Pam is our new Farmers Insurance Agent and she went above and beyond for our insurance needs! We did "the Bundle" with Home and Auto. The plus is we are SAVING MONEY compared to the other company that I had since I was 19 years old! When she's saving us this much money, and we added more to our policies, how could we beat that!?! We just bought a house and she had to be in contact with the lender showing them proof of insurance and was ready and waiting for them to contact her to send them what they needed and being time sensitive we had no worries about Pam getting things done in time!! Pam is a pleasure to work with, she's considerate, kind, personable, professional and very knowledgeable!! She made sure we understood everything about our policies and if we had questions she didn't hesitate to answer and if she was unsure she did the research to get us an answer, and explained it all so we could understand it. I should add that she was easy to contact and her response time was impeccable! Never a wait! This is one lady you can go to for ALL your insurance needs (out of Chris Elliott's office in Seattle) and know that she is going to take great care of you! We feel so lucky that Pam is our new Farmers Insurance Agent and I'm referring all my family to Pam because who doesn't love to save money!! I have so much confidence in her and her awesome work ethics, I changed my other policies I had with Farmers to Pam knowing that she will take great care of us for ALL our insurance needs!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with David, and I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for his exceptional help in choosing the right business insurance for my company. Not only did he ensure that all my equipment and property were adequately covered, but his impressive communication skills and efficiency made the entire process a breeze. One aspect that truly stood out about David was his dedication to addressing my questions and concerns. He promptly replied to every email, phone call, and text message, ensuring that I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. His responsiveness and willingness to assist were exceptional, leaving me with the confidence that I could rely on him for any future insurance-related queries or updates. Overall, my experience with David was nothing short of outstanding. His professionalism, clear communication, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction were exemplary. I highly recommend his services to anyone in search of the right business insurance. I am confident that he will provide the same level of exceptional support to anyone who chooses to work with him.

  • James Rolland

Marlana Studebaker is a pro. I first went to her about two years ago to insure my house, guest house and a couple of cars. She quickly and competently saw my needs, suggested changes, sought out discounts and made the whole process painless and easy with her range of knowledge, in-person communication and subsequent calls and emails to make sure everything went smoothly. Recently I had to add another house, van and umbrella policy. She integrated them seamlessly into my current policy and suggested some tweaks and changes to make sure I was adequately covered. Marlana went to bat for me after another office tried some decidedly shady shenanigans when they found out I would be pulling my business from them. I've never felt rushed when speaking to her on the phone, even when she had the flu (sorry, Marlana!). The level of customer service, professionalism and friendliness Marlana provides is outstanding in a time when those things seem to be increasingly secondary.

  • Keith Boyd

I've known Chris for over 40 years. Now you might think, "well, of course this a five-star review -- he's known Chris for years." Instead, consider that we have a 40-year track record, and I chose to give Chris my insurance business because of trust built over those 40+ years. Over the last decade he's continued to earn my trust as my needs and life circumstances have continued to change. Chris is always responsive and helpful -- whenever I need help, he's quick to provide it, via email, phone or whatever method is most convenient. And he's always doing everything he can to proactively keep our rates low and competitive. You really couldn't find a better insurance agent in the Seattle area than Chris.

  • Mo O

Chris Elliott is an insurance broker par excellence. When we moved to Seattle we needed a broker to help us properly cover multiple homes, vehicles, and other assets - in three states. He coordinated with the Farmers brokers in the other states on our behalf to be sure all the policies made sense individually and together. Chris took the time to make sure we understood all the nuances so we could make informed risk-vs-benefit decisions. We have purchased multiple auto, home, landlord, and umbrella policies from Chris since 2011. We've had many changes and one claim - all handled promptly, professionally, and in a gracious, friendly manner. My husband and I recommend Chris without reserve.

  • John Kelley

Updated 12/22 - Once again, impeccable service from Marlana at Chris Elliott Insurance Agency. Thanks!!! I have used Chris Elliott's services for a number of years. They are excellent and know what they're doing. Within the agency, Kelly and Marlena are both very attentive and helpful. Chris is always paying attention and will even email during off hours or on the weekend if he notices something is amiss with your service. While I'm not typically a person who writes reviews, I felt like one good turn deserved another and wanted to thank them for the recent service they provided to me. If you're looking for a good agency, I very much recommend Farmer's through Chris Elliott.

  • Gigi Morrison

We switched to Farmer’s Insurance for our home coverage and not only were we impressed with the rates, we are extremely happy with the care and attention to details that our agent, David Drake, gave us. Previously, we were paying too much for just a little coverage AND we weren’t sure what would happen should there be that tragic situation of loss. But now, we are confident that we will be taken care of and it will not be difficult or impossible to resolve any problem and/or restore our home and property should there be a claim. Thank you, David, for all your help thus far. We look forward to many years in this partnership with you and your company. -the Morrisons

  • Gary Gungon

I have been working with Marlana for a few years now. Before her I would usually switch insurance companies every few years or so because I didn't really see the difference between any of them. I have been with Pemco, Progressive, and All State, to name a few. Marlana very responsive to all my inquiries, is very knowledgeable, and is easier to get a hold of than most of my relatives. In my household I'm basically in charge of like 3 things; taking out the trash, my kid's bath time, and insurance. Marlana has covered a third of my workload by responding to all matters, no matter how big or small. 5 stars for sure.

  • Diane Howerton

I would highly recommend Chris Elliott and Farmers Insurance. Chris is easily accessible by phone, personable and never comes across as a sales person. I've called from an accident scene and been immediately reassured and helped. I am confident and happy with Chris Elliot and Farmers Insurance. The staff is amazing! Always available, friendly and well informed. Recently I was away for a month and somehow missed a premium payment. I received a personal email letting me know this had happened and I was easily able to remedy the situation. Hats off to this agency! I'm so impressed with their service and support!

  • Alexandra Elizabeth

Not so good experience... I inquired about getting a landlord policy for a rental property. David picked up the phone and said he was out of the office, but would email me when he returned. Never heard from him again after that. I called back again a week or two later to see if I could reach Chris for help with a policy and again David answered. He said that he couldn't really give me any information over the phone and that I would need to call Farmers 800# directly. Too bad as I would have referred them a ton of business had this gone differently.

  • Kelley Wentworth

David Drake has been a wonderful agent for both my auto and home insurance policies for over 6 years, and I cannot recommend him and the Chris Elliott Insurance Agency enough! Very knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful, David has been great to work with. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to sort through all of the different coverage options available, but David always takes the time to explain each policy and make sure I understand exactly what is covered. Anyone would be lucky to work with David (or any of the other fantastic team members here)!

  • Elizabeth Harrington

David Drake goes completely above and beyond to provide expert advice to homeowners. We have been working with him for several years, and have been so impressed with his organization and personability. We recently weathered a major remodel with 2 young kids, and he patiently followed up with us in a non-pushy way when we got overwhelmed and needed a lot of handholding upgrading our homeowner's insurance. His patience and customer service are a great match to his clear expertise in the field. He's the best!

  • Ashok Kumar Ram

For more than 3 years now, I have had all of my insurance needs (Auto, Home, Renters, Landlord insurance etc.) met through the Chris Elliott Agency LLC and if could I would provide them more than 5 stars on all parameters. Chris and his team are extremely responsive (yes they pick up the phone when you need to reach them urgently), provide incredible customer service and promptly suggest on policy options that best fits your needs. I can recommend their services and products to anyone any day.

  • Lutfiyah H

For the 2018 year in particular, I’ve had to make several changes to my family policy. I have not met Chris in person, communicating with him only through phone calls and Emails. Nevertheless, he has been prompt and detailed in his replies each time, regardless of whether I write “Hi Chris could you...” or “Hi Chris, ... what if..” I sure appreciate that, and just want to let those in search of an insurance agent know that for me, he’s been accessible, accommodating, and responsive.

  • L. Scott

I have had nothing but top notch service from this agency over the years. Every member of the staff I've communicated with has been wonderfully helpful, even saving me nearly $200 on a recent policy I moved over to them (thanks David!). Highly recommend! Update: I moved out of state, so had to change providers and David was so helpful getting me the information I needed and providing the needed info to the new Farmers agency. I'll miss doing business with this office.

  • Craig Wallace

David Drake has been my insurance rock star for years. To say he 'goes the extra mile' would be many, many miles off the mark! Never before have I encountered an agent so detail-oriented and committed to ensuring the client (me, in this case) is always well informed and fully understands all the policy jargon. I always feel like he truly has my best interests at heart. If you want to be super-served by the Chris Elliott Insurance Agency, just ask for David!

  • Derrick Hoard

The good ole federal government is requiring me to have business property insurance, which admittedly, is not a bad thing to ask me to do, but its so TEDIOUS. It takes forever and even the threat of government ire was not enough to get me motivated to do it. However, I worked with Marlana and she was able to help me get started. I am very appreciative of her and the work she did. She even sent me a reminder email. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

  • WillsWorld 206

Hands down these guys are amazing!! Chris and his team go above and beyond for there clients. I recently had a pipe burst and do a significant amount of damage. After hearing horror stories from friends on similar issues. I was really scared that they would have some loop hole to get out of it. But nope! They guided me thru the process smoothly! All got taken care of and really not much of an inconvenience. I will be a client for life!!!

  • Reilly O'Connor

I reached out to Farmers when I was in a real bind with regards to homeowner's insurance. I got a response almost immediately from David, who went on to go above and beyond not only in helping me line up coverage, but also managing the complex communications with my mortgage lender. Throughout the process David was extremely communicative and reassuring. It has been a great experience so far and I would recommend this office to others!

  • Naheed Nizam

We have been with Chris Elliott Insurance Agency (and Farmers) for more than15 years and have received exceptional service consistently. They were empathic and expedient when we had to deal with a homeowners claim as a result of a home break-in; and have provided great customer service when dealing with auto insurance, whether it be a claim or college student add-ons as needed. Chris, Pam and Kelly are amazing!

  • Sidney Law

Pam walked me through what to look for when purchasing home insurance. I appreciated that she did not simply recommend a very high cost policy, but took the time to sort out what our needs were and the type of policy that would be appropriate for this situation. She also took time to review policies from other agencies and was frank about what their office could match and what they could not.

  • Courtney Fuller

I have always had such good customer service working with Farmers. Chris Elliott's team is always so responsive and friendly, and supportive, and also always one step ahead of me, which I appreciate so much for something like insurance, which is tricky to understand sometimes. They follow up, reply, and it always feels like they're on our side, and want the best for us! Thank you team!

  • Rudy Simone

Chris is an ace ! His knowledge of all my options as well as his response time is unmatched . He even saved me more money than the insurance company I was with for 15 years and beat they’re home insurance with the same benefits . Most of all , he eliminated any stressful timeframes and avoided wasting anyone’s time . Highly recommend for any insurance needs. Thanks again Chris !

  • Emma Hale

We worked with David Drake on our move from Montana to Washington State. He was able to get us all set up with home, car, and camper insurance! It was a completely smooth transition and nice to know we have someone reliable to reach out to with any questions. David was professional, responsive, and asked all the right questions. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

  • Mark Mason

I have worked with David for about 13 years and I have never worked with a more proactive, diligent, responsive, accurate and caring agent. David is always checking in with us to make sure we are satisfied with our service, to ask if there is anything he can do for us and to make sure our policies are in alignment with our goals and well priced. Highly recommend!

  • Don Mesa

David Drake was immensely helpful in getting my auto and rental insurance needs sorted out when I made the move from CA to WA. As it was my first time moving out of state, I had many questions concerning driving laws and rental policies. David was quick to respond on all of my questions and made me feel comfortable with how to best set up my insurance policies.

  • Ryan Christofferson

David helped me get insurance for my general contracting business, I was referred to him by a family friend who is also a general contractor. I shopped around for insurance with a lot of different services and by far David found me the best price and the best coverage for my business he moved very quickly through the process and was Extremely knowledgeable

  • Patricia Denny

I want to provide a shoutout to the Chris Elliott Insurance Agency. I had the opportunity to work with them for the nine great years I lived in Seattle and I have never felt more positive and secure regarding my insurance needs. This team truly has the customers' best interest in mind, which is illustrated by their efficient and personalized service!

  • Nancy Sisko

Pam Croft was extremely thorough when I joined this Farmer's agency (after being with another Farmers agency for over 35 years). She asked for all of my condo association information which helped her realize that I had been significantly overpaying my unit home insurance for many years. I am grateful for her seriousness and her detailed attention.

  • Jeff Green

I was fortunate to connect with David Drake at the Chris Elliott Ins Agency to get options for updating my earthquake insurance policy. He was smart, personable and knows so many option and what to look out for. He also cut my current policy in half by eliminating stuff I do not need that were driving up the cost per year. Highly recommend him!

  • Eliana Schwartz

David Drake helped us get our condo association insurance squared away. He was honest, informative, and more helpful than any insurance agent I've ever spoken with. He explained what each part of the policy was for and made excellent, informed recommendations for our policy. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for insurance options!

  • Jinghua Ren (Jing)

Marlana is an outstanding insurance agent. She came to our rescue not once, but twice, with urgent proof of insurance during home and auto purchases, even on weekends. Marlana's dedication and exceptional service made our experience hassle-free. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and responsive insurance agent.

  • Charles Brandt

We are moving to Coupeville this month and I was referred to David Drake for my personal insurance needs. David has been a pleasure to work with and was able to save me a lot of money switching from State Farm. Detailed oriented and thorough in reviewing my current policies and making recommendations. Highly recommend David!

  • Dara Khan

I have had a great experience working with Pam. I had an evolving situation regarding car ownership that took several months to resolve and she was patient and understanding. When it was time to set up my policy, she handled it very quickly and professionally. This is the kind of service I really appreciate.

  • Alexandre Shinobu Higashi

Chris and his staff have always being nice and professional. I've recently moved out of state and had to cancel my services, and even then, I received the best kind of treatment a customer could ask for. I would highly recommend his agency to anyone who's looking for home and/or auto insurance.
