Absolutely appreciate the help of Ben Brown Insurance over this past year! Kara Baltes has patiently walked me through all my questions as I assumed responsibility for insurance needs. And after the hurricane season, Kara assisted me in getting a claim started. My thanks to Karol Briandi as well for helping me submit the claim packet to the insurance adjuster. Your kindness and assistance has been amazing.

The personalized attention is what makes Ben Brown Insurance stand out. Their entire team makes themselves available to answer questions and explain everything we need to be aware of. We highly recommend having Ben Brown Insurance review your insurance portfolio.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dahana for my insurance needs at Ben Brown Insurance Agency, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to all my questions and concerns. Her ability to break down complex policies into simple terms made it easy for me to make an informed decision. Dahana went above and beyond to ensure I got the best coverage at a fair price, tailoring the options to fit my specific needs. The process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free thanks to her professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend asking for Dahana when you contact Ben Brown Insurance Agency. Thank you, Dahana, for your outstanding support!

I made the right decision when I contacted Ben Brown Insurance agency 4 years ago in search of a new homeowners policy. The service I have received from Jonathan Hussar has been absolutely outstanding. His competence and responsiveness in dealing with complex issues is off the charts. I could not be more satisfied and as a result, I have also moved my auto and personal liability policies to Ben Brown Insurance Agency as well.

Ben Brown Insurance has been absolutely a life saver especially this year with the increased cost of home insurance. Jonathan Hussar has gone above and beyond to help us find good coverage. I have experienced good customer service from a previous company, but not at the same level as Ben Brown Insurance. I really believe they have the best service in the area.

We are clients of Ben Brown Insurance. We've worked with our specialist, Jonathan for many years and changed agencies so that we could work with him when he joined Ben Brown. Jonathan has been responsive to our needs and recommended only the products we need and offers pros and cons to the various options the insurance industry provides. He's very professional and would highly recommend Jonathan and Ben Brown Insurance.

Ben Brown is a professional agency to work with. I had both my business and personal insurances with them. The Hussar/Briandi Team is efficient, responsive and very good in providing customer service and competitive quotes. I strongly recommend them.

Insurance needs as a business owner can often times be daunting. After having used various agencies throughout the years, I had never found an agency who always looked out for my best interests the way that Evan at Ben Brown has. After reviewing one of 4 insurance policies for me, I have transferred all of my insurance needs over to Ben Brown. Evan is responsive, communicates well and was able to save me over 30% sometimes up to 50% for better coverage than what I had been lying previously. Their firm is highly organized, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

If “excellence” matters to you, Kara Baltes of Ben Brown Insurance Agency is worth talking with. Her follow-through is thorough, exquisitely researched, favorably negotiated and prompt. Working with a professional individual who places the client and their needs as their priority has become somewhat rare these days. To work with Kara Baltes restores my belief that we can still experience that good feeling that someone with whom we are working is in our court as our partner, equipped to meet our needs, and committed to doing so. Highly recommend!

Ben Brown Insurance has been handling All of our business insurance for 13+ years. They have not only saved us a lot of money, but they keep a close watch on our insurance expenses. Ryan (Brown) never fails to meet with us to go over our coverages annually, he also never fails to point us in the right direction when changes should be made to our policies. Their other staff are friendly, prompt, and efficient whenever we have to request their services. Krista is a charm (as I'm sure Ryan knows), and always makes sure our COI's are handled promptly (sometimes before we even expect them) and Always makes us feel important to their firm. Thanks Ben Brown!!! Keep up the good work! (Janet Myers / Bill The Plumber, Inc.)
