"I started off with Chey and she was so helpful with any questions I had and bouncing back if forth because I can't make a decision to save my life. She was also so kind and reached out multiple times to welcome me and make sure all my questions were answered even after I was a customer! Jake initially set up my payments and answered the further questions I had while Chey was gone. He picked right up where she left off and was so easy going. He was very thorough with everything and patient with me we finished things up. I definitely recommend both of them for any of your state farm needs!"

"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. We understand how overwhelming it can be to compare insurance providers, and we’re so glad that we could stand out among the competition to provide the right coverage for you. Whether it’s auto insurance, home insurance, or even life insurance, our goal is to offer personalized service that helps you feel confident and protected. If you have any additional questions or need assistance with policy updates or exploring other options, don’t hesitate to reach out. 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!"
