"Save Money On My Home And Auto"

“I was shopping around to save money on my home and auto and my experience with Gerety was fantastic. Chris is my agent and he was very prompt reaching out and took the time to explain each policy with me. He outlined pros and cons of multiple different options and really went above and beyond to make sure I got the right policy. Great service and highly recommended.“

— Andrew Bodt

“Saved Me A Good Amount Of Money”

"My auto insurance rates were set to increase and before I could even call to find out about switching companies, they let me know I was on a list to be shopped around. Super helpful throughout the whole process and saved me a good amount of money. Highly recommended."

—Alex Gram

“Saved Us Money And Addressed Our Actual Business Needs”
“We switched from a larger agency who wasn't looking out for us. Cindy Dotson has taken great care of us from the beginning, saved us money and addressed our actual business needs rather than trying to sell us add-ons we didn't need. We are preparing for our first renewal and I can't be happier. Gerety is responsive and in tune to our needs as a mid-sized contractor. Highly recommend them.“

— Laura Layte

“Very Responsive To My Questions And Shifting Needs.”
“Jaime worked hard to find a less expensive replacement auto insurance policy for me and was flexible and very responsive to my questions and shifting needs. Thanks Jaime!"

— Andrea Gillespie

“Very Personable”

“Chris Baur with Gerety Insurance was super easy to work with. He found the policy that was the right fit for us and tailored coverage options so they weren't too small or large for that category. I was also able to refer friends to him that ended up making the switch too! He is also very personable and doesn't give you the typical "insurance agent" vibe.“

— Allison Mosley

“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.

It’s great to know that I never have to worry about this side of my business because she has it covered.“
