JOLIE STINSON

"I was searching for new car insurance quotes and went to one of the comparison sites to get multiple quotes from various insurance companies. I received a phone call and voice mail message from Jake Gerdes. I honestly didn't think much of it. I then received a text message from Jake as well. I was in somewhat of a hurry to get my new car insurance coverage and didn't really have the time to speak with multiple agents. However, I texted Jake back and told him that I was looking for full coverage. He immediately provided me with a quote via text message and email. I wound up taking a 6 month policy with another major insurance company. I told Jake that I had already taken a 6 month policy with the other company but that I would consider using him when the new policy was up in 6 months. Now, let me be clear, I don't know Jake Gerdes from the Man on the Moon and I personally know people who are State Farm Agency owners but Jake set himself apart from the rest of the agents and agencies that I have ever encountered and/or communicated with. Jake's tenacity and follow-up skill set are AMAZING!! Jake is consistent in his approach but not at all pushy, nor does he make you feel like he's trying to "sell" you. He is kind, respectful, professional and after finally speaking with him person to person, he is a genuine and sincere person ! I took a policy with Jake and was so impressed by his professionalism that I am looking to have my mother switch over her home owner's policy to Jake's agency as well. Finally and most importantly, after purchasing a policy with Jake's State Farm agency, Jake actually mailed me a HAND WRITTEN thank you card to show his appreciation for obtaining my business. In my opinion, hand written thank you cards are a lost art form in general, but not at all lost to a young, aspiring agent like Jake. It made my day and restored my faith in the younger generation of professionals as Jake is by ALL means a TRUE Professional in every sense of the word. I know that Jake will be a TOP Producing agent in no time, if he is not already, and his successful future will most definitely be a well deserved one and I wish him the ABSOLUTE BEST !!"
"Thank you so much, Jolie, for the incredibly kind and thoughtful review! I’m truly honored by your words and grateful that you gave me the opportunity to assist you with your auto insurance needs—even after initially choosing a different insurance provider.

At Jake Gerdes State Farm, we strive to make the process of selecting the right car insurance policy, homeowners insurance, or any other personal insurance coverage simple, transparent, and stress-free. I’m thrilled to hear that our team’s commitment to personalized service and attention to detail made a difference for you. And thank you for recognizing the handwritten thank-you card! That personal touch is just one of the many ways we try to show appreciation and build real relationships with the people we serve.

"I was helping my son find a new car insurance company, got a quote from Jake Gerdes State Farm Ins, was very happy with the quote. Called on a Saturday, they were closed so I left a message not thinking I would get a call back on a day they were closed but I did. And got the info on what was included in the policy and said I would look it over and call back on Monday. Called on Monday, very impressed with the representative I spoke with she was so very nice, helpful and cheery, needed that on the day I was having. And I have to admit the representative I spoke with on Saturday was great as well she didn't have to call me on her day off. Very happy we decided on Jake Gerdes State Farm, i definitely will recommend them to friends and family!"

"I worked with Jake for over a month on considering a change from our insurance provider to State Farm. Jake was always prompt and professional with his responses, and was able to help us arrive in the right position with regards to insurance coverage. He was honest and transparent when asked a few challenging questions, and was just great to work with. One reason we were moving was due to horrid treatment with our former insurance provider. Jake worked hard to win our business, and we are happy to now be associated with him and his office."

"Jake from State Farm isn't just a commercial fantasy; he's the real deal! Fast, friendly, and knowledgeable, he and his team walked us through our first homeowners insurance bundle, answering all our inane questions and obliging all our nitpicking details. We never felt pressured to buy more than we needed, and they actually ended up saving us so much money on our home and auto we were able to buy our first life policies too. 10/10 will recommend."

"i’ve been working With Jake Gerdes at State Farm for the past couple of months often and on. And every encounter is better than the last. His staff Michelle or Gabriella and of course Jacob himself just seem to go out of their way to try to help us get what we have to have to be legitimately insured and adequately insured to meet our needs and protect us on our assets. I’ve gone on a rampage with about 12 different major insurance carriers in the last three months trying to find the right company to meet my needs. None of those other companies came even close. Do not give them a shot at supply. Your insurance needs would be a foolish choice on your part."
"Jim! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for trusting Jake Gerdes State Farm with your insurance needs! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with our team—Madolyn, Gabriella, Miranda, Madison and myself—has been so positive. Ensuring you are not only legitimately insured but also adequately insured to protect your assets is always our top priority.

Your trust and support mean the world to us, and we look forward to continuing to serve you and your family! Thanks again, Jim, for such an amazing review. We’re here whenever you need us!"
