"I found this office little difficult to understand how it's run. There seem no communication between office agents and agent working from home. I had office agents asking questions and I'm dealing with agent working from home and seem doesn't know what the left hand doing from right hand. I found home replacement information details were not correct. This could lead an over inflated home owner premium."
"Hi Bill, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry our communication felt disconnected, and I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.
Part of our review process is periodically checking in with customers to make sure the information used to estimate the replacement cost of their home is still accurate. In this case, we did not have a current replacement cost report on file, so we prepared one for you to review and update based on the details of your home. Your recent updates are helpful in making sure we are working with the most accurate information possible.
I’m glad we have time scheduled to review everything together soon, and I look forward to addressing any remaining questions and making sure you feel comfortable with the information we have on file and your coverage. - Thank you, Julie"

"I highly recommend State Farm especially this office. Angelica helped me when my odometer reading was given to them and it was way off. She had me send her a picture of my odometer and fixed it immediately and adjusted my rates! Thank you again Angelica!"
"Thank you so much for the 5 stars, Maureen! We really appreciate your support. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out anytime. "

"My overall experience with this office felt very transactional. It seems that genuine friendliness and attentive service are strictly reserved for paying clients. If you aren't actively bringing in business, the overall attitude and courtesy drop significantly. True professionalism should be consistent for everyone, regardless of whether a purchase is made."
"Hi Chaninya, our team strives to treat everyone with warmth, respect, and attentive service, whether or not they purchase insurance. We’re concerned to hear that your experience felt otherwise.
We’re unable to locate a record under the name displayed on this review. Please contact our office directly and ask for Julie so I can learn more about your interaction and address your concerns personally."

"What a treat! Before switching offices, I treated calling an insurance office like I'm calling a government office: sitting on hold for an hour, then getting transferred to voicemail, ignored for 2 weeks, then called back with attitude. But this office does things differently! I called in, was quickly greeted by a real person, and she was a delight! Rebecca was polite and charming, while also being knowledgeable and quick with the support. Thank you!"
"Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with our office was such a refreshing change. We believe insurance should be easy, accessible, and handled with genuine care. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Rebecca—she’ll be delighted to know her knowledge, professionalism, and friendly service made such a great impression. Thank you for choosing our office! We truly appreciate your business and trust. - Thank you, Julie"

"I've had many different agents and used many different agencies, but no one compares to Julie and her team. We have several lines of insurance, and she has found many ways to lower my bill without compromising my coverage. Her team is always there to answer my questions, and they do it with the best attitude. I wrote this review without anyone asking because I am very grateful for the service and attention that Julie gives to us. Thank you!!!"

"Time and time again I am so pleased with the service I get from Kelcei at Julie Sumiki’s office. Not only does she do all of the adding and subtracting of cars/properties on our policy (which we do a lot) but more importantly when we have insurance issues or policy questions, Kelcei takes over and quickly responds and resolves all the matters with ease. Too many things to worry about in our lives and businesses so it’s very reassuring that all of our insurance needs are well taken care of. Thank you Kelcei and Julie Sumiki’s team!!!"
"Thank you for the 5 star review! Shawna and the rest of our State Farm team will always be here to help with all your insurance needs. Never hesitate to reach out to us! - Julie"

"Absolute Best Insurance Experience!
I cannot say enough good things about State Farm and the incredible team at this office!
Recently, my car was totaled in an accident, which is usually an incredibly stressful situation. However, they took care of absolutely everything from start to finish. What stood out the most was their incredible communication—they kept me updated every step of the way and consistently reached out just to check in and see if I needed anything at all.
Everyone in the office has been amazing, but a special shoutout goes to Rebecca. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and made a tough situation so much easier to handle.
If you want an insurance team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers top-notch service when you need it most, this is the place. Highly recommended!"
"Rainier, thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review - we’re so grateful for your feedback! "
