It was very nice to reach out to Jacki and her colleagues and through their vast experience and knowledge they were able to put together an insurance package that pertained to me and my businesses needs.

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.

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.
