Great service
May 20, 2024

We were very happy with the assistance we received from Brandi. She was quick to respond to every question and pleasant to deal with. We needed to secure coverage by a deadline, and Brandi made sure that we were able to make it. Highly recommended.

After my insurance carrier left the state I was stuck buying state insurance through California. It was Expensive and miserable with terrible customer service …so I started looking for a new carrier after being with my new carrier for only a few months. A friend of mine recommended Bamboo. I was happy to see that we have an insurance carrier here in California that is Local to California. My representative Cooper was helpful, kind, easy and Facilitated my exchange quickly. What a relief it is to not be stressed out over my hazard account.

Change of insurance carrier
April 14, 2024

Bamboo insurance notified us that our homeowner's insurance policy will be cancelled due to the fact that the insurance company no longer covers our area. They found similar insurance in coverage and price. It was very smooth and easy.

BAMM- on it!
March 29, 2024

My insurance agent Noah went above and WAY beyond to get me insured. Farmers insurance dropped us because we live in the California mountains. I couldn't find anyone to insure us. Noah set me up that same day. Helped me with California fire insurance and DIC insurance. He worked late on a Sunday to help us. Who does that anymore? Bamboo does! I see Noah as a part of the family now.

My homeowner insurance search
March 25, 2024

After falling victim to the California insurance company exodus I found myself in need of insurance with no time to spare. Thanks to Mark Coleman and Bamboo Insurance my problem was solved. Mark quickly handled the paperwork and provided two very resasonable quotes. I subsequently obtained a policy and the pressure is off!

As we received a notice of non-renewal from our previous carrier due to no fault of our own, the pressure to find a way to insure our home was a bit overwhelming.

Not only, did Noah Larsen, our Sales Support Advocate, explain things in a clear and concise manner, he made suggestions that helped alleviate the stress of navigating these difficult waters and made sure our home is covered both through the California Fair Plan as well as the Difference in Coverage policy with Bamboo.

His ongoing communication through the entire process, even after the policies have been written has been exceptional.

Steven Siffort Saves The Day!
February 15, 2024

After attempting for over a week to change my $8,000 California Fair Plan Policy to monthly installments & dealing with 4 other agents who not only failed to make the change but never followed up with phone calls or emails, the deadline for changing the payments before my policy expired, came & went. Steven not only managed to make the change for me, despite the deadline, he was able to post my first payments same day which I was told was impossible by agents at CFP when I contacted them directly. I am so grateful to Steven for turning what was the most frustrating customer service I have ever experienced into a saving grace. So grateful to him for potentially saving me from what could have become financial crisis. Thanks, Steven!
