"Jared gave me great service and walk me through each item on both my home and auto insurance. He showed me me difference between my old policy and what his policy was and how it would work in my favor. His price was less than my old policy and the best part on top of all that, when you call his office you get a live person to talk to. The company I was with before it was a AI bot that you had to deal with. AAAAAA++++×"
"Thank you for the amazing 5-star review! We’re so glad Jared was able to walk you through your home and auto coverage, compare your old policy to the options we provided, and help you see how it would work in your favor. We’re also happy to hear you appreciated the personal, live support when you call—it's exactly how we want every experience to feel.
Thanks again for choosing State Farm!"

"My wife and I just purchased a place in the area and I needed to get insurance. I first called a different insurance company in the area and the lady was extremely rude and off-putting. I called State Farm and spoke to Ryan and he was incredible from the very beginning. He got me a home quote in no time and was extremely nice, personable, and easy to work with. I’m really looking forward to working with him more in the future. Thanks Ryan!"
"Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We truly appreciate you and your wife choosing State Farm.
We’re glad Ryan was able to make the insurance process easy and stress-free—especially after your experience with the other company. It’s great to hear he was responsive, friendly, and got you a home quote quickly.
We look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks again for your trust!"

"Scheduled an appointment with State Farm Representative Jared Benak within the Michael Smith State Farm office in Kalkaska. Jared met with my wife and I on time and with a smile. Jared's knowledge of the current insurance market and nuances regarding homeowners, vehicle and umbrella policies is well-versed and thorough. Jared has a relaxed and professional conversational style which we found very easy to engage with during the initial and followup meetings. Jared was not trying to "sell" us on any specific product. Through a detailed question and answer session, Jared was able to provide us a solid pathway to appropriate insurance coverage levels while being mindful of costs. Appreciate Jared's interest and dedication to his profession and to the customers he works with. Glad we made the call."
"Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear that Jared met you and your wife on time, with a friendly, professional attitude, and that his knowledge of the insurance market and policy nuances was helpful.
We also appreciate your note about the conversational, no-pressure approach—our goal is always to walk customers through the details, answer questions thoroughly, and help them find coverage that fits their needs and budget.
We’re very pleased you made the call and chose State Farm. Thanks again for your kind words!"

"Jared was honestly a blast to talk to. He really understood my needs to switch insurance and wanting to save money. I am paying currently $250-270 with Progressive and that’s just with auto insurance. Now with Jared’s help I am paying $60 bucks less AND have additional benefits that I didn’t have before. So thank you very much, you’ve helped out a great deal!"
