Im currently a representative in TN, and just have to give kudos to this office! A client of ours moved to the cedar rapids area and Molly has been fantastic! If youre moving from out of State to the Cedar Rapids area, this is the place you need to be at!

Hands down the best insurance agency in the area! I was fortunate to work with Matt Kolln to get a variety of insurances bundled and complete coverage for my wife and I. It was such a simple and easy process where I felt like my best interests were being thought of first.I have worked with other insurance companies in the past but this office is by far the best that I have been with.I wont ever work with anyone other than Matt from here on out!

Very busy but very helpful. Not so happy with their Drive Safe and Save program. I understand theyre working on it but I would not recommend it at this time.Doug asked me to reconsider my review. If State Farm would compensate me for the discount I was promised (and earned) I would be happy to communicate that. Unfortunately, that hasnt happened.

Ive been with State Farm for 10 years plus no claims. Someone else starts a fire in our condo units in 2019. Two years later I receive a letter telling me they are dropping me from my home owners insurance. They take your money for years and one claim they let you go.They will be losing me on all my other insurance plans I have with them .

Following the August derecho, we submitted claims related to our condo and one of our vehicles. We received great support from the Valentine agency and from State Farm Claims staff. The details were handled professionally and payments were processed promptly.Thanks for always being there for our family.

Doug and his team are ALWAYS kind, listen, and empathetic to our needs. Everyone makes sure they treat you with dignity and respect. I want to make sure people know how wonderful they are and insightful and professional at every thing they do. I am beyond Amazed because most companies don’t treat you like family but a number and I can honestly say they do not. Thanks Doug and your Wonderful team.

I have worked with Dougs office a couple of times and directly with Doug on a few occasions, the last one in regards to my claims from the Derecho storm. The team, and especially Doug have proven to be professional and diligent in making sure I recieved what I am paying for. I am happy to say that I have State Farm Insurance provided and supported by the Doug Valentine Office!Thank you again Doug and team,Will Harreld

Austin was very helpful, professional, answered all my questions and addressed my concerns, and Ben got me a better rate on my homeowners! (Auto too, which is why I switched) He made the entire process super easy and non stressful-Cindy Corkhill

Doug has been great to work with overcthe past several years. State Farm has handled every claim weve had very quickly with no issues. Never felt pressured and theyve been great to help save money.

Doug is the Consummate Con-Man He went on and on tell my Wife and myself how must better it is to have a local agent down the street, rather than having to communicate via a 1-800 number with the company we were currently with. And that state farm would have done a much better payout on a vehicle which was previously totaled . We listened and sadly went with state farm. After the derecho, another one of our vehicles was damaged..took it to dougs office, one of his associates filed a claim, we thought, and we went to a body shop...another car totaled..I called dougs office to talk to the individual who had filed the claim..guess what? One was never filed..had to start all over with a new individual. A few days later I get a call from State Farm corporate giving me a dollar amount to come and get the car, and that they would make arrangements to pick it up...I said Wait I never said I was giving up the car, it is drivable..Oh the lady said, well I am showing that you owe a lien on it...I informed her that the car, a 2008 had been payed off in 2013, and that she had to check with the previous lien holder showing it was clear, she said No I have to produce the title.....Yet another trip over to dougs office so they could make a copy of My title. I then got a call from corporate saying that they will issue a check, which was a pittance in comparison to the cars value...so much for state farm doing better than our last company...10 days go by, no check....I call dougs office, or try too..kept getting voice mail..no one would answer the phone...I finaly talk to 2 differnt people who have no idea about my claim, or what I want..By this time heated words were exchanged, oh, after getting hung up on 3 times prior to heated words......My Wife then called told them that to wait 19 days for a check that was supposidly mailed is unacceptable, and then was then told they would write the check from their office if she would pick it up. She goes to the office, and the 4 morons there start talking about the fact that the car in question had been turned in to state farm...MY wife lost her cool and asked how simply must it be explained to you idiots that the car is in our driveway. perfectly usuable and that we had NEVER considered turning it over, and does no one in the office note any events/happenings in customers accounts??????????We have since switched insurance companies...bottom line, doug valentine will promise and tell you anything to get your business....and then dissappears....The office staff he hires dont have the common sense of an average 12 yrs old. If you value your property and sanity DO NOT do business with him or state farm

Weve been a customer of Doug for over a decade. When storms hit our home, he and his team were responsive, thorough, caring, and reliable. When youve been through a disaster, communication is key to recovery. Doug and his team not only got us the resources we needed, but also made sure that they communicated with us so that we knew where the process was at. Great job, Doug, team and State Farm!

Molly Kimbro is an outstanding agent! I had just moved back to Iowa at the end of February and was needing auto and renters insurance. I saw all the positive reviews for this office and decided to walk in two days before signing my new lease. I was enthusiastically greeted by Molly and Doug and felt welcome and relaxed the entire time. Not only did Molly reduce my auto insurance premium, she also increased my coverage!Not only does this office care about its customers, they care about each other too. Doug stopped in several times to check on the progress we were making. It was very obvious that Doug cares about customers and his coworkers equally.I will be visiting with Molly and the staff in a few days to discuss my life insurance and see what they can offer. I know Ill receive the same outstanding service again! Thanks to all of the staff at Doug Valentine and keep up the great work!

Feeling detached from our insurance agent and that we were no longer getting the best deal, we switched to State Farm in 2015 and have no regrets about that decision. The Doug Valentine team is an outstanding group of people that always puts your interests first, never pressuring you to buy more insurance than you actually need. They will give you the best options, explain what it all means, and how it benefits you and keeps you safe from unforeseen circumstances. When I was dealing with a claim settlement, Doug personally called me and asked how he could help and guided me through the process and what to expect, and left the door open to call him if I have any questions. I dont know many agents who would ever do that. We are blessed to be part of the Doug Valentine State Farm family.

Sue went above and beyond to help with an accident claim process. We so appreciated her assistance and expertise that she provided. She was calm and stayed on top of it for us. We call that 5 star service and Doug Valentine and State Farm are lucky to have her! Thank you Sue!!!

Mitch King made my transition from IL, back to IA, seamless. He worked directly with my previous agent to ensure there was not a gap in my coverage and ensure that I was covered based on my current needs. I would highly recommend this office and specifically Mitch King. Thank you!

Review №21

I worked with Vaughn to get all my insurances figured out. I had stuff through another firm (that I thought was good) but I hadn’t reviewed it in forever... I was completely underinsured on a few things and he pointed out the need for an umbrella policy which I think everybody should own... Vaughn did a great job explaining why my current policies weren’t as competitive as theirs without making me feel like I made a bad purchase. 5 star service!Adam

Moved our son to Cedar Rapids this past weekend and needed to get renters insurance. My son and I met with Mitch King to get signed up. Mitch and the other Doug Valentine State Farm agents (had a chance to meet Vaughn Takes) and office staff were nothing but EXCEPTIONAL! This is one office that really knows how to convey a smile over the phone. Mitch was able to quickly get the insurance taken care of but also recommend additional savings. Doug has a great team and I know my son will be taken care of. A no worries, Dad.

Doug Valentine has been my agent with State Farm for many years. Doug has been great in going over coverage with me regularly; but even more than that, he has filled his office with competent and congenial colleagues.Whether you visit the office or contact them by phone, Sue will greet you and can often answer your question; otherwise, she will get you in touch with an agent promptly. Your questions will be answered in a timely and thorough manner. With a house and two cars insured with this State Farm agency, I feel very comfortable that my needs are addressed professionally and in a timely manner. My most recent experience was with a small claim on a car repair. From first visit to repair appointment was a five day experience. Its nice to be respectfully treated as an individual!

Jack my rates up more than twice my normal rates, no DWI,s ,,clean record. The one star is more than I wanted to give. I cant give them less than that. If I could I would give them a minus 9 and a 3 quarter.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Mitch and Doug at State Farm. They started helping me before my husband passed and have been invaluable to me now that he is gone. Their expertise, knowledge, and care have helped me at a time when I was at a loss on what to do next. They take a personal interest in their clients and when they say they are there to help they really mean it...Mitch even helped me figure out my new iPhone! I cant recommend these guys enough. Five stars to be sure.

Best customer care I have received from an insurance company yet. I talked to Mitch who answered the phone about auto advice for an hour. He did not have to talk to me about this but wanted to help out as much as he could (and just was a great listener when I was unsure of what to do). Definitely would recommend doing business with them. Always professional and caring! Great rates and coverage I might add as well.

Doug and his staff have always been friendly and helpful whenever I have needed them. My recent experience has made me a State Farm customer for life. I made an error in sending a large payment meant for State Farm Bank to State Farm Insurance. Dave May went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty to track down and correct MY mistake. The professionalism, kindness and immediate response I received was first rate.

I have trusted Ben Wiemerslage, Doug Valentine and State Farm with my Auto Insurance for the past 5 years. In making the change, Ben took care of everything and advised certain coverage that would make more sense versus what we had. The transition and on-going relationship has been smooth and personable. Ben is not just my agent, he is considered a friend.
