“Excellent transaction”

John M.
1/2/24

I called Bamboo Insurance for a quote on a rental property. The policy I had was not renewed as the insurer has withdrawn from the market in California. The agent I spoke with (Richard) was more than helpful. He handled everything quickly and efficiently while maintaining a very friendly attitude throughout. I will happily return for quotes on other properties in the future.

“Horrible customer service”

When buying policy, things were good initially, quick response but once done, no response, not even received the evidence of insurance both by me and my mortgage company. Bamboo charged double from my escrow and me., lot of things going bad way.

I was impressed with the exceptional level of service provided. ​The agent Brett Hanson exhibited a remarkable commitment to prompt communication, ensuring that all inquiries and concerns were addressed in a timely manner. Moreover, the agent demonstrated a deep understanding of the available coverage options and provided detailed explanations, which greatly assisted me in making well-informed decisions.

As we received a notice of non-renewal from our previous carrier due to no fault of our own, the pressure to find a way to insure our home was a bit overwhelming.

Not only, did Noah Larsen, our Sales Support Advocate, explain things in a clear and concise manner, he made suggestions that helped alleviate the stress of navigating these difficult waters and made sure our home is covered both through the California Fair Plan as well as the Difference in Coverage policy with Bamboo.

His ongoing communication through the entire process, even after the policies have been written has been exceptional.

My insurance agent Noah went above and WAY beyond to get me insured. Farmers insurance dropped us because we live in the California mountains. I couldn't find anyone to insure us. Noah set me up that same day. Helped me with California fire insurance and DIC insurance. He worked late on a Sunday to help us. Who does that anymore? Bamboo does! I see Noah as a part of the family now.

Rahman was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. He responded quickly and helped us secure homeowners insurance after being cancelled by our long time insurer (in CA but with a wildfire risk of zero).

Bamboo insurance notified us that our homeowner's insurance policy will be cancelled due to the fact that the insurance company no longer covers our area. They found similar insurance in coverage and price. It was very smooth and easy.

After falling victim to the California insurance company exodus I found myself in need of insurance with no time to spare. Thanks to Mark Coleman and Bamboo Insurance my problem was solved. Mark quickly handled the paperwork and provided two very resasonable quotes. I subsequently obtained a policy and the pressure is off!

I got in touch with Bamboo after Farmers increased my rate arbitrarily by 75%. Noah was great and I ended up with *more* coverage for 60% less. I strongly recommend getting in touch with Bamboo if you feel like you're paying too much for home owners insurance and not getting enough coverage.

After attempting for over a week to change my $8,000 California Fair Plan Policy to monthly installments & dealing with 4 other agents who not only failed to make the change but never followed up with phone calls or emails, the deadline for changing the payments before my policy expired, came & went. Steven not only managed to make the change for me, despite the deadline, he was able to post my first payments same day which I was told was impossible by agents at CFP when I contacted them directly. I am so grateful to Steven for turning what was the most frustrating customer service I have ever experienced into a saving grace. So grateful to him for potentially saving me from what could have become financial crisis. Thanks, Steven!

When my former insurance company basically made it impossible to continue my policy with them I was referred to Crystal Ruiz at /bamboo Insurance Company. Over and over again Crystal patiently walked me through the process of obtaining new insurance for my physical property at 766 Crown Drive, Lake Arrowhead *******.
She repeated (hen repeated again) the process necessary to transfer my insurance over tot the Bamboo Company. I couldn't have done it without her!

I cannot believe how easy, seamless and professional our experience was. Our broker backed out of helping us (California and fires) and when I sent what was done for us through Bamboo, our broker wrote back "they did better than I could have for you."! Enough said.

Sign up was very fast and easy. Agent had very good advice on coverages. Overall very good so far. The user website however is very bare minimum and only allows for making payments. You can't see your policy or update anything which is not really acceptable in this day and age. All other companies have these basic features.
