"If you are looking for someone who shows some cares about explaining the reason the insurance has raised significantly, don't call and talk with this agency. The "reasons" that I was given by the lovely female (ha! ha!) talking with me were the usual . . "it's inflation, cars a more complicated, we had COVID, it is the fault of all of those other drivers, yada yada. Somehow, there needs to be a change in how insurance company's can empty your pocket. Paying over $2000 annually for vehicle insurance is a very sad thing to see. Very condesding . . ."
We responded:
"Carol, this is John the agent. Thank you for your feedback however I pride myself in the type of service we offer to our clients. (See all the other 5 Star reviews.) Premium rates are set by underwriters, not the agent or the agency. The continued increases, across the entire industry, are frustrating. There are varying factors that go into assessing risk profiles for any policy. Lisa, my manager, shared with me that you hung up on her while she was trying to explain how rates are determined. We at the agency level have ZERO discretion over how rates are determined. I personally would offer the opportunity to address your concerns regarding our insurance services or offer what has contributed at an industry level to rates overall. I would talk with you to listen and see if I can further explain how rates work. "

"State Farm in Edmonds is wonderful to work with. Lisa is a "gem". She has gone out of her way to assist me. I am very appreciative of her quick response. Thank you Lisa."

"John and has team have been amazing to work with. I have taken over as POA for my Dad and they have assisted me in handling his account by providing great service and pricing. I highly recommend them!"
We responded:
"Julie, it's people like your Dad and now you his family that make this role as an agent so enriching. We can get insurance anywhere--like online but without the personal touches that I instill in my culture here, insurance is just....a transaction. I am so glad we were able to get everything set up to help you manage your family's affairs. Thank you again for the words. John"

"John and his team were fantastic to work with for switching over my home, car and umbrella insurance policies to State Farm. I’m thoroughly impressed with his expertise and commitment to value added products. Thank you so much for your explanations and time helping me manage my insurance. Highly recommend!!"
We responded:
"Thank you for the nice words Bryce. Explaining and taking time to go over options, in my view, is something anyone deserves. Insurance isn't easy so taking time is necessary for anyone to feel comfortable with what they are getting for their protection. Thank you again!!"

"We left State Farm thinking we could find a less expensive coverage but we were mistaken and now we are back with the best and honest agent. Thank you again John"
We responded:
"So happy to have you two back John! Thank you for the kind words and this may not always be the case but I am glad that you thought of me and State Farm when the carrier you left us for just didn't quite give you what you had hoped. Welcome back my friend."

"John is a gentle giant in every sense of the phrase - on the work front and on the personal front. While being hugely personable he gets to the bottom of what needs to happen and gets it done!"
We responded:
"Holly, your words are special--thank you. I am so happy I was able to meet you and Gerry and we could finally take care of your business all the way from Africa. Be safe out there and I'll look forward to seeing you again soon (perhaps)!"

"Just moved to Edmonds from CA. Have been a State Farm client for over 30 years so wanted to stay with them for new home owners and auto. Worked with Lisa. Was an excellent experience. Lisa was knowledgeable, professional and welcoming. She helped me with an umbrella policy as well. Totally recommend."
We responded:
"Ann, thank you for the nice words, especially about Lisa. It was nice to meet you when you stopped in. I am happy to hear that we were able to make this seamless for you. Welcome to my agency family!!"

"John is knowledgeable, detailed and spent the time getting to know me and my family’s needs. I had a ton of questions and my situation was not totally normal. John spent the time to work different scenarios to give us the best coverage for the best price. I would highly recommend John especially if the insurance world feels like a foreign language, he will help guide you with patience and arm you with the knowledge so that you can feel good about your coverage and decisions made. There are a ton of people in the insurance industry, John is one of the good ones."
We responded:
"Wow, thanks for the nice words Greg. My office does take this approach as it would be too easy to simply race through to get policies in place. Insurance is important yet even I didn't fully understand it until I got on the agent's side of the table. You were truly a joy to work with. Thanks again!"

We responded:
"Thank you for the review Scott, we truly appreciate it. I believe that insurance isn't always easy to understand so my goal is to also educate and ensure that my clients understand that price is only one factor. Thanks again!!"

"My wife Lynda and I hit it off immediately meeting John and Lisa last Friday in their amazing new office in downtown Edmonds, overlooking the ferry dock with the stellar panoramic view of the sound and the Olympic Mountains. What a wonderful venue to conduct business. We have never had a more pleasant time writing up a car insurance policy. Both John and Lisa made us feel warm and taken care of. We left their office not only feeling confident about our new policy, but we felt we gained a couple top notch friends. Hopefully we will never have to meet under crash conditions, but definitely for beers and pizza! Skol!"
We responded:
"Thanks to you both for the nice review, but also in accepting that we feel the same about the clients we bring into our agency family. Looking forward to "not" meeting under crash conditions! Thank you again for your trust in State Farm and in my agency!"

"John Schmick’s assistant, Staci Hutchinson is the best. She is courteous, efficient and she gets back to you promptly. She provides the personalized service that we want and need; something that is lacking when dealing with the big companies."
We responded:
"Hello Richard, thank you for the nice comments, especially about Staci. It warms my heart to know that my team takes care of all of you who do have a choice in who you do business with. There are many things we can't control but how we treat people is what matters and is our choice. That is the culture in my agency, so again thank you for noticing and sharing your thoughts and experience. Warm regards. John"

We responded:
"Lee, thanks for the kind words. Perhaps it's all the Harry Potter movies I watched with my kids, perhaps learning a few swipes of a wand! As you and I discussed, I don't think much is not able to be figured out, just takes some tenacity and a special bit of magic when needed. You are a joy to work with...thanks again for being you!!"

"Staci Hutchison is SUPER nice and she helped for finding good insurance for my car and my short term disability. I am very pleased with her service and I will try to refer my friends and family to her."
We responded:
"Hello Hoa, I appreciate your words and especially your sentiments about referring your "people" to us. I usually reply back to these reviews within a day or two, so not sure how yours slipped through the cracks. Regardless of my timing, the one thing we can control is our attitude and how we treat people. I appreciate that you experienced this inside the culture I am entrusting with our team. Thank you again."
