Rahman Pinckney and Bamboo Insurance
October 31, 2023

My agent, Rahman Pinckney helped me complete the application process in an efficient and professional manner. I would recommend him to anyone else seeking home insurance. As far as the company Bamboo Insurance, this is my first time using them so I don't have any experience yet to comment on.

Rahman Picnkey was Awesome!

Easy sign up process
October 25, 2023

Sign up was very fast and easy. Agent had very good advice on coverages. Overall very good so far. The user website however is very bare minimum and only allows for making payments. You can't see your policy or update anything which is not really acceptable in this day and age. All other companies have these basic features.

Professional and Great Service
October 24, 2023

I switched over to Bamboo and Ca Fair Plan with the help of Jay Vallone. He answered all of my questions and was extremely patient and professional while I weighed my options. Once I decided on Bamboo and Ca Fair Plan, he made the policy transition smooth and comfortable. I truly appreciate all of his help!

Horrible customer service
October 30, 2023

When buying policy, things were good initially, quick response but once done, no response, not even received the evidence of insurance both by me and my mortgage company. Bamboo charged double from my escrow and me., lot of things going bad way.

Home Insurance
October 18, 2023

My personal experience switching insurance from my old home insurance to Bamboo was very easy. Although it took a little more time to get a hold of an agent, the wait was well worth it. The agent was knowledgeable, and very thorough explaining all my options. He did what he can to give me the best deal, which was very competitive. I would definitely recommend Bamboo home insurance to my family and friends.

Great Agent
October 11, 2023

The agent that helped me was very knowledgeable. I received a quote in a few hours. He explained to me how the homeowner's insurance works. He was very patient. It didn't work out for us. But it certainly is not because of the agent. We received a quote that was lower.

New home insurance
October 10, 2023

I needed new home insurance. My home insurance company increased my premium 3x the amount from the previous year. I was able to reach out to Rahman Pinckney with Bamboo insurance and he took care of me. He did an amazing job from start to finish. Rahman work very fast, efficient and communicated really well. Let me know what he needed from my end to get this transaction completed fast.
Thanks again to Rahman Pinkney and the Bamboo insurance company. Amazing job!

Fraud Company
November 9, 2023

We submitted a claim from hurricane Hillary on August 21st…it's October 10th! We have still not had any communication whether or not this claim will be covered and in the meantime our walls are probably growing mold! We've contacted Mark, who is supposedly supposed to be the manager overseeing claims and have only received a text saying he will get back to us, but hasn't. This company is a scam. If I could rate zero stars, I would. Pay for a legit company like all state or farmers. Now we can't switch insurance because we have an existing claim. This company is a joke.

Best deal in town
