"I would just like to say my experience at State Farm has been absolutely wonderful experience. Largely in part because of Deborah Bresnahan who is a true professional at her craft!"

"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."
"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."
"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!"

"Every time I have needed insurance help, Barbara's office has been there for me! Every time I get one of those annoying calls that says they can save me money (and maybe they can but I never let them give me a quote), they cannot compare to the service and support of working with really good people. Barb and Robin are really the best !!"
"Thank you so much Tracey. We really love taking care of all your insurance needs. You are like a part part of the family to us! "

"Robin Lobus is such an asset to your office! I needed a certificate of insurance and a quote for increased Auto limits. She did one better and offered a less expensive solution by recomending an Umbrella policy which provided better coverage but at less cost. And was able to have this all ready in less than 30 minutes. That's service! Ned Parrish"
