Christopher W., 2/26/2021 2:14:47 AM

Hal Baker, the insurance broker whom I worked with to develop a customized insurance quote in order to meet the demands and expectations of my current insurance needs, invested approximately six to eight hours of phone discussions with me, which excludes the amount of time he spent contacting each insurance carrier's underwriting department individually in hopes I would be eligible for coverage, and he presented a plethora of options to me with the most comprehensive policy that my budget permits; he met and exceeded my expectations by preparing a Westfield Insurance Company proposal that includes more features, less name recognition on a consumer level but more focused, renowned, and respected in the insurance industry versus my current carrier, added an umbrella to my policy, which I have never been privy to in the past, inquired about my English Tudor home's sophisticated features, craftsmanship, and building construction, and to my surprise, Goosehead ended up being more competitive with regard to pricing: I am pleased to express the utmost satisfaction with his product line, unparalleled performance, and proceeding to exclusively conduct business with him with the intent to purchase insurance products. I would highly recommend Hal to family, friends, or anyone who casually broaches the topic of insurance company options, and I sincerely believe he represents the best insurance agent / broker who I have ever conducted business with up to the present moment.
