"We have always gotten great results from state farm with our auto claims. Everyone is very helpful and kind in times of chaos and frustration."
"Thank you for your kind words, Kelly! We’re grateful for your trust over the years. Claims are never fun to go through, so it means a lot to hear that our team has been able to make those stressful situations a little easier. We truly appreciate your support and are always here whenever you need us. Thanks again for the 5-star review! Have a great 4th of July!"

"Had Ststaefarm for four years only here in Perham. In that four years, our escrow went up twice. After the first time, we were told it would be watched before the next yearly review. Not only was it NOT watched, we also didn’t receive any type of paper documentation that it went up almost 1,000 along with our mortgage payment. When confronted we were told it would get reprocessed (after some paperwork on our end with some attitude from Brianna) it’s been over a month and we are still paying another larger mortgage payment while we “wait” for things to progress. Well; we just changed companies instead. No real customer service, it seems this local company is literally just for “likes”. BTW, even writing this, the policy still hadn’t updated. If you want to be in the “in crowed” in Perham, go on in and sign up, if you want a real, grown up company, that does what they say and help monitor it’s clients, you’ll probably want to move on. I hope you’re also monitoring this review, Jake and Brianna."
"David & Christine,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry this situation left you feeling frustrated.
After receiving your email, I personally reviewed your policy, investigated what occurred, and responded with a detailed explanation of the timeline. While some of the details shared in this review don’t fully reflect the circumstances, I do understand your frustration.
As soon as our office became aware of the premium increase, we reviewed your policy, discussed multiple options to reduce the premium, and submitted the changes you requested effective that same day. Unfortunately, like any company, we rely on technology and processing systems that aren’t perfect. In this case, an unexpected processing delay prevented those changes from being completed as quickly as any of us would have liked. The requested policy change was submitted effective June 4 and, once processing is complete, will be backdated to that effective date so the premium is adjusted accordingly and any applicable overpayment is corrected.
I also recognize your concern regarding communication about your renewal. We strive to be proactive, and in this instance that communication did not happen as intended. We have already reviewed this internally to help prevent similar situations in the future.
While I’m disappointed we weren’t able to earn back your confidence, I appreciate the opportunity to review your concerns and wish you and your family nothing but the best moving forward."

"I reached out to get quotes on home and auto. April responded within the day and I had quotes for both within 2 days of reaching out. They compared by current policies to the quotes and explained them to me thoroughly. Great, friendly service and we had much lower premiums put into place in just over a week."
"Thanks so much for the great review, Tiffany! We’re glad you reached out for your home and auto quotes and that April was able to get everything to you quickly and clearly. Taking the time to compare your current coverage and make sure everything made sense is exactly what we aim for. Even better that we could help you save with lower premiums! We truly appreciate your business and are here anytime you need us."

"I've been a State Farm client for decades and with the Jake Bothwell Agency in Perham most recently. Jake and staff have always been attentive and informative, professional and friendly, and with my best interests in mind. Brianna, Office Manager, consistently presents with care and personal acknowledgement. This is why I remain a State Farm client!"
"Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such a loyal client over the years! We truly appreciate you and your trust in our team. It means a lot to hear that you’ve had great experiences with us, and we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to Brianna. We’re grateful to have you as part of our State Farm family and look forward to continuing to serve you!"

"I have lived several years in Minnesota and have had State Farm Insurance. I was unhappy with the agent I had. I recently found out I could transfer agents to another town if I chose too. I transferred to Jake in Perham. What a wonderful experience I have had with him. He spent more time with me at our first meeting than my previous agent had in all the years I was at the other agency. There were many things in my homeowners policy that were incorrect or left out. Jake went through everything with me so it is now up to date. I found Jake to be a knowledgeable agent who has his clients best interests at heart. I look forward to working with him for years to come."
"Sindy, thank you for taking the time to share this thoughtful review! I’m truly glad you made the switch and that we were able to walk through your homeowners policy together to make sure everything was accurate and up to date. Educating clients and making sure coverage actually fits their needs is very important to me. I appreciate your trust and look forward to serving you for many years to come. If you ever need anything—or if friends or family are looking for guidance—you now know who to call :) "
