Customer Reviews

December 22, 2020

If you own, run, or are affiliated in any way with a business that needs insurance, you should be using this company. From the first point of contact, to now months and many insurance policies later, WHINS (Joel Wagner in particular) has been no less than amazing. They communicate frequently, educate, and work tirelessly to bring the best value and pricing for what your business needs, both specifically and generally. I cannot say enough about the service we've gotten, and the incredible peace of mind that we now have because we have been cared for by this agency. We have now moved ALL our insurance to WHINS and they have been consummate professionals who are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and flexible. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Joel went out of his way helping me set up with commercial auto insurance where I was buying a new company truck and finance company was in Canada and kept changing there mind on wording for the COI and Joel would reword it and get it back to them very quickly (happened about 3 or 4 times I think ) He has also been my regular auto insurance agent for at least 10 years and has always been on top of anything that came up. Great company to do business with would recommend to anyone. Thanks Joel!!!

As I was getting small business insurance for my start-up, I got introduced to WHINS and Joel Wagner through another one of their happy customers. I was provided several options, not sold more than I need, and treated with respect and responsiveness every step of the way. Execution was flawless. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for business insurance of any kind.

December 18, 2020

I've had Joel provide me with all forms of insurance for many years. He has always provided great service, responded to my inquiries quickly and found the lowest cost & best policies to satisfy my needs. I've referred Joel to a number of friends and they too have had the same experience.

December 18, 2020

Joel was recommended by my contractor. Joel was very responsive, professional and found the best rates. I highly recommend him to my friends and partners.

December 16, 2020

Karen Fatta and WHINS were recommended by a colleague as professional, knowledgeable, and reasonable. All three are correct. Karen listened to my needs and tailored a policy that fit. She quickly and fully answered any questions. I am happy to now be the person recommending Karen Fatta and WHINS.

WHINS helped make the stressful transition away from our old business liability insurance broker less painful. I really felt like I was the most important client in their portfolio.

November 5, 2019

Darren and his team have put order and reason into the insurance jumble involved in running a small business ( liability, accident, disability, workmen's comp, building, contents, etc. - who can keep track? - WHINS Insurance can! ) and on top of that, they have saved me some money! Keep up the good work!
