"They will continue to increase your rates without having any accidents or tickets. I was paying $150 when I started my policy and by the time I termed I was at $250, insane. Staff is snotty as well"
"Hello, I appreciate your candid feedback, and while it's disheartening to read your post, it provides us with a chance to reassess how we communicate with our customers over the phone. On average, we handle around one hundred calls each day, and we strive to listen attentively to our customers' concerns while being empathetic and focused on solutions. In a world where rates are likely to rise due to current conditions and a litigious environment, we do our best to find ways for our customers to save. However, there are times when we are unable to influence the rates, and we must acknowledge those limitations. "

"I contacted Kathy Buzalsky at State Farm insurance after I was tired of seeing my insurance rate rise every year. I was with Farmers Insurance for 40 years. I was a loyal longtime customer of Farmers Insurance, but I got tired of Farmers raising my rates over the last four years by ridiculous amounts. so I decided to shop around at different insurance companies for better rates. I contacted Kathy Buzalsky at State Farm because she has been in the business for over 36 years. She also was highly recommended by friends of mine. I worked with both Kathy and John Ralph at the Clackamas office and the quote I was given absolutely blew me away. The quote I was given was over $4000 a year less than what I was paying at farmers for the exact same coverage. I could not believe this, but it was true. And in addition to this, my deductibles were lower and my coverage was higher. This was unbelievable. I wish I would’ve contacted Kathy‘s office sooner because of all the potential money I could have saved over the years when I was still at Farmers Insurance. Kathy and John were able to produce an accurate quote in a very short time frame and made the process very easy for my family. don’t make the mistake I made by waiting to contact Kathy and John at State Farm insurance. If you’re looking to save real money on your homeowners and auto insurance, I would call them immediately to receive a quote. I can guarantee you that you will be saving some big money like me. I highly recommend Kathy Buzalsky and John Ralph at State Farm Insurance. Jamie Karn"
"Thank you Jamie for such an amazing review! We are all doing the happy dance in the office.😀 We love saving customers money, but better yet we love bringing on new customers that are so enjoyable to work with. We appreciate you!"

"I just had the pleasure of working with Shalina Hollingbery from Kathy Buzalky’s State Farm Agency. Shalina was very responsive and easy to work with right off the bat! She wasn’t pushy at all with her sales tactic but instead used a wonderful consultative sales approach that made me feel like she had my family’s best interest at heart. When I wasn’t able to consult on the phone right away, she was open to working with me by email to get my quotes ready for me. As someone who used to work in the industry, I admired Shalina’s perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism."
"Kayla, thank you for your wonderful review! Shalina is gifted at connecting with people because she truly cares about making sure they have the right coverages in place and at the best price we can offer. I feel fortunate to have her on my team and I appreciate you singing her praises. We are also very grateful to have you as our customer!"

"I switched over to State Farm Insurance a few months back and have no regrets. I can't say enough great things about my insurance agent Shalina. She is absolutely amazing! Shalina is a true professional - attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring about my family's insurance needs. She's always quick to respond to questions and concerns. If you are looking for insurance, reach out to Shalina at State Farm Insurance."
"Shalina is a true asset to the agency as she doesn't just focus on providing the best rate, but she goes all out to make sure customers are well taken care of with the best coverages for their situation. I'm extremely lucky to have her on my team, and somehow she always seems to attract the best new customers as well. Thank you Elizabeth for your kind review."

"I was with Kathy's State Farm Agency for a little over two years and had an overall great experience. My last account representative, Ed Vetsch, was amazing! We only worked together for a few months before I moved out of state, but every time I contacted the office with a question or issue, Ed provided excellent customer service. He was a true joy to work with. If I move back to Oregon, I definitely plan to keep my insurance with Kathy's agency so I can once again say my insurance representative is Ed from State Farm."
"Thank you Shawn for recognizing Ed. He is our friendly voice when customers call in and the first smiling person they see when they walk in the door. He has a way of always making everyone feel welcome. Fingers crossed that you move back to Oregon!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Shalina today for my car insurance needs, and I must say, she was nothing short of exceptional. From the get-go, Shalina demonstrated an unparalleled level of customer service, staying on the phone with me, patiently walking me through the entire process, and answering every question I had with clarity and detail. Her expertise and knowledge in the field were evident, providing me with invaluable information that helped me make an informed decision. But it wasn’t just her professional skills that made the experience outstanding; it was also her great sense of humor that made what could have been a tedious process, enjoyable. Thanks to Shalina, I ended up saving a significant amount of money on my car insurance, a testament to her commitment to ensuring the best for her clients. I couldn’t have navigated through the day without her guidance and support. So, a huge thank you to Shalina for not just being a fantastic consultant, but also a delightful person to interact with. Her dedication and positive attitude have truly set a high standard for customer service. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just insurance, but peace of mind. Thank you, Shalina, for everything!"
