“I have been a client with this agency for more then 30yrs. I have always been completely happy with their customer service and assistance with managing my policies. Kelly Stone and Kristan Clarkson have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They have both gone above and beyond to help me. We have recently relocated to South Carolina and will no longer be insured by Puffenbarger insurance. I have to say that I feel like I am leaving my friends. Kristen and Kelly help me so much with my transition. I will have to call them every now and then just to say hi. Thanks again, Marilyn Alvarado”

“Professional, expert advice. Cares about community - $50 rebate from Nationwide unexpected, and gracious. Staff is knowledgeable, no pressure, and easy to work with, They provided me workable options for both my personal and business needs. Very quick at following up, even during this time of pandemic in our country. Felt like they treat large customers and small customers with the same level of professionalism and courtesy.”

She went above and beyond to help find a replacement insurance policy when the company I was using went out of business and gave me short notice to find new coverage. We talked almost every day for a week...she was always patient and truly understanding of my predicament! Kristen found the perfect policy to meet my needs and my pocketbook!! I am so glad a friend recommended Puffenbarger Ins. Thank you, Kristen!”

“Scott and Jack have been true professionals when they helped me with my personal insurances. They reviewed my prior coverage and identified some holes as well as some over coverages and provided us with solutions to properly cover our risk. This gives my family and me the peace of mind to know we are properly covered if we ever have the unfortunate need to use it. Further, I proudly provide Scott and Jack referrals when my friends and clients need a second look at their coverage. I am confident that they will take great care of them and deliver the same level of service and respect I would show them myself. Thank you both for your professionalism.”

“The Puffenbarger team has been exceptional to work with in reviewing various POA and HOA policies for our association management organization. Cathy, Michelle, Stephanie, and Greg have each been very responsive and especially courteous and professional. It's been a pleasure working with each of them. Jack's experience and guidance is second to none. He goes above and beyond simply being present for renewals or new business. He takes the time to share insurance tips with myself and my team which are relative to our industry and he proactively offers to come to our office to provide insurance education to association managers.”
