We purchased our car and home insurance from the Skeele Agency 2 years ago. We wanted to work with a local agency. We were very pleased with our experience with Maurine Brown. She spent lots of time with us and answered all our questions. We just purchased a new car and decided to stay with the Skeele Agency. Couldn't ask for better service.

Response from the owner: We pride ourselves on our service, and glad you have taken notice! Our door is always open, so reach out to Maurine, or any of our staff anytime with anything you may need!

Tara C.

The whole process of switching agencies was easy and Matt Skeele couldn't have been any more helpful. Every time a question has come up we will email Matt and he responds almost immediately. Switching from Allstate to Skeele for home owner insurance and car insurance wasn't only a better financial option but has turned out to be one of the best choices we've ever made. Thank you so much for everything and I will continue to refer every person I speak with to your agency.

Response from the owner: Always great to hear that a client is completely satisfied with the big decision to change insurance agencies! As always, let us know if you guys need anything!

Paul H.

Skeele Agency has been insuring my home and property since I first moved to Central NY in 1996: that is 22 years! Their customer service is unparalleled. I have filed claims for wind storms that caused quite a lot of damage, including to boats, trees, roofing-- always with a very high confidence that the insurance policy they advised me to invest in would take good care of me.

Response from the owner: Paul - we couldn't be more grateful of the kind words, but even more important is the trust you have in us to advise and service when your family needs it most! Let us know if we can do anything else for you!
