State Farm Home Insurance Reviews

Date: September 18, 2019    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Male    Marital Status: Unmarried

Premium
The premium and deductible of my policy is better than I've been able to get through other insurance companies for the price. Either the policy is more expensive or they're making me have a higher deductible.

Date: April 08, 2019    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Policy Offerings
I feel like State Farm is competitive in their rates and what they offer. They are comparable to other full service insurance companies and much better than discount companies.


Date: February 12, 2019    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Unmarried

Customer Service
State Farm's customer service has been great. My agent has personally called me to let me know of any savings that were available.

Date: January 11, 2019    Age: 20 to 29    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Unmarried

Customer Service
Luckily I have not had to contact them often, but when I have for certain occasions they are usually quite responsive and helpful. I have not had a bad experience.

Date: October 02, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Communication
I find interacting with my company is satisfactory. I do not give any businesses a perfect score as I always feel there is room for improvement in anything.

Date: September 23, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Unmarried

Customer Service
I haven't dealt much with their customer service. I have called to check on my payments and was very satisfied with their response time and information given to me.

Date: September 21, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Customer Service
We have had very good experiences with State Farm and one very very bad experience with State Farm. They aren't the best at communicating things when there is an issue and it cost us a lot of money in a denied claim. I felt betrayed and we would have switched companies if it wouldn't have cost us so much more.

Date: September 04, 2018    Age: 40 to 49    Gender: Male    Marital Status: Married

Premium
State Farm was MUCH cheaper than the other companies we looked at (i.e. Travelers, USAA-surprising, etc.) We have all of our insurance policies with State Farm since it was cheaper if we bundled them.

Date: August 25, 2018    Age: 20 to 29    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Unmarried

It's straightforward but I would love if it had a chat option. A quick way to talk about all of the policies I have with State Farm.

Everything inside and outside the main house as well as the carriage house and pool. It also includes an umbrella policy for $1 million.

Date: May 31, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Date: May 08, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Website/App
It is very easy to navigate and find the information I need. It is easy to find contact information and set up auto pay. I can always check on my policy coverages.

Date: March 23, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Male    Marital Status: Married

Communication
Communication is the biggest issue I have with State Farm. They only communicate when they are trying to sell us additional products.

Travelers Home Insurance Reviews

Date: August 14, 2018    Age: Above 60    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Unmarried

Date: July 27, 2018    Age: Above 60    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

We've just moved, so we've not had to deal with much of the company's representatives. It was easy enough to apply and set up coverage.

Date: May 26, 2018    Age: 40 to 49    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Nationwide Home Insurance Reviews

Date: September 07, 2019    Age: Above 60    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Unmarried

Customer Service
Although I've been insured with the company for more than ten years, I've never interacted with its customer service and can't write a negative review.

Date: November 19, 2018    Age: 30 to 39    Gender: Female    Marital Status: Married

Customer Service
I have had a good experience with the home owner's insurance companies customer service. However, when I first started using them I was able to walk into the office and get personalized information. Now, the company has moved to online only. That is fine because I prefer to contact most businesses online, but Nationwide's website is not personalized, I do not feel all of the information pertains to me.
