Nancy C.
April 4, 2025
"My husband and I were shopping for both auto and home insurance, as our rates went up significantly. We luckily connected with Gavin and couldn't be happier with his intelligent and thorough explanation of the questions we had on certain policy coverages. We are both seniors and appreciated the time and patience he exhibited answering questions we had. He also has a great sense of humor! The rates quoted by Gavin were very fair. He explained everything very well so there were no surprises. It was obvious to us that Gavin is a "people person" and was familiar with the insurance industry. We initially dreaded having to insurance shop, but after talking with Gavin, we were pleasantly surprised to find we were worried for no reason. Thank you Gavin!"
"Thank you so much, Nancy! I’m really glad Gavin was able to walk you and your husband through everything with clarity, care, and a bit of humor too! It means a lot to know the experience felt smooth, especially when navigating both auto and home insurance. We know how overwhelming it can be to shop around, so it’s great to hear Gavin helped make it feel a lot more approachable. We’re truly grateful for your trust and for sharing such a kind and detailed review!"

"Delighted to share highlights about our experience with State Farm/John Roman Agency throughout the years and most recently in the past 9 months. Of special note, our homeowners and auto insurance has been handled by the team at the John Roman Agency for 30 + years since we moved to Evanston in 1996. Overall whenever we have had a need the team at this agency has always handled our needs with great care and on a timely basis and with the best attitude. I wanted to give a shoutout to Ayla Grace Walsh who was so helpful with some changes we recently made to our auto policies and as a result we are saving $, A big thank you Ayla. Ayla was very patient in explaining all to me with the changes we requested and went above and beyond in getting back to me on a timely basis. Also, with our HomeOwners policy Rachel McConkey reached out to touch base on our policy to review all, here again we have cost savings. Rachel pointed out since we have roadside service through another firm we do not have to carry it on our auto policy which again resulted in cost savings. Every "little bit" makes a difference, and it is great to have the confidence knowing our family at State Farm is watching over us to make sure we have the accurate coverages. And I also want to mention Kinley Kemnitz who was right there for me/us with questions I had on a claim. Thank you State Farm for taking such great care of us."
"Thank you, Rhonda, for your kind words and for trusting our agency over the years! We’re thrilled to have been part of your journey since your move to Evanston. It’s wonderful to hear that Ayla, Rachel, and Kinley have been able to support your insurance needs while helping you save. Your trust and loyalty mean so much to us. If you ever have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always here to help!"
