I've been a customer of Eckert insurance for years which is saying ALOT! I used to bounce around trying to find the best rate but they have always gotten me such a great rate for my home/auto that I have stayed with them and plan to for man years to come! Tracey Urbanek is my go to gal and she is the BEST!

I actually didn't get any service here but the initial inquiry experience was extremely terrible for me. I called multiple times and every time a different person would tell me that no one here can help you for the day and asked me to call back on another day. Who would wait around to pay a service around their schedule? I also give them my contact info and no one ever called me back!

A friend referred me to Eckert Insurance group when I complained to him that every year my home owner's insurance increased about 10% despite having no claims. I worked with Tracy at Eckert Insurance Group. She was professional, friendly and found home owner's insurance that offered more coverage than my current policy and was at a lower price. I couldn't be happier.

Do you tell your friends, neighbors and coworkers about your insurance agent? I do. I heard about Eckert Insurance on KUT 90.5 during an NPR broadcast. I liked them immediately, just for that. Then my auto and homeowner's insurance were both coming up for renewal and my premium for Geico jumped drastically. Admittedly, I was in a teensy weenie scraping incident a few month prior.
I emailed Will giving him a little info about what I was looking for. He came back with an auto policy that was a bit more than the inflated Geico policy I had. I was a bit disappointed though not surprised. However, Will told me that was the total amount per YEAR, the Geico policy was for just 6 months! Of course I jumped on it. Will took care of everything with the new carrier including setting up my auto draft.
He even changed the payment date for me. I didn't have to do a thing but e-sign the docs. I recommend him to anyone who will listen. Hear me now and believe me later :) (Sorry, I couldn't resist) Did I mention he sent me a $25 Visa gift card as a token of his appreciation?

I would recommend Eckert Group to anyone shopping for insurance. I loved getting to connect with a friendly, experienced agent who knew what to ask me and who got back to me with a quote very quickly. I am very pleased to be saving money on the policies I chose with their help, and I know any time I have a question, I can count on getting an answer quickly. This is how service is done right!

Incompetent and unhelpful. --------------------------------------------------- I asked for quotes for two different scenarios: --------------------------------------------------- SCENARIO 1: - New car with 2 adults + 2 teens SCENARIO 2: - New car with 2 adults - Old car with 2 teens --------------------------------------------------- This is what Blanca returned: --------------------------------------------------- SCENARIO 1: - OLD car (wrong) with 2 adults + 2 teens SCENARIO 2: - New car with *1* adult (should be 2) - Old car with 1 adult (wrong) + 2 teens But that's not why they're getting one star. It's because when I said that's not what I asked for, and asked for the proper quotes, rather than providing them, Blanca replied, "I don't feel that our agency will be the best match for you." That's very true. I need an agent who can follow simple instructions, and is willing to correct their mistakes.

I have been with Eckert Insurance for about 2-1/2 years, and in that time, I have found them to be one of the most helpful and friendliest staff of professionals that I have ever known. I have my auto and my home with them. Recently, I had to file both an auto and a home owner claim and the process was easy and the results were everything I could have expected. Blanca Samilpa is the consummate professional. Always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Eckert Insurance to anyone who likes local service and speaking to a live person.
