"Every person at Barb Shelley's office is extremely helpful, professional, and very kind. I recently had a complicated auto claim and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure that my work was completed to my liking. I really felt like she was my advocate in a difficult situation. Deb is also top notch! Any time I have a question or adjustment to a policy, she always quickly responds and is a fabulous communicator."
We responded:
"Thank you Kristy! The team and I love helping make your life easier in the insurance market! We are here to serve you and so thankful to have you as a policy holder. "

"This branch of State Farm supporting the Williamsburg area is amazing. I needed to switch my auto and home insurance this year and not only did they give me a great price but the customer service and there willingness to to go over multiple options was top tier. I worked with Debora Bresnathan and she was excellent throughout the entire process. With her help I was able to get a lower home insurance premium than my existing homeowners policy and a lower car insurance premium than the company I have been with for the past 6 years. Thanks Deb for all the help."
We responded:
"Thank you very much! It always makes us feel wonderful knowing we have helped save our policyholders money and provide great personal service! We really appreciate you! "

"I had a fantastic meeting with Robin, the team leader in Barbara's office. We met to go over my policies for the upcoming year and she was thorough and patient in explaining all of the line items to me. In addition, she offered ways I could save money on auto and home insurance and I even found out I could still submit a claim on sewer work at my house. I am so glad I met in person with Robin - she is personable and educated me on my coverage. I'd highly recommend this office."
We responded:
"Thank Melinda! We are all so happy to help save on your insurance premiums and with claims. We are here for you! And yes, Robin is pretty special! She will be thrilled by your kind words. "

"State Farm has been my family’s insurance provider for at least the past 40 years, and Barbara Shelly has been my personal agent for the past seven, since I relocated to Williamsburg. Barbara and her staff are beyond stellar. They have worked consistently to ensure my coverage never has never lapsed for any unforeseen reasons from auto billing hiccups to unexpected property coverage requirement changes. I highly recommend this office for State Farm. Knowing they are in my corner helps me sleep well at night."
We responded:
"Hi Laila: You are so wonderful! We appreciate your review! My team and I are delighted to know you are having a super/ great experience with our State Farm office. If you ever need any assistance in the future, as you know, we are here to help!"

"I never leave reviews but had to make an exception. I was in a really tough spot last Friday and needed help with adding a new vehicle to our policy. I reached out to the company that dose provide coverage for our fleet, well it was 4:38 pm, and I couldn't get anyone in that office to pick up the phone. Desperate, I called Barbs office, they answered and covered the truck so we would not be down. It was 4:59 they close at 5, now that is caring for your customers."
We responded:
"Thank you Mike - we enjoy taking care of you and should you ever need us after business hours, you can! I’m so happy this all worked out! "

My agents Robin and Barbara were able to connect me with her team and her people. Almost immediately securing a tow truck and the car rental and a workshop Near Youngstown, Ohio, and had us on our way home six hours later. We stay with us by Text Phone an email next two days, And have already a check issued Reimbursement of my expenses is less my deductible. I'll be picking up my car-Driving back to Youngstown returning the rental and all I can say is our life is much easier. Thanks to the State Farm team throughout.

"Insurance can be overwhelming for me at times but if I am unclear about something in my policy, I can always rely on Deborah at the Barbara Shelly SF office to help me with a question. Actually speaking with my agent has become a luxury in these days of “chatting” with an online robot."
We responded:
"Hi Ursula - no you very much. My team and I always enjoy speaking with our policyholders and making sure you are well taken care of! We appreciate you! "

"We moved to VA 5 yrs ago and switched our 40+ year relationship with State Farm to this agency. I have been very happy overall, but our first claim here and first in almost 20 yrs, was for a faulty new refrigerator install that has been denied saying it was a leak over time (a week before the appliance company could get someone out here to determine why our ice maker wasn't producing ice & no visible water on the floor to alert us). East Coast Appliance did not connect the water line to the ice maker, but did connect the water line to the water source, causing a very small amount of water to squirt out the unconnected hose - so small that we never saw any water & we just assumed there was a clog somewhere in the line preventing water from getting to the ice maker. (We called State Farm after East Coast started ghosting us about taking responsibility for the faulty install.) We sent photos of the damage and fully explained the progression of events, including that the water had been squirting out for days before East Coast came out and discovered the problem. The claims adjuster assigned to us didn't contact us for many weeks after initially acknowledging our claim. The Shelly agency, which we finally contacted, said they had been trying to get updates from the claims agent with no luck, so told us if the repair was less than $10,000, the Shelly agency would handle it in-house and just issue a check, then go after East Coast as the responsibly party, so we thought it was a viable claim, assuming the agency had looked at our policy and seen it was covered. We followed their advice, got ServPro to come out and dry out the floors, got estimates to repair and submitted those (More than $10,000 when you included ServPro's bill) More weeks went by with no updates from either of them and then we got a call from our claims agent apologizing for the massive delays and saying our claim was denied, which Shelly agency said they would appeal and no follow-up since then. This was now 4 months since the bad install. I am not happy with the delays, that no one told us up front it wasn't covered and the lack of communication throughout."

"Barbara Shelly has been our State Farm agent for nearly a decade. She is well-informed and connected - she has advised us well on insurance matters and has recommended 'top-tier' companies to perform repairs or provide services. We have made auto, home, and boat claims over the past 10 years and have received exceptionally fast, fair, and efficient service from her, her office staff, and State Farm adjusters. Barbara stays in touch with her clients and follows up personally on settled insurance claims to ensure that repairs and services were completed to our satisfaction. I am very pleased with the personal service Barbara provides, and I feel like a valued client as a result."
We responded:
"Thank you so much Bruce and Mary Jo! Such nice words from wonderful people. I have enjoyed working with you these last few years. Such a pleasure. I hope to see y’all soon!"
