Pretty good
Nelson & McCarthy Insurance helped us with our home insurance renewal. They found a slightly better rate. The process was straightforward, nothing exceptional but reliable.

Lost my documents
Nelson & McCarthy Insurance lost some of my paperwork during the home insurance application process. Had to resubmit everything. Very unprofessional experience.

Could be better
The rates Nelson & McCarthy Insurance found for my home insurance were okay, but I found a similar quote on my own online. The personal service was nice though.
