“My experience w/McGriff-Williams in securing my new homeowners insurance EXCEEDED my expectations in every way! I was so blessed when  my friend Terry referred me to agent Michelle Taber to assist me in finding a new policy after I was cancelled by Olympus due to having an old roof. I didnt know where to turn or what to do next. Working with Michelle was so AWESOME...she is truly a valuable asset to your company. She put me at ease...so knowledgeable, answered all my questions so promptly and completely - I could feel in her every communication how much she cared! In todays world of experiencing poor customer service too often, it was such a blessing to have Michelle on my team. Im very happy to be a new client and would not hesitate to refer you in the future! Thank you! Judie MacDonald”

Sales agent Jessica Davis was super-savvy in customizing coverage to suit my exact needs. Exchanges of written communication were rapid and inclusive, as were followups. Insurance-shopping isnt on my list of joys, but these folks are absolutely delightful to work with. Mack Williams & Company get a hearty A+ recommendation from me.

Superior customer service. Lee Ferinden worked so hard for my wife and I this week. We had a closing that happened in a compressed time frame. Lee held our hand through the entire process assuring we understood exactly what we needed. She was always courteous and friendly despite the numerous contacts it took to resolve the issues. Mcgriff-Williams has a real gem in Lee Ferinden!

Jessica Davis did a marvelous job finding a new homeowners insurance for less cost and more coverage than my current policy (the previous one had jacked up the price AGAIN).

I worked with Lee Ferinden at McGriff-Williams Insurance to secure a home insurance policy for my new home in Florida. She went out of her way to make sure the policy was in place for the closing. Thanks Lee for all your hard work. You helped to make this transition to FL much simpler.

Yes, I had a great experience working with Lee, who is very nice and kind, she answered my inquiries promptly, and helped me greatly in securing my home insurance. Im a first time home owner, and Lee helped me going through the process with confidence and a peace of mind--thats what insurance for, right? Lee is very informative and understanding, and helped me save a lot in my insurance policy. I certainly will come back for other insurance needs and will recommend her service to friends and colleagues.

First time working with McGriff-Williams. I called looking for Condo Insurance. Austin Williams was my contact. After a few questions Austin emailed me a quote with some assumptions on coverage and contents. The assumptions were very close to what I was looking for. Great job by Austin. Completed the transaction within the next 2 days all through email and phone.

When I wanted to change carriers for my automobile insurance, I called McGriff-Williams Insurance and spoke with Jessica Davis about comparable coverage. She quoted me coverage with one of their many carriers, and even made a few money saving suggestions to improve my savings. I love having a local agent just a phone call away! Ive had my homeowners insurance with them since moving to the area in 2017. Ill stay with them as long as theyre here! Smart, confident, knowledgeable, and friendly service will always make me happy!

I came in without an appointment and asked a bunch of questions about housing and auto insurance. They made recommendations and answered all of them. I went to another insurance business, and they said it was a solid plan and couldn’t offer anything better. I ended up saving money on my auto by bundling it with my house. The location is convenient and well decorated. I’m confident I can pop in or call with any questions.

I met, worked with, and purchased insurance from 300 miles away by telephone and email over about 3 days. I had done a comparison chart so I knew what I wanted and how much I wanted to pay. Lee listened, recommended, and negotiated to an excellent result for both of us. Thank you!

Review №31

My experience with McGriff-Williams has been excellent. When I first inquired for a quote, I received quick feedback and was immediately put in connection with an agent, Lee Ferinden. From there, Lee serviced all of my requests kindly and quickly, and she provided thorough explanations for all questions that I posed about the insurance-buying process. Her help led me to feel confident as a first time insurance buyer, and she made the whole process enjoyable as well. Moreover, the quote that Lee offered was indeed the best value among numerous other quotes that I obtained. While I cannot yet say how McGriff-Williams performs with more advanced quote requests than my own, or how they handle claims, they have only impressed me so far, and I highly recommend them to any insurance buyer in the Gainesville area.

The first time I went to McGriff-Williams, it was without an appointment. My wait was less than a minute when Lee Ferinden came out of her office and greeted me. After accessing my requirements she had 4 options for me, one of which fit my needs perfectly. She provided prompt, personal and professional service. I will recommend her to my family and friends.

I have been a customer of McGriff Williams for years both personally and professionally. They are knowledgeable in non-profits, home owners and health insurance and genuinely care about what is best for the customer and are always there to help and answer questions. They have many carriers to match you with the best policy. I have happily recommended them in the past and will continue to do so.

I would highly recommend McGriff-Williams Insurance. I worked with Austin Williams, he is not only a pleasure to work with, but he really went the distance for us. We had a very drawn out closing for our home (were talking 5 months of delays). Austin was with us the whole way, after each time our signing got pushed back, Austin was on top of it to make sure our homeowners insurance was ready for closing. We cant thank him enough for everything he has done for us, and look forward to working with him in the future.

I randomly called McGriff Williams Insurance company for assistance with obtaining medical insurance. I was greeted on the phone by Dana. We spent several phone calls and conversations together. I appreciated her willingness to do research, ask thoughtful questions, and make several suggestions for insurance options. The next day I went in to see her and she again provided such amazing customer service and was able to provide me with several options from which to choose and actually enroll me while I sat in her office! Thank you Dana, for sharing all of your knowledge and expertise with me in finding me the perfect insurance solution!

Review №48

Due to an issue my daughter was having with FEMA and their request that she purchase flood insurance, I had direct contact with Lee as we went thru the process of an elevation certificate. Lee diligently worked with us and the surveyor and ultimately found an affordable company until we heard from FEMA releasing the property from-the flood zone map. I was so impressed by her customer service that I asked her for a quote for our homeowners policy and 2 autos. The insurance quote was far less than what we were paying. So she is now our agent too. Her customer service and knowledge won us over. I highly recommend her.

Wonderful working with Jade Morgan who has set up my Florida Blue health insurance! Navigating the Healthcare Marketplace can be trying at times but as we say in Gator Country, she put forth relentless effort to solve problems and email responses were just hours away. She is knowledgeable. patient and kind and the entire company very professional.

I love McGriff Williams, I always feel well taken care of when working with them. We have used them for multiple home policies, auto policies, travel trailer policy, health insurance guidance, and life insurance. The agents go out of their way to find you the best policy for your budget and needs. Everyone there is so professional and knowledgable and really gets to know their customers. I will always continue to recommend this company. They make you feel like family.

We were referred to Bryan Williams at McGriff-Williams Insurance for homeowners insurance for our first home. Bryan was super helpful every step of the way. He is professional, friendly, laid back and very easy to work with. The whole experience could not have gone more smoothly. He will be the first place we turn for future insurance needs and we will not hesitate to refer friends and family to him.

First time home buyers and Austin really helped us a lot! He made the whole process very easy and was accommodating to what we wanted for our home. We talked on the phone and he immediately sent over estimates whereas when I spoke with an agent at Darr Schackow I sent him all of the information and they didnt send an estimate. Im not sure if they just forgot or what but I appreciated Austins attentiveness.

Do yourself a favor by getting a knowledgeable insurance agent. Better yet, get McGriff-Williams. I was paying an incredibly high premium for a single car with my previous carrier bur never cared to get a quote from a different one. It wasnt until I started working with insurance that I understood the type of protection I needed and wasnt getting even though I was paying lots of money. So I called McGriff-Williams and had Bryan Williams as my agent. Unfortunately, the company I wanted to go with wouldnt even insure me due to the low coverage limits I was carrying, but right before I could get too sad, Bryan offered to find me other options and made sure he jotted down all the things that were essential to me. Almost immediately he put together a great package for me with better coverage, lower deductibles, and still saving me over $200 per policy period. Folks, I didnt do this for a long time out of laziness thinking it would be an ordeal to switch insurance, and I now regret not doing much sooner. I had been hearing great things about this agency for a while, and they made the transition so easy and accommodating.

Courtney was a pleasure to work with. She first showed me an apples to apples comparison on ALL of my policies - then took the time to explain to me where we could tweak the coverage. By comparing and ultimately switching my Auto, Motorcycle, Boat and homeowners policies from State Farm and Tower Hill to Progressive and Nationwide (thru McGriff/Williams), Courtney was able to save me more than $600.00 per year!

McGriff ins co. has been my agency since 2004. Their professionalism and attentativeness has always been exemplory. Its obvious that I cant spell, but I can most definitely highly recommend this agency for all your insurance needs. My most recent assistance for medicare supp. ins. Travis was there to talk with me and explain many different plans, and helped me to select the best plan for my individual needs. Thank you Travis and the team McGriff for everything.

Review №72

Update: After being contacted personally by Mr. Lee McGriff, we have changed our rating from one star to three stars. He took our concerns very seriously and we have decided to renew our policy with them in the hopes that in the future, they will work harder for us .We have decided not to renew our home owner policy. Every year since we have been with McGriff-Williams since 2012, we have experienced a substantial rate increase. In 5 years with no claims, my policy has increased more than 50%. Every year I have asked if anything could be done, and was told that the only thing I could do was pay more money to have a wind mitigation inspection. Well this year I decided, not to trust McGriff-Williams and checked with another agency and got a comparable policy for $852 with an A rated company verses their $1409 policy. I am betting they could have quoted me with less expensive companies all the previous years I requested assistance. SHAME ON THEM!!!!!!!!!
