  • “We have loved working with Michelle for both our mortgage and car insurance needs. She is prompt to respond to questions and extremely easy to communicate with. She was able to help us get great rates that other companies couldn't beat! 10/10 would recommend checking out Smiley Insurance for your insurance needs.”

  • “Dyane spent a good deal of time going over our coverage for the house and car to make sure we had the right insurance. I really appreciated her expertise and her sense of humor. My previous agent was not very helpful. Dyane was recommended by a friend, and I am so very happy I made the switch.”

  • “They are an indipendent agency who will shop the best posible deal for you. I was not able to find a better price on my own. I sent my mother to them, and they did the same for her. They are courteous, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with. I keep getting letters from the big companies stating that they can save me hundreds per year, and when I get a quite, some of them are several times the monthly payment that Smileys found for me, and twice the deductable besides. Honestly, don't even bother trying to shop your own insurance. Call Smileys Insurance.”
