"I have to give 5 stars to Steve and his staff. They run the most helpful insurance office I’ve ever been exposed to. I’ve been with them many years; it’s been close to 20 years. They are never bothered when I’m asking for services requested by other companies. When I had my business I needed to keep going back to them for the COI, because the owners couldn’t get it together enough to provide the correct info to ask for. Steve never let on that I was bothering him. He seemed to understand the unspoken. He took care of the problem like a champ. That’s why I stay."
We responded:
"Hi Joyce - thanks for such a nice review. You have never been a bother, always good to hear from you. Thanks for being a part of our office for so many years. - Steve"

"Steve & his team are great - always super responsive whenever I have questions (which seems to be often!). Today I called with some very specific questions for a friend who lives in a condo and Yolanda was really great about taking the time to help me understand what coverage was needed and what was probably not necessary. She even went so far as to give me a real-life example from one of her family members, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated."
We responded:
"Hi Valerie - Thanks for such a nice review. Questions are always welcome!!! - Steve"

"Very helpful and friendly folks. When I was traveling and did not pick up my mail for a few weeks, they emailed to warn me that my policy was close to lapsing. Whew! That was MUCH appreciated."
We responded:

"Insurance is expensive these days - whoa! I have a bunch of policies with State Farm through Steve Bauer and despite the cost I'm glad I'm covered. Yolanda, Steve and especially Jose Luis are especially helpful. He's quick to update my list of insured equipment and to issue Certificates of Liability Insurance for venues I work with. I'm very glad to have their team working with me."
We responded:
"Hi Alain - Thanks for the kind review. Hope you are doing great and glad Jose Luis is taking good care of you. - Steve"

I am grateful for having had such a reliable, competent, and kind insurance agent. She is one of the main reasons I stick with State Farm."

"My friend recommended State Farm in Berkeley when I was comparing auto insurance.Yolanda was quick to help and patiently explained the itemized coverages in a new family plan to include my college aged son.She offered a lower quote than my current insurance which I have had since 2006."
We responded:
"Hi Kwokfan - Thanks for contacting our office for insurance and thanks for writing such a nice review. Glad Yolanda helped you get the coverage you were looking for and able to do it at a lower cost. Let us know if we can help you with anything in the future. - Steve"

"We've been clients of State Farm for 20+ years. Yolanda Hill has provided us reassuring support with regard to coverage questions and claims (auto or home). Insurance can be complicated and especially confusing when a family member has experienced a loss or been involved in an accident. Our concerns are put to rest -- after speaking to Yolanda."
We responded:
"Hi Marie - Thanks for such a nice review and for being a part of our office for so many years. Yolanda does a great job - glad she continues to take good care of you. - Steve"

"I was a bit "cross" when I called earlier today because I THOUGHT I did not receive the refund on my CA auto insurance that was due to me after I purchased auto insurance in AZ. Yolanda Hill was, none the less, very helpful and polite when dealing with an annoyed customer. She did the research, called me back and gave the date and amount of the refund check. I was embarrassed to discover that the check was, indeed cashed and deposited to my account. Heads up to Yolanda for defusing the situation and getting the issue resolved."
We responded:
"Hi Gary - Thanks for posting the review. I'm glad Yolanda was there to confirm things for you. Let us know if we can help with anything anytime. - Steve"

"I have had Steve Bauer's State Farm practice for auto and home insurance for decades, and find this branch to be excellent. One of the aspects of this office that I appreciate the most is the staff, especially Yolanda who I've known the longest, who has gone above and beyond to be responsive to and prioritize my requests when they are time sensitive. Thank you, Yolanda, Linda and Steve!"
We responded:
"Hi Christina - Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. Thanks also for being a part of our office for all these years. Yolanda does a great job; very happy she has been a part of our office for over 24 years. - Steve"

"Steve and his team are definitely my favorite insurance agents I've ever had the pleasure to work with. For the past 2 years I've worked with them (I no longer live in California), they tirelessly served me and answered any and all of my questions in a timely manner and always found a solution that prioritizes my interest. For instance, I had to put my car in storage for 5 months when I was abroad, Steve immeditaely adjusted my insurance to ensure I am only paying the minimal required rate in accordance to California law. When I was making a cross country drive prior to moving to California (I had just signed my lease, and I had no previous California insurnace). His team stayed in touch with me and got me coverage. I had a busted tire in Arizona, and they made sure I had insurnace coverage before I started driving and was covered for the towing service. Basically, you cannot go wrong with them. I truly enjoyed working with them and would definitely use their service again if I were to move back to California."
We responded:
"Hi Hebing - Thank you for this very nice review. You will be missed. Best of luck with everything you do. - Steve"

"I have had my insurance with Steve Bauer's State Farm office for more than 20 years. Every single interaction over the past two decades has been a joy! What caring, kind, wonderful staff - always a delight to work with! And the two times I had auto claims, they handled the matter so professionally and carefully - it made the entire process simple and easy for me. I highly recommend this team!"

"A couple of weeks ago a rock hit my windshield and it spread across sooo fast. I was almost afraid to drive my car. I called State farm to see what I should do in this case. Yolanda was on it! She immediately put a claim in and I swear, it was 2.5 seconds later and the mobile windshield company was calling me to schedule a date and time to come repair it. Yolanda has always taken care of me and my family in time of need. I've been with them for 20 + years and they never disappoint! She's truly good at what she does. She is definitely an asset to the company! Thank you for making this situation as painless as possible! This is why I'll never change my insurance company. 🥰"
We responded:
"Hi Andrea - Thanks so much for the very kind review. Yolanda works hard to take care of everyone. Sorry about your windshield, glad Yolanda helped to get it fixed quickly. - Steve"
