Thanks again for having the right people for the job!“

“Saved Us Hundreds”
"Cindy Dotson saved us hundreds of dollars on our business policies. In addition, each year she looks for the best price for my company. Last year she saved us addition money by going the extra mile. If I ever have any questions she is more then happy to help and gets back to me within the hour. The audit process is also easier. Highly recommend her!"

— Julia Theisen

“Saved Money, Better Coverage”
“My fiancé and I dealt with Ryan Bastian during our search for insurance. We were in the middle of closing on our home and needed home insurance stat! He was so incredibly professional and handled us with much care. He was quick and efficient in searching for the best deal! During his search, he also found auto insurance quotes that not only saved us money, but offered better coverage than your current auto insurance at that time. He was by far one of the BEST that I've had the pleasure in working with. Highly recommend him!“

— Amber Gorman

“Ryan has been super helpful in the transition of switching our home & auto policies. He's super responsive (even on the weekends!) and of course him saving us $70/month was amazing too! If you're looking to switch insurance companies, reach out to Ryan. He went above and beyond what I was expecting. 10/10 would recommend! “

— Krystal Rusnak

“Excellent Insurance”
“Lucy is always so helpful with anything that comes up, from windshield cracks, to rental cars, and even an accident. She has become family to us. I can count on her to always help me keep our monthly payment within our budget too. I can't imagine ever dealing with another insurance company. If you are looking for an excellent insurance company (who will always have your back), that will always feel like family, this is your office!“

— Jennie Addington Woods

“Helpful & Informative”
“My agent, Sully, could not have been more helpful and informative in helping me through this process.

I will be recommending Rick Gerety and Associates to all my friends and family in the future. Thanks again! “

— Ryan Lewis

“Cindy Dotson is the best! She worked hard to save my business a LOT of money on our insurance package while maintaining the needed level of coverage. So glad I switched and get to work with Cindy!“

— Susan Moscareillo

“Service is Unparalleled”
“As a small business owner, there is nothing more important than having an insurance company that you can rely on. Not only are the rates competitive, but the quality of service is unparalleled. Rick sits with us each year to make the necessary adjustments to our policies based on the changing needs of the business. In addition, Rick and his team are very responsive to any and all questions/requests we have throughout the year.“

— Bill Street

“Impressed”
“Cindy Dotson was very helpful in providing us with an extremely competitive quote. There were issues related to a specific aspect of our coverage and Cindy just kept at it for several weeks of back and forth with the underwriters until we were able to come to an mutually acceptable agreement. I was so impressed with her dogged determination that I signed on the dotted line at the initial presentation of the quote. I feel that if Cindy was willing to work that hard to get our business, that she'll continue to work hard to keep it.“

— Greg Kilduff

“The Absolute Best”
“Cindy is the absolute best. I’ve been with her for four years now and would not have been able to get through the first year of my business without her. She is extremely knowledgeable and guides you in such a caring way you know you are in good hands. She always goes above and beyond and double checks everything for you. It’s great to know that I never have to worry about this side of my business because she has it covered.“

— Lisa Lonabaugh
