Too lengthy for the phone.
I disliked the fact that it took too long with the questions. I noticed there was quite a few of repetition with the questions asked. I was actually on the phone for over an hour when promised it would take twenty minutes to a half-an-hour.
Overall the Insurance Broker was friendly and apologetic at times for the lengthy interview and questions.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize that the process took longer than expected and that some of the questions felt repetitive. Certain questions are required as part of the underwriting process to ensure the most accurate coverage recommendations, but we understand that this can sometimes make the conversation longer than anticipated. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will certainly keep it in mind as we continue working to improve our clients’ experience.

I wanted to discuss my existing policy with an agent. I called numerous times , emailed , left voice mails and no response. One time someone tried to call me and left me a voicemail. I returned call and that was the last time I heard from anyone. I finally got through to someone this morning and am cancelling my policy. If this is the kind of service provided then I would worry about what my loved ones would have to deal with when I’m gone.
