They are friendly and professional people to work with. They will provide you unconventional services that other home/auto insurance agencies may not give. I have been dealing with them from years and will continue to do so. They do all the (dirty) work (searching what best for my needs) and they will call you back saying that they have found a better rate and coverage(s). Why use google search when you have them to do the dirty work for you and they come back with selections for you to choose from. Working with them (all these years) is that you are just not a number (not like all these

My family has been with the Clyde Paul Agency for home and auto insurance since 2014 when our previous insurance agent, who was retiring, merged her clients into Clyde Paul. What a great move that was! The entire staff has always been courteous, professional and extremely helpful with explaining and answering any questions about our policies or anything else insurance related. Lisa, Isabel and Maria are the best and we cannot thank them enough for all their help and guidance these past six years. Highly recommend!

Isabel and Clyde Paul Agency are great. I was given exceptional service. Isabel stayed on top of everything as my home closing took a little longer than expected. The rate she got me was also better than some of the big name companies like State Farm or Geico. Clyde Paul Agency was referred by a friend and I will continue to refer them.
