1 /5 Sheila Schroeder: I remarried after my late husband passed. My husband wanted to keep is insurance as he had been with them for years. Since I was moving into his home, I dropped my 30 year policy with a really great agent for Casey Wassel and Allstate. WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!!
Never once has Casey ever reached out to us when we were getting rate increase. This year imagine our sticker shock when our homeowners insurance DOUBLED! Never once did he reach out to discuss this $1100 increase. Only thing his office help Teresa said, was all rates are going up and then told me to let her know when I wanted to cancel with them. I cant imagine how people who live paycheck to paycheck would handle this. Completely unacceptable, what do we pay him for, if not to make sure we are aware of what is happening with our insurance accts.? Excuse me for thinking he was supposed to be working for us. My old agent ALWAYS contacted us and let us know we may have an increase in rates coming and WHY? He said he want to make sure we were financially planning and ready for this increase way before it hit. BELIEVE ME when I say, not all agents are equal.
When I reacheded out I was upset as this was not the first or even 2nd year of dealing with this exact issue, but was basically told it is what it is. I could save $200 if I want to jump from a $500 deductable to a 5K deductable. Dont waste your time or money. Once Casey is done courting you and has your business there is no service. We are shopping and will be leaving Allstate, they, nor Casey and his lack luster incompetent staff dont align with what we expect from our insurance agent.
