Experienced homeowners insurance agency in Kirkland
Our team is dedicated to provide responsive service and will always pick up your phone calls and promptly return your emails. We are not here to just sell you a policy and we will stand by you when you need us.
As a resident of Eastside for more than 20 years, I care deeply about our community. I am very fortunate to have my insurance agency in Kirkland and I am committed to be part of this wonderful town. I sincerely appreciate the continuing trust in my agency and I will always maintain the highest integrity and provide honest and helpful information.
See what our customers have to say about our highly-rated service.
Alice and her team has been very helpful with my home-owner insurance claim and car insurance claim. They follow up almost immediately and check claim status for you on regular basis. Thank you and your team for all the help!- Alice came highly recommended to me from a good friend of ours. So when my auto insurance was about to renew, I reached out to Alice to see if she could review my policy and helped me save some costs. She was so thorough in going over all the details of my policies with me and really took the time to explain how my coverages work. The quotes came out just about the same as my current (or I should say previous) policies but I decided to switch to Alice. I love how responsive and dedicated she is. I can see why my friend recommended Alice and I am a happy customer now!
- The AYAO team is amazing! In the past five years I have had over 15 different cars and trucks ( could be more, I've lost track ) and at the current moment have 5 on my insurance plan, ( we love cars and big toys ). Along with my homeowners and renters plan the AYAO Team is ALWAYS available. Every time I need to make a change it just takes a quick moment on the app, email or call and I know I am covered. Keeping track of all our toys, cars and trucks coverage is easy with the Allstate App. Alice always works to keep my premiums as low as possible. Also, I have referred friends and family to the AYAO team and they couldn't be happier. Not only where the rates less the ease of use and the personal care the team gives, keeps us all with Alice and her team at Allstate. Thank, you Alice, you and your team are the best!!!! Smiles, Diana
