Catherine Riedstra - State Farm Insurance Agent - San Luis Obispo (CA)

5 /5 Marlene Smith: Catherine has been the best insurance agent I’ve honestly ever had. From the subtle kind gesture of sending me delicious cookies after becoming my agent from day 1, to helping me through a claim that happened on private property & holding my hand through it all as my first incident to being an overall amazing agent by keeping me well informed & her honesty. She never hesitated to be there when I needed her, had questions or needed answers or something fully explained-she was there to make sure I fully understood policies & she does it with patience & great customer service. You can tell she truly cares about her clients & her efforts show! Unfortunately State Farm raised the prices in Jan 2025 for California & Oregon, which increased my monthly premium nearly $50 & it was already at $300 a month for full coverage auto & renters bundle. I was doing what I could to keep my agent, however found another insurance that offered the same premium, coverage & deductible for $150 less at $210 a month & I could not refuse financially. This has been one of the hardest things for me to adjust to, as I already Miss Catherine & my State Farm customer service. Financially though, I couldn’t justify it. I sure do hope I can return at a later time & get Catherine back. She’s amazing.

5 /5 Amy Blalock: Catherine and her team are honest and knowledgeable. I have been with them since I moved to town 5 years ago. Catherine always ensures I get the best rate and proper coverage. I always feel she has my best interest in mind. She takes the time to answer all my questions never making me feel rushed or unheard. I trust Catherine and her office staff. There is no better Insurance Agent in SLO.

5 /5 Kyli Logan: I have had the pleasure of working with Amy in obtaining coverage for my auto and 5th wheel. She has also seen me through an out of state move and home again. She goes above in service and is always professional and personable. I now refer my family and friends directly to her. Thank you Amy for the peace of mind you provide in protecting the things and people who matter most to me!
