I am a physician who is starting a solo practice … The insurances that I inquired about included Workmen's Compensation, cyber insurance, business liability insurance, and an umbrella policy. I inquired with several insurance agents in separate offices. Richard Sweet was the only one who got back to me in the same half day with quotes on each of the policies with comparisons for each.

Richard is fantastic. We just purchased commercial general liability with his help. He answered all my questions promptly and catered all my requests. He was easy to get a hold of on the phone and also via email. What a great experience from this agency. 10/10 highly recommend for all your insurance needs.

I have various odd businesses, like Reiki and Ionic Detox Foot Baths... My thought was.. How do you insure energy work??? Richard and his team were able to find answers and get me a quote within such a short time. Not to mention they were way more affordable!

I was shopping for insurance for my Dad and I called so many agencies only to find out they had limited carriers. I was please to know that Coverguard Insurance was able to quote many carriers to find the best rate for my Dad. … A bonus is that they speak Spanish. Thank you Hugo for your help!

Coverguard found me the best coverage at the best rate for my family. I shopped around with a few apps that were supposed to find the lowest rate, and I called him some of the big name providers on tv commercials, but Coverguard actually found me more coverage at the lowest price when I bundled home and auto. I needed paperwork right away for my job, and within minutes I had proof of insurance via email.

I have had the pleasure of sending my buyer clients to Vantage Point Insurance to get great coverage for their new homes. Richard was professional, extremely quick, and thorough getting my clients exactly what they needed. He even was able to save them money and help them with a few other kinds of insurance like flood and auto!

How we collect reviews
And what happens when we get one wrong.
Every review on this page is written by a real client, shown with their public name, star rating, date, and a link to the original on Google. We do not edit reviews (short excerpts are marked with “…”), we do not pay or trade favors for them, and we ask every client for feedback the same way, after we have done the work, win or lose.
What you see here is a selection. Our complete, unfiltered records, including the reviews we are less proud of, are one click away on each office's Google profile. We are not perfect: out of 120 reviews we have received three critical ones. We responded to each, and where we made a mistake, we fixed it, including refunding a client we let down. If we ever get it wrong with you, call me directly.
