He not only helped us with our insurance needs for the business but our personal home insurance as well. He was beyond helpful in answering any questions and was actually able to help us find a plan which will save us money. We truly appreciate this company. read less

I had a great experience, thank you Antone Saltvick! He’s amazing and helped me find a good deal for auto insurance! I highly recommend!

We recently moved to Gig Harbor from California. Antone Saltvick has been extremely helpful in making sure all of our insurance needs have been covered.

Amy Haugen is so wonderful to work with, she is easy to get ahold of and very prompt in her responses. She even reshoped my insurance this year and saved me over $1,000!

It's obvious it's not all about him making money on a policy as he puts time into getting to know you and your needs as a client. I highly recommend him and have referred him many friends and family members. Kevin is an amazing guy. read less

He told us he could help with all our insurance problems, from invoicing to coverage. Being skeptical of the promise, I challenged him to fix one very large problem with a supplemental insurance company. Not only was Larry Carlson able to solve our major issues with the carriers, he was able to get our medium size company better coverage at a greatly reduced rate. I would strongly encourage any company that would like to save money on their insurance costs to have Larry review their existing plan.

He remains responsive and proactive and has never yielded in his pursuit of improving my plans. He has not only repeatedly improved my rates but he has been unwavering in his tolerance of my excessive questions. I don’t quite understand everything and Kevin has always ensured I am fully appraised of my plans and how they benefit me. I will be a lifelong customer and have recommended the majority of my family as I wouldn’t stand for them not experiencing the same care and quality. I value nothing more than a reliable and trustworthy advocate In the protection of what I’ve worked so hard for. Kevin is undeniably, exactly that. read less

I have found that having a single “expert” who can provide comprehensive strategy and support for home, auto, life, umbrella and more has proved incredibly valuable. I feel that my family is better protected and the amount of time and energy I need to spend coordinating the different elements of insurance dramatically decreased when I came to Kevin. He is a true expert who delivers outstanding service each time I need him. I feel lucky to have him as an agent and recommend him to anyone in need of insurance! Truly first class! read less

I was faced with one of my life insurances ending and they were going to charge me a quadruple monthly fee to continue.

This situation required me to use the state health care site that she is not allowed work with. This did not deter her from assisting me to navigate the frustrating State system. She was extremely helpful and professional in her assistance. She went above and beyond in providing guidance to include additional research to ensure her advice was correct. I appreciate her professionalism and will gladly refer her to anyone who is looking for health insurance help. If you want health care assistance, I highly recommend that you give her a call.

Larry Carlson is the first broker that takes the time to form relationships. I'm a firm believer that one of the most valuable things we give to each other is our time. Larry routinely takes the time to call, and just check in. Our conversations usually begins with,
"is there anything I can do to help with.." Frankly, this isn't necessary as our business is completed during our open enrollment period. In short, Larry cares about people. I truly believe, he has our best interest at heart. read less
