Customer Reviews
Over the years, Dawn Standage has taken good care of our family by finding insurance policies that fit all of our needs. We are so grateful for her and everyone else at Barney!
Went on Dave Ramsey's website to find a local independent insurance dealer, the insurance agency called within 5 minutes! Went in and had coffee, gave them my info and ended up saving $170. Dollars a year on car insurance. On my rental same price but more coverage! Customer service is very high on my review! Joni Paulsen was great!
For almost 3 weeks we dealt with an agent via email and phone calls trying to secure GL and WC insurance for our new business. Tim Dycus was our man! From the very beginning, once I heard Tim's voice and the way he listened to me ramble on about all of the legal lingo which I could barely pronounce, he never once made me feel "less than". He has a way of speaking with you that instantly calms you, puts you at ease. When the day arrived that we made an appointment to finally sign our papers, I was still a bit apprehensive just because I know nothing about insurance. But the moment you walk into the beautiful facility and meet the very kind Receptionist and have a seat, that is when you realize that you are in a safe place, a comfortable place, and you are welcome. Christian music is playing softly, everyone is joyful and greets you with a smile. There are kind words and scripture hanging on the wall. It's just a calm and surreal place to be. I am a true believer that God places people i
Knowledgeable, very helpful, provided the education to make the best decision.
I needed to change my Medicare supplement because the one I d had for the past several years kept jumping in price yearly. Isaac Lind of Barney Financial was extremely helpful in finding me another plan that covered the same benefits at a significantly lower price. Thanks, Isaac!
Barney insurance and Barney financial are both wonderful! Always quick, easy, reliable, and best decision Ive ever made.
Tim and the team have always been great to us. Keep us in the loop on things, and respond quickly when we need something. Great partners!
I always get clear details of the products we are looking. Questions are answered quickly. Everyone is friendly Helpful with reminders and follow-up.
I have had dealings with Tim Dycus and Isaac Lind, and both individuals have been professional and offered knowable sound advise. However, I have not received any Christmas cards from them. LOL
Barney's has always been there for me whenever I need to make an adjustment to or use my insurance! Appreciate the excellent customer service.
