Someone is always available to answer my questions when you are open. And always so pleasant!
Customer Since 9/5/2019

Customer Since 4/28/2014

Ramie Balen (my agent with Empire) exceeded my expectations. She was very personable and took the
time to understand my specific insurance needs and ensure the correct coverage. Ramie was also quick
to answer questions and return phone calls. I sensed she understands the value of building relationships
with prospective clients. Unlike my experience with other insurance companies where I left feeling
viewed as a case number, Ramie took the time to listen and came across as caring and committed to
helping me secure the best policy possible. l intend to recommend Empire Insurance to other
professionals having similar insurance needs.

and we still remember that.
Customer Since 3/8/2022

You found comprehensive insurance for me after my old insurer ended coverage in California. Your
office is responsive and timely when I have questions. I refer people to you.
Customer Since 1/16/2019

Insurance can be daunting. And we have a lot of rental properties, so it seems like insurance questions
come up continuously. Since we have had our insurance through you, all we have to do is call you and
then you deal with the insurance companies. That is such a relief! Also, we love the idea that you look
over a lot of different companies and choose the best ones for our situations.
Forrest Greek and Valorie McLaughlin, husband and wife.

Customer Since 4/8/2019

You, Adam, and your team, are prompt, courteous and friendly. More than that, I don't think I've ever
had a phone call go to voicemail or an email not answered the same day. As someone who deals with
businesses frequently, I'm impressed by the response.
Customer Since 1/30/2020

When our homeowner's policy came up for renewal, the pricing jumped horribly. One call to Adam at
Empire Independent Insurance Agency was all it took. Adam found us another insurer with more
reasonable pricing within a day or two. We couldn't be happier with the service we get from Empire
Independent Insurance Agency. All the staff are wonderful to work with! We highly recommend them
for all your insurance needs.
Victoria H., Customer Since 3/2/2015

Great customer service and you guys find the best prices.
Jon H., Customer Since 5/19/2021

We have been with Empire Insurance for quite a while now. Adam and his team have been amazing...
When our son was in a car accident we called Adam and he told us exactly what to do. It was very
comforting to us to know he was available to ask questions. Adam has researched all homeowner
insurance options to help us get the most cost-effective comprehensive coverage. We would
recommend Adam and his team at Empire Insurance for any insurance needs.

Customer Since 11/8/2017

I love the Empire Team! What I love most about the team is that they grow with you and treat you like
you're part of the family! I've been a customer with them since 2015! They started with my auto
insurance and when I bought my 1st home, of course I went back to them! They're all super friendly and
always available to help. They respond within a reasonable time frame and always treat you like you're
the MOST important client even though you know they have a bunch of other people they help as well!
Adam is also very forthright! He will let me know if he can't beat the quote or if the quote given is not
proper coverage. I always feel safe and properly covered after going over the policies with him. Anytime
someone is looking for car or home insurance, I always refer them to Empire Insurance! They are my go
to team!
Jessenia R., Customer Since N/A

Gary W., Customer Since 5/13/2014

Adam Raymond has many years of experience in the insurance industry. For nearly 30 years, I have
