Report
Ive been a customer of Herbert Snowden since 2007, for both my home and vehicle. The staff is excellent. In particular, agent Gordon Swan and office manager Kimberly Fletcher have provided service above and beyond the call of duty on numerous occasions throughout the years. Its almost like having a close having a close relative at the agency, but Im just a regular customer. Im so grateful to have Gordon and Kimberly looking out for my best interests, as I live in Edmonds and my home which is insured through them is 120 miles away in Ellensburg. Their latest example of 5-star service

Gordon carefully looked at my insurance needs. His communication was just great. He called and went over details and options with me to make sure I was getting the coverage I needed. I highly recommend him and this company.

Report
My husband and I have been with Gordon at Herbert Snowden for the last 15 years. We have both auto and home insurance. About 6 months after we bought our second home, the bank advised that we were now required to carry flood insurance on just our shop. Gordon went to work for us and got the bank to pay for the first year since this was their mistake and not a condition of our loan. He has been there for us on a number of occassions and although we rarely need to call him, he has always remembers who we are when we do. One of the best decisions we have ever made.
