"Insurance is an Integral part of my overall financial plan, and each year I thoroughly review every policy with my wife and team of financial advisors. One of those advisors is Doug Gifford, not only because he has been a lifelong friend, but because he has earned my trust in moments that mattered several times. For example, while processing a claim for roof damage due to hail, Doug helped close critical gaps of knowledge in the State Farm claims side of the business, enabling the repair to proceed in a timely manner. On another occasion, the claims side of State Farm misunderstood our situation due to a human error in not reading the complete notes we had prepared when submitting out claim. This caused a very negative customer experience on my part. When I notified Doug, he engaged, and the situation was corrected inside of a day. I would be remiss if I did not mention the great support from Kris, Julie, and Taunya every time we have a question. Their tenure, experience, and expertise is a major part of the overall value we receive. I do insurance competitive comparisons every two years in a thorough process led by my independent financial advisors. Every time, when considering price, coverage, terms, support, and claim experience Doug’s office comes out on top. It is without reservation that I fully and completely endorse Doug Gifford’s State Farm agency in Carroll, Iowa."
We responded:
"Thanks very much for your kind words Tony! It's great clients like you that keep me motivated to keep doing what we do everyday here. I'm so thankful for you the words, your business, and your friendship. Doug"

"I changed my insurance to this company because they said they could save me almost $100 a month on my car insurance and i could get multiple discounts for having a child, being over 25, and multiple cars being insured at the same address etc. The problem was, after I signed up for the insurance and was waiting on my insurance card, they said I would only pay $218 for full coverage and other things but they charged me over $300 and didn't tell me, I had to call and ask them why. They said it's because I had 1 minor ticket from 3 years ago which they didn't check my record before promising me a certain price. They also didn't apply any of the discounts they said they would and said there's no way to change how much I'd be paying. Everytime I try to call and ask questions or get help, the receptionist is extremely rude and impatient. I've never been treated so rudely before..."
We responded:
"Thank you for the review. We value all kinds of feedback at our agency and would love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out by phone 712-792-5002 so we can discuss this. We look forward to hearing from you. "
