Customer Reviews
BGS is the best! Sound advice and pre-planning have protected our family on several occasions.
Wonderful guidance in choosing the right plan for me. Always being able to contact agent when need be for questions.
Great people to deal with.
BGS has been nothing but professional from start to finish. From home and auto coverage to life and more, I feel like I have a real partner with respect to my insurance needs.
A friend recommended BGS Insurance Agency to me several years ago, and my experience with them has been a very positive one. My agent, Todd Seymour, responds to my inquiries quickly and in a very comprehensive manner. With Todd's assistance, I feel empowered to make informed choices.
Todd is super easy to work with, and this makes the whole 'uh oh we need insurance' conversation so much better. Thanks Todd.
