Policyholder Review №1

Thank you Tracy and Allan for taking care us! We have multiple policies with them and know they really have our best interest at heart. They are personable and truly get to know us as individuals.

Policyholder Review №2

Alan and his team are top notch. They have provided insurance for multiple residential, commercial and multi-family properties for us, and they are incredibly easy to work with. In particular, I appreciate their excellent communication skills and follow through. You can't go wrong using this State Farm office.

Policyholder Review №3

Here’s the deal: We’d been with one agent at State Farm for decades. Then he retired and we wanted a personal relationship with a new agent. State Farm assigned us one whom we decided NOT to choose. We wanted to do research into a local team who could fulfill our requirements for our priories: 1.Excellent service ✅ 2. More than one team member in office ✅ 3.Take enough time to fully explain coverage options ✅ 4.NO up-selling b/c we only want to purchase coverage that is good value and applies to our needs ✅ 5.Last but hardly least, have a user friendly relationship with ALL agents on the team ✅✅

While we were absolutely wedded to our former agent and were NOT looking forward to the change, the Alan Chan team has been a perfect fit for ALL our insurance needs… AND we’re still in the honeymoon phase of this business relationship, even though it’s been quite a number of years that they’ve represented us. Amazing team of efficient, helpful, cordial, smart and savvy insurance representatives. And they’re “young” enough for us to feel secure that they’ll be in business till WE expire. Highly recommend!

Policyholder Review №4

I have known Alan Chan and his team have been serving my family and business needs for over 20 years! HIs team provide excellent service but they excel when something goes wrong and you need their services. Alan's team is exceptional, highly competent and prompt! Tracy, one of Alan's team leads, is someone who has consistently provided me with great service, timely information and has solved many of my problems!

Policyholder Review №5

I've been with Alan since I was 16 years old and always feel taken care of. His team is extremely responsive and would highly recommend him to any and all of my friends and family.

Policyholder Review №6

We have been working with Alan Chan’s office for over a decade and have always been impressed by his team’s exceptional service. We have our business, home, auto, and life insurance policies with State Farm. Alan and his team have helped us navigate all of life’s milestones (marriage, children, entrepreneurship, and home ownership) with attention to detail and care. When we were in a car accident earlier this year, Alan and his team helped us through every step of the process and went above and beyond to make sure that we were informed and advocated for along the way. You’re in great hands with Alan and team!

Policyholder Review №7

I've been with Alan Chan's office for well over a decade. I recently wanted to review my coverage after moving. Tracy was amazingly helpful, and patiently went through all the options to determine the right kind of coverage for me. Many Thanks!

Policyholder Review №8

Hard to believe but I've been with Alan Chan and team for over 20 years across multiple policies. I've always relied on them for advice and great support and they've never let me down. Highly recommend them as part of your support network!

Policyholder Review №9

Tracy was an absolute rock star working up an insurance plan for our condo. She knows the business cold, she's a delight to work with, and she got us a good deal.

Policyholder Review №10

I had the unfortunate experience of having multiple home burglaries during 2023. I have never experienced any form of intrusion in my life so having multiple incidents had been quite disturbing and traumatic. I was extremely fortunate to have an agent like Alan with a dedicated team that actually cares about the welfare of their clients. He and his team (Tracy Allio) went over and above to provide exceptional service and support to assist in the process to provide coverage continuity after my very unpleasant experience and loss. This very competent and seasoned team lobbied so that I could not only receive the insurance benefit I have been paying for over many years, but continue to maintain coverage. I truly appreciate their efforts and any policy holder would be fortunate to work with this talented team to address your insurance needs.

Policyholder Review №11

Recently got a car and had no clue about setting up insurance. I stopped by Alan Chan’s StateFarm office to learn more about which policy fits my needs. Kyle, representative at this office was super helpful and walked me through each line of coverage.

From this experience, not only did I learn about what I’m paying, I got to learn more about the coverage that I have. This office won’t oversell you coverage you don’t need. They are honest and have genuine interest in their client.

I highly recommend people to book an appointment with this office if you want to learn more about insurance coverage you need.

Exceptional client service. I walked out the office with confidence and got to learn more about my coverage that I’m super satisfied with!

Ask for Kyle Chan! You won’t regret his service.

Policyholder Review №12

Very helpful

Policyholder Review №13

Tracy Allio has been amazing. She is responsive, thorough, explains options, and follows up. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

Policyholder Review №14

"I just wanted to say that Alan was really helpful! He was super prompt, easy to work with, and answered all of my questions about filing claims."

Policyholder Review №15

The staff at Alan Chan State Farm were very supportive and helped me sort out my claim after my car was stolen. They’ve insured our family for more than 30 years.

Policyholder Review №16

Really appreciate the claims investigator digging into the facts of the situation surrounding a recent minor fender bender. As a result of her due diligence, fault is shared equally between the parties as I believed it should have been instead of being entirely on me.

Great follow-up!

Policyholder Review №17

I've been a client with Alan Chan's office for more than 20 years, and they have been incredibly helpful. Everyone in the office is kind and knowledgable and truly cares about clients.

Policyholder Review №18

Tracy is an OUTSTANDING insurance agent. She really knows her stuff, clearly has the best interest of her clients at heart, and responds to emails and calls in a timely manner. Really couldn't recommend working with her more!

Policyholder Review №19

For the past 25 years Alan, his father and now Kyle covered my personal and business needs. They were always responsive, concerned about my needs and a pleasure to work with through the years.

When I moved out of state this year they assisted in closing the policies and worked with my new insurer.

I would highly recommend them!

Policyholder Review №20

Have multiple policies via Alan and his State Farm office. I trust Alan and team, and reach out for consultation before making decisions that could have an insurance impact. His team- Wendy, Tracy, Tiffany, et al have been great to work with and are always very responsive. Happy client.

Policyholder Review №21

We've had the pleasure of working with Tracy Barrantes-Allio for the past 15+ years. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. We love both her and State Farm!

Policyholder Review №22

Alan and team are truly the best. We have been covered by them for years and they have always been a dream to work with.

Policyholder Review №23

Wendy has been incredibly helpful and quick to respond with all of my questions. And able to get us covered very fast as we worked through a new car purchase.

Policyholder Review №24

I have worked with Alan and his team (Including Tracy and Tiffany) for over a decade across home (previously renters), earthquake, auto, umbrella and other policies. Their service and advice are top notch, ensuring appropriate coverage without overcharging. They are always able to be competitive on price as well. Hard to imagine moving our family's needs to anywhere else!

Policyholder Review №25

Absolutely went the extra mile to secure favorable terms for my earthquake coverage. Spectacular work from Alan and his team. Been using them for all my insurance needs (home, auto, motorcycle) since sometime in the 90s, no regrets.

Policyholder Review №26

Alan Chan and his team have protected our family for over 2 decades - the help, support and information they provide is invaluable and they have made a daily positive impact on our lives.

Policyholder Review №27

Alan Chan and his staff were extremely helpful to my husband, Gary, and I during a time that we needed guidance in caring for his parents' affairs. They came through with flying colors!

Policyholder Review №28

Worked with Kyle who provided a lot of great advice around auto policies. He was transparent and easy to work with. When we later cancelled the policy, Kyle didn't make us jump through any hoops or give us a hard time. Very sincere staff and would work with them again.

Policyholder Review №29

Tracy Allio at Alan Chan and State Farm has been wonderful to work with - she came highly recommended by our realtor because of her deep expertise in San Francisco-specific needs and she didn't disappoint. Tracy gave me very helpful advice as I was looking into homeowners, auto and umbrella policies. She clearly has a ton of expertise, takes the time to understand each client's situation and provides a very responsive and high quality service. She spent a lot of time ensuring I had the coverage I needed for the best price. She gets it and gets things done - I highly recommend her as she is my go-to insurance agent!

Policyholder Review №30

Alan has been our agent for many years. My daughter (and her roommates) were moving to New York City (international students from three different countries) to continue their studies at NYU and needed a renter's policy on very short notice to satisfy their new apartment lease requirements. We did not know what to do given we had no contacts for this type of insurance in NYC. Alan again helped us by connecting us with his longterm colleague (Kevin Leong) in NYC. Kevin then provided us fantastic service and secured the policy we needed on very short notice (he did this on a Friday night). We could not be happier with Alan (and Kevin) for taking such good care of us and so quickly. We highly recommend him!

Policyholder Review №31

You need insurance needs.please call this office they have excellent customer service.i will tell all my friends.Thanks for all your help

Policyholder Review №32

Alan Chan has been our insurance agent for awhile (auto, home, life, etc). He is a great adviser and so responsive in helping us with all the Q&As. And we have encountered many situations that require his timely guidance. He is professional, patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend him.

Policyholder Review №33

Excellent people with excellent service

Policyholder Review №34

Our Integra was parked in SFO long term lot while we attended an out-of-state wedding. We came back to find our catalytic converter was stolen!! We got towed back to the City to Hayes Auto where our excellent mechanic Joe Ng got on it immediately. Meanwhile, we contacted our insurer, State Farm, whose claims department gave us clear and detailed instructions on filing the claim. Aileen of Alan's team made sure our Police report and parking receipt were properly forwarded to Claims to complete the opened claim. We are completely satisfied with State Farm's rapid handling, approving and payment of our claim. From our agent (Alan, Kyle, Aileen) to Claims to Hayes Auto, they worked together seamlessly and rapidly to get our car repaired and running. Thanks again again State Farm!! For you travelers, please don't park at SFO long term lot. They're not secure. We had nothing in the cab of the car, yet because SFO long term lot espouses "contactless parking", there are no eyes on who enters or exits, so your cars aren't safe! Go patronize another,more secure lot, have someone drop you off, or don't go at all. Better safe than sorry. Joel

Policyholder Review №35

Alan Chan and State Farm stepped up for us when we needed help. My family and I were the victims of a lawsuit claiming "wrongful eviction" and "harassment". The tenants had moved out (not evicted) over six months earlier and were demanding $725k, through a lawyer they found. My elderly parents (in their late 80's) were named, along with me. The tenants had moved from a unit in my parents' duplex; my wife and I lived in our own single family house. My parents had Farmers Insurance; and my wife and I have State Farm. This is when you find out what insurance company you can count on, and which insurance rep has your back.

Farmers said my parents had not purchased the right coverage to be protected against such a lawsuit. My parents had insured the duplex with Farmers for almost 50 years, and had always rented out one unit while living in the other. All their Farmers reps over the years knew this. Meanwhile, ten years earlier, Alan Chan had asked my wife if we had any tenants in our single family house. When Alan learned that we did, he recommended that we add an additional coverage that would protect us against tenant claims. The coverage was only an additional $16 premium. That additional $16 premium provided us with the financial backing of State Farm and access to their lawyers, to protect me in this lawsuit. State Farm took on the case even though the tenants were not my tenants. Furthermore, State Farm's lawyers managed to resolve the case without dragging my elderly parents into stressful depositions, whereas Farmers abandoned the case. All along the way, Alan Chan demonstrated an interest in our case and was always there to provide support.

I have told family members about Alan's office and State Farm. So far, they have moved 3 homeowner policies over to Alan. My family members and I have had many conversations with Alan over the past year. We have found him to be knowledgeable, honest and forthcoming. My wife tells me that this is a family business that Alan had taken over from his father many years ago. I believe that Alan runs his business for the long run and provides high value and excellent service for his customers. We have only had a few interactions with Alan's staff but have found them all to be polite and diligent. I would encourage anyone with insurance needs to give Alan's office a call and judge for yourself.

Policyholder Review №36

Alan and his team are the best! We've been with them for years and years. You hope you won't need to talk with them but when you do, they are responsive, communicative, and always helpful. Highly recommend!!

Policyholder Review №37

We have been with the Chan Agency for 24 years and have always received excellent service. They are proactive, professional, and exceptionally friendly. We recommend them highly!

Policyholder Review №38

I was referred to Alan's office from my past Seattle agent when I moved back to CA. Everyone at Alan's office is kind, professional and responsive. Shout out to Kyle- he is my main point of contact here and always answers every question I have in detail and gets my policies in order in a timely manner. Thank you Kyle! Would definitely recommend this office. Reliable, fast, and great customer service.

Policyholder Review №39

Very happy for many years of excellent customer service. Thanks Alan!

Policyholder Review №40

My husband and I have had a great experience here. We have had their car insurance and recently added rental insurance. We have been happy customers for the last 5+ years and recently just referred another family member and they are very happy as well. Tracy has been consistently helpful and kind, answering our (many) questions and always responding quickly. I highly recommend for all insurance needs!

Policyholder Review №41

Quickly received a quote and policy for a non-owners car insurance. Wendy and team were made a complicated topic easy to understand and got my policy up and running within a day!

Policyholder Review №42

It was my first time working with Wendy and she replied promptly to questions and provided useful information. She was professional and great to work with.

Policyholder Review №43

Alan has been my agent since 2001. His service has always been excellent and the policy prices very good. He goes above and beyond to help his clients out. I have recommended him to many friends in the past and definitely suggest you contact him for your insurance needs.

Policyholder Review №44

Excellent service of all your insurance needs. Very good group of people to work with.

Policyholder Review №45

Alan and his team are always so helpful and responsive (even during Covid). They are friendly and knowledgeable, making sure to answer all my questions and explaining all processes. Alan has been my agent for many years and I hope many more to cone!

Policyholder Review №46

Alan has been my insurance agent for decades. He's responsive and proactive, great to work with. And when our house burned in the 2017 fires, he and State Farm were there for us.

Policyholder Review №47

I have been a customer of Alan's for several years, and I most recently worked with Matthew Machado to set up a new policy. He was very flexible to set up time to talk to walk through questions and was extremely responsive by email. I highly recommend working with them.

Policyholder Review №48

We have been with Alan Chan State Farm Insurance for over 10 years. Can't say enough about how they take care of business, quick response and Tracy Barrantes-Allio rocks! She always takes care of us no matter time or day. Thank you!

Policyholder Review №49

I have been a very satisfied customer of Alan Chan's State Farm Insurance Agency for over 30 years. Alan and his staff have provided auto insurance, homeowner's insurance, and HOA insurance with professionalism, efficiency, and excellent advice. More than that, Alan, and his father George before that, have helped me through challenging HOA situations with a difficult co-owner in our two unit condominium building. I recommend Alan Chan for your insurance needs with no reservations.

Policyholder Review №50

We want to give Alan Chan and his team 100 stars! We have been with them for over 10 years now and they are the best and professional. We have Auto, Life, Home, and Rental insurance with Statefarm and when ever we have needed to write a claim the steps are easy and everyone so helpful. Thank you.

Policyholder Review №51

Everyone here is helpful and friendly. They all work to help you save money and make moving less painful.

Policyholder Review №52

I have been working with Alan for over 12 years with both personal condo insurance and our HOA, and it has been a pleasure. He is incredibly responsive to questions and requests, as well as supportive about any changes to either policy. Alan is well informed regrading any questions that arise, including short term rental insurance. He is a dynamic professional with great integrity and we feel lucky to work with him.

Policyholder Review №53

Don't use this company. High rates and questionable accounting policies. They will deduct money from your account and tell you check is in the mail. This will never happen. I am out $3K on my accounts that are unaccountable. There's no digital payment options and they overwhelm you with bills for multiple policies. You are better off with an other company. This is borderline fraudulent. Beware

Policyholder Review №54

I am sad to be leaving Alan Chan's State Farm branch. The only reason is because we moved. I have been with this company for about 25 years and have watched it grow exponentially over that time... it's because of their amazing dedication to their customer! I've never experienced such excellent customer service from any other company in any business setting. THANK U ALL! I will miss u!!

Policyholder Review №55

Tracy and Alan are always responsive and helpful. Great team!

Policyholder Review №56

I have been a customer of Alan Chan and Tracy Allio for over a decade (specifically over 14 years). Tracy and Alan have always taken very good care of me as a customer. As a result, I have transferred all of my insurance needs to Tracy's care. Through my first decade with State Farm under Tracy and Alan's care, my service satisfaction has always been high while my premiums dropped due to my being a good customer (not having any incidents). Even when I did have some not-at-fault incident such as being rear-ended by another car, Tracy was able to quickly take care of things for me, and I never have any issue getting the resolution I wanted. Recently, State Farm had to increase its price, and Alan/Tracy did not sugarcoat and explained the situations in full to me. In fact, soon after, Tracy helped me correct one of my premiums. I appreciate the way Alan and Tracy take good care of their customers while keeping in mind that their reputation with their customers is most important. I will continue to stay with Tracy and Alan due to their great services!

Policyholder Review №57

We have been working with Alan since 2012 and have entrusted him with all of our insurance needs. Alan and his team are extremely professional. Alan is an expert in the insurance field and provides customer oriented solutions depending on your personal situation. We highly recommend Alan!

Policyholder Review №58

Wendy recently helped me secure an auto insurance policy and was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

I have a few insurance policies with this office, and am very pleased with their service, rates, and insurance plan options.

Policyholder Review №59

Policyholder Review №60

I have been working with Tracy Allio/State Farm for nearly 20 years and am a very satisfied customer! Her attention to detail, excellent customer service, and in-depth knowledge of CA insurance policies is superb. Highly recommend!

Policyholder Review №61

I've been Alan's customer for 10 years. I thought insurance was something you bought from the Internet. Alan thought me the value of having agent on your side. All in all, this is a very courteous team and they return my emails and calls within minutes.

Policyholder Review №62

I am President of the HOA of a five unit building on Russian Hill. I don't know a great deal about insurance, but was concerned about our building's longstanding policy with another company.

I called Alan to see what his firm could offer. He patiently explained to me that our policy was in fact a good one, explaining the details of the other carrier's coverage.

So even though he wouldnt get the businss, Alan was very professional and helpful, putting the customer first. I appreciate it. Worth 5 stars.

Policyholder Review №63

Policyholder Review №64

Alan Chan and his group are always so helpful and responsive. Whenever there is an issue or a need, the entire staff is very prompt, efficient, and friendly. I have personally worked with Alan, Laura, Sally, and Matthew, all of whom are very good at what they do. Also, my parents were clients of Alan's father. This State Farm team is HIGHLY recommended!

Policyholder Review №65

Searching for insurance coverage is never easy. I called around to several different “big name” companies and was directed to a call center, where there were long wait times to get a quote, I given less than stellar service, and my questions were not fully answered.

Just when I was about to give up and settle for one of these other companies, on the recommendation of a friend, I called State Farm and I was immediately directed to a local office in the area where I was seeking an insurance policy. I had the pleasure of speaking with Wendy, one of the local agents who answered all my questions and immediately got me a quote. The total cost was far less than other quotes I had received, with more coverage included. Wendy answered all of my follow-up questions and helped me get quickly setup.

Since then, I’ve had numerous other questions, which Wendy has been quick to answer. The people you interact with always make a huge impact. Wendy’s cheery demeanor, positivity, and efficiency definitely leads me to fully recommend working with this State Farm office.

Policyholder Review №66

We have been State Farm clients for at least 20 years. Alan and his team have done a remarkable job of addressing a wide arrange of our insurance needs: auto, home, earthquake, business insurance and umbrella policies. Alan is well-informed. He and his agents are always quick to respond to questions and are courteous and patient in going over everything from technical issues to complex policies. I greatly appreciate Alan's candor. He doesn't try to sell you a policy. He and his team truly seek their client's best interest. I highly recommend giving them an opportunity to help keep you covered.
