You know those people whose energy and enthusiasm are contagious?The ones that brighten your day and put a smile on your face when youre feeling down or just ho-hum? Jennifer in Marsha Veenstras office is one of those people. Ive had the pleasure of working with her on several occasions now and I always feel better about myself and the day ahead after I hang up the phone. I can tell she cares deeply about her customers and shes willing to put extra time in to make sure everything is just right. I cant say enough about her and if I lived in Michigan, you can bet shed be handling my insurance and financial needs.- Ryan Stevens, State Farm Agent (CA)

I was prepared to switch to State Farm through your office until my last interaction with Michael Tran. I had mentioned to him that I needed to get all my info from my current homeowners policy to compare. We spoke on Monday and he immediately chastised me for missing a scheduled phone appointment. I am unsure if we had an appointment or not. Once we began our conversation and I asked additional questions, he became agitated and quite rude stating that he had emailed me all that I needed and even to the point of telling me exactly when he sent it. I understand he may have emailed me however; I was confused over a life insurance quote that was sent that I do not recall discussing. I was initially interested in auto insurance. When I asked he raised his voice and argued that we did discuss life insurance. Again, all I was attempting to do was get clarification on a few questions and he was more interested in making sure I knew he was right and that I needed to validate that he has already given me the info. He continued to push almost in a bullying manner and I was quite shocked over this behavior. I will not be doing business with this office and will be sharing my experience with anyone who asks.

Marsha has been our agent for many years. Reliable, fair, and has provided us with great service. Weve had a few claims over the years that have always been handled very fairly. Highly recommended.

Mike Tran was extremely helpful. Walked me through everything and left nothing unexplained all while saving me money! Even helped cancel my other policy once we had everything else figured out.

Marc and the whole team were great! My wife was in a car accident on New Years day and they helped us through the entire claims process. We were so impressed we decided to finally purchase life insurance and Marc explained all our options and helped us find the amount of coverage we needed and could afford. We also saved over $100 a year by switching our home insurance to State Farm, and again everything was explained wonderfully and I feel very confident that the most important things to me are protected for years. I would send anyone I know who is looking for peace of mind to the team at State Farm!

Marc helped my wife and I adjust our life insurance plans to our place in life. He provided the information we needed to decide what to do, answered our questions, and let us decide on our schedule. Marsha, and now Marc, along with the rest of the agency staff are great. Marsha has been our insurance agent for almost 30 years!

Marsha and Mike were great to work with! I work for another large personal lines insurance company, and was pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it was to bind coverage, sign documents, and receive my proof of insurance! Thanks Marsha and Mike!!

Im so happy I switched back to State Farm! Marc is always fast to respond to questions and requests for service. It is so nice to be able to send an email and get a fast and complete response instead of calling an 800-number, waiting on hold and speaking to someone different each time. I will be a long time customer of this office!

If youre looking for insurance you should give Marsha a call. She and her staff are very well versed in a variety insurance and financial services products. If you have a current insurance guy that you think is great...you should use this office as a comparison. You will be surprised how much these people know! I was pleasantly surprised for sure...

Started working with Marc Veenstra after my fiancee recommended him to me. I did some rate shopping for an auto policy before switching, and they had the best rates for my auto policy! Marc is great to work with and is always quick to respond!

Ill admit I had no idea about insurance especially when it came to life insurance and liability insurance. I was blissfully sheltered by my parents so it was quite overwhelming when I had to go out and get it myself. The moment I walked in the office I felt welcomed. They took the time to explain all my options and were very patient with me. They gave my a lot of different options that would work for me and my budget and never once did I feel pressured to buy insurance that I didnt need. They are extremely knowledgeable and super friendly, always willing to help when I have a question.I send all my friends and family here and they are just as happy as I am!

Marsha Veenstra and her team are excellent. I am not someone who is familiar with insurance options and how it all works, but Marc went above and beyond to explain every option we needed to make a sound decision that my husband and I were comfortable with. We rely on them for all of our insurance needs. Marc has stayed late past close anytime my husband and I needed to meet after work. Excellent customer service!

I was referred to this office by my sister who had an amazing experience. Personally I hate insurance and I normally think it’s and evil enterprise, however after dealing with this office my perception has changed. These are good people who are professional and take pride in doing an excellent job for their customers. I wish there were more insurance people out there like are in this office.

My wife and I have never been anything but thrilled to deal with Marsha and her team! Her son Mark has been our primary contact and he has been one of the best agents Ive dealt with within State Farm. Always willing to take our calls, has stayed late in the office to meet with us for our needs and definitely goes the extra mile to make sure were taken care of. Would highly recommend to anyone on the fence with their insurance company, keep it up Veenstras!!!

Our experience: They didnt listen, they pushed excessive coverage and then they threatened us with a lawsuit when we wrote a negative review! Do you want to do business with that company? My elderly mother has an inexpensive 2004 car...all she needed was basic coverage. They sold her twice the coverage she needed. For example she told them she had long term care insurance through another company yet they still added that option to her car insurance coverage. They NEVER LISTENED to her! She went in three times saying her insurance was too high and she needed some relief was there anyway that could be done. They could have taken off the long term care, they could have cut her back to the legally-required basic coverage...but they just said, nothing we can do. She finally found another agent that gave her the coverage she NEEDED for HALF the price! He scoffed at the high coverage they had sold her on a car that wasnt worth what she was paying in insurance. And her homeowners insurance was just as bad. They sold her additional insurance should her basement flood, shouldnt that be covered under her already high homeowners policy? They continually went up on her premiums. In my opinion, there are far too many insurance agents to choose from in this area to roll the dice on this crew. If you have elderly parents or dont completely understand what you need I wouldnt trust this crew to guide me through the process.

I was transferred to Marshas office after my former agent retired. EVERY TIME I call for assistance or advice, I receive service above and beyond what I would consider normal. If you are going with State Farm, I highly recommend this office.

We have been clients of Marsha Veenstra’s office for the past 12 years. We stayed with Marsha when we had to move out of state or across the state because we never felt like clients with Marsha, we felt like part of her family. Marsha & her team go above & beyond to take care of those who are entrusted to her care. She’s like a good neighbor... she’s always there. I highly recommend Marsha & her team!

Jennifer Launiere is very thorough and patient in explaining the ins and outs of insurance policies. She has been my agent for years, and does both my home and car insurance policies. I feel like I can always call and get answers to my questions in a timely manner! Excellent customer service!

I have been with Marsha Veenstras office as a client for over 15 years and have been extremely happy with them on every count! Unfortunately, I had to make a claim a few years ago when my finished basement flooded (they suggested I add the rider for my sump pump which I did prior to the flood) and my claim was fully covered because I had that extra rider on my sump pump which failed during the flooding in Grand Rapids a few years back. When I called them about my flood, Jennifer, my agent at that office, had one of their newer clean up and repair companies at my house within 30 minutes! They (John Grace Restoration) were efficient, professional and incredibly nice!I cant say enough how great this State Farm office is! With my busy work schedule, they take the time to make sure I know when payments have been forgotten by me and they also do an annual review of all of my policies to make sure I have the coverage I need without trying to over sell me! I have referred several people to them, including my own daughter, and they are all as pleased with everyone at Marsha Veenstras office as I am. Being a business person, its crucial to LISTEN to the needs of your clients and thats exactly what everyone at this office does! I feel like a member of their family with how well they take care of everything for me. My loyalty will remain with them because of their handling of my policies!If youre looking for a professional insurance office with caring employees who go the extra mile for their clients and have very reasonable rates, then call Marsha Veenstras office! You wont regret it. I havent regretted it for one minute over the last 15 years!

Shortly after getting married, my wife and I needed insurance. We talked to several agents, but eventually committed to Marsha Veenstra.After almost a decade, we view this as one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.In my industry, I constantly interact with insurance agents. Trust me when I say that State Farm, (and Veenstra’s staff in particular), are a ‘Cadillac’ of insurance agencies. Ive never seen an agent show so much concern for the quality of service being delivered to a policy holder.

Review №45

Worst experience possible with Marsha - I never write reviews like this but I cant emphasize enough that I WOULD NOT USE HER. We were advised to get with our agent on a claim due to hail damage with our roof. While the damage occurred 2 / 3 years Marsha stated that a portion would be covered. In addition we talked to 2 others in her office who told us a portion of the roof would be covered. State Farm then sent out a contractor who told us it wasnt hail damage (we have two other roofers and 2 home inspectors who say this is clearly hail damage), it wouldnt be covered (didnt know a contractor is qualified to approve / deny a claim), but that he would be more than willing to work with us under the table (high ethical bar). After my wife complained about this State Farm sent an adjuster out who told us that our policy wouldnt cover the roof and that Marsha and team were wrong (the adjuster called Marsha and Marsha initially claimed she never talked to my wife and it was the fault of one of her employees, actually her son, who she blamed). My wife called Marsha after this and she has yet to return any of our calls (this was 3 weeks ago). We have been loyal State Farm customers for years, we have 3 properties insured with them and all we are getting is the worst customer service and inept or unethical help from our agent and from State Farm.

Earlier this year I switched to State Farm for my car insurance and I couldnt be happier with the customer service I have received from Marsha Veenstras staff. They patiently answered all of my questions and helped me explore various coverage options until we found the package that worked best for me. I definitely plan to continue working with the Marsha Veenstra State Farm team!

Marsha Veenstra provides excellent service for all my insurance needs. I have my car insurance, homeowners insurance, and life insurance policy with Marshas Cascade Michigan office. She is always available for my family and is very knowledgeable for my insurance policy questions. If you are in Cascade or Ada, Michigan and are looking for auto insurance or homeowners insurance- call Marsha Veenstra!
