"Dealing with insurance is not my favorite thing, but Chris made the process of changing our homeowner's and auto insurance a breeze. He saved us over $700/year for even greater coverage, and there was virtually no work on our end. He gave his honest opinion on life insurance policies and did not push the most expensive policy as many agents would."

"Chris Umbel is a great asset to our small business providing our insurance needs. Whether it is coverage advice or a specific policy need, Chris is a knowledgeable expert resource. He answers our questions quickly and thoughtfully so we can focus on our clients. Highly recommend Chris Umbel to small businesses in the DMV."

"If I could give him no stars I would. He is never there everytime I call, no one knows what it going on. Would not recommend !"

"I rarely ever post reviews however, I have a soft spot for people in need of insurance and the way a professional environment should be and/or handled! I’m understanding that State Farm provides the option for individuals to open up offices as independent contractors, however, State Farm Corporate could not have any idea about the way Chris Umbel office is being run! He’s never in the office, and/or returns any of my calls when I leave messages. The office is constantly closed and the upkeep is nothing short of disgusting! I’m unsure how he has any employees due to the fact of the offices maintenance welfare or clientele due to his non-responsiveness!"

"Dishonest & seldomly in the office.There are way better SF agents in the area than this one! Don’t be fooled by the reviews. Half of them he asked friends & staff to write."

"Elizabeth made the process of getting my policy delightful (which is a hard thing to do). Everyone i spoke with was very pleasant. Very happy to be with agents who don't make you feel like it's a task to assist you."

"If I could leave 0 stars I would’ve....I never spoke with Chris, but was able to speak with Steven, which has to be the worst rep I’ve ever dealt with. Extremely rude when I was trying to figure out a weird policy issue I was having. In addition to this, it seems like he hates his job because every time I asked a question or explained something he responded with a smart remark or a condescending one. I ended up canceling my policy with StateFarm, & switched to a different insurer ASAP, don’t have time for this pathetic attempt at customer service."

"Chris and his team are fantastic. They are always available and quick to respond when you leave a message. I have worked with Chris for at least 15 years and he has helped me with home, auto, car, and personal property coverage. I love that I can call and have a full conversation to discuss options when needed. I would highly recommend Chris and his team."

"Best experience I've ever had dealing with car insurance! Steven is the most knowledgeable and most patient person you will ever do business with! He is more like a friend than a representative. I highly recommend this office! thank you so much Steven and company. I really appreciate it. State Farms payment policy is really great and their payment options are very flexible!"

"The CoVid-19 pandemic has the entire nation in a quandary about what we can do to save ourselves and the rest of humanity. There is panic, distrust, fear and anxiety about to proceed. My agent, Chris Umbel and his team at State Farm have proven themselves very valuable. They care about the same things we should be caring about during this tumultuous time. They will help you. And provide comfort with the human touch. Excellent service throughout the years. If you are reading this review, please consider making the switch to State Farm and Chris Umbel’s team. They will work very hard for you because you did."

"Looking for a new insurance provider, we turned to State Farm, specifically Chris and his team. We were immediately impressed with how quickly they were able to help us, and their responsiveness to any questions or phone calls. Since the initial policy was set up, we have continued to work with Chris and never been disappointed. Having dealt with agents who wouldn't answer calls or emails, or that we never even got proper contact information for before, we have been very happy to see that Chris and his team are always easy to reach out to and happy to help. Thanks for your hard work!!"

"Chris is great! When my wife and I started having kids, we went to Chris to make sure we were properly covered for a range of risks. He spent over an hour with us looking over our insurance coverage, and made a few recommendations on how we could save money and expand our coverage at the same time. Since then, he has provided advice on a number of different occasions, always with a view toward properly insuring our family rather than trying to make himself a quick buck. I really appreciate his candid advice and dedication to our wellbeing."

"Chris is very accessible and responsive to any inquiry or question. We have a variety of State Farm products and Chris helps us navigate whatever arises within any of them. Chris also cares about the community in which he works and is supportive of the efforts of organizations seeking to improve the lives of those who need assistance. I appreciate having an agent who is both responsive to my issues, but also tuned into the needs of the community."

"Some of the reviews sound too good to be true. This guy is the worst! ..inflated quotes and lies in order to get you into an overpriced policy. He is very, very, very rude to people. Especially people of color."

"In my experiences with several different insurance agencies, in both my personal and professional life, I had never experienced an insurance company that seemed to care about the actual people they were issuing policies to until I switched my business to them. The attention to detail and and caring nature of my agent Steven Rhodes made signing up with them a no brainer."
