The reviews here are fake. Look up other reviews on different sites. All in the 2 to 3 star range.

I have multiple problems with FHIA...

1. If your policy cancels they will not notify you. They will not take responsibility for lack of communication. According to NYS's website, an agency is responsible for all communication through the insurance provider...

2. They do not care about their insureds, they care about the sale to make commission.

3. They will provide you with the cheapest rate and the worst coverage possible.

4. They will not explain to you how your policy is without you asking specific questions (and if you don't have insurance experience... Good luck filing a claim when you actually need the coverage)

DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!

THIS PLACE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!

Policyholder Review №4

In my humble and honest opinion, Mr. Brandon Blood is the best person I ever met in insurance business he took care of all of my problems and issues with laughter and grace. I pray that others bump into him along their way. I have two vehicles insured through first Heritage. I would only go to first Heritage with many more God willing commercial and personal insurance.

Policyholder Review №5

Their team helped me within an find a great quote exactly what I needed, sent over all my information quickly. I seriously couldn't be happier! Seriously if you're looking for a policy give them a call you will not be disappointed!

Policyholder Review №6

My guy Brandon Blood is not only professional but he a very real honest person looking out for the best for his clients I been in communication with him for years for any of my insurance needs and he always has the same attitude and is always down to help. Thank you sir!

Policyholder Review №7

Very easy to work with, specifically regarding insurance for a nonprofit which is diffcult to find!

Policyholder Review №8

I am overwhelmed with appreciation!!!!!!!!!! From the very 1st hello Tiffany has made me feel like she was here to help me. I had 2 days to receive car insurance and was desperately looking for a carrier that would not charge me close to my mortgage payment. I thank God for helping me find Tiffany at First Heritage Insurance. Even as I write this review I shake my head with tears in my eyes because she was so kind, so patience, so understanding, and so compassionate to my situation. Tiffany thank you again and may God bless you in your life as you have helped and blessed others.

I have been searching for limited liability insurance for quite a while now and the only quotes I could find for my business were upwards of $1,000. I was ready to give up until I spoke with Marie Alfieri from First Heritage. I don't' recall the last time I spoke with a customer service rep who was so motivated to help me! She was friendly and easy going. Initially she could only find a quote that wasn't in my budget. I hung up disappointed. A few minutes later she called me back- she had done more research and found a policy for 1/10th of the cost! She processed it immediately and I thought we were good to go. Unfortunately, on of my providers needed super specific details added to the policy. After every change was made they would email me with another requirement. Throughout this process Marie was patient and understanding and even though it was a supreme annoyance- got everything done in less than an hour. Highly recommend!

Policyholder Review №10

I've been looking for a general liability insurance policy for my nonprofit organization for over 2 weeks. I was being bounced around from different carriers, looking to get a quote, several carriers weren't returning emails. Until Marie from First Heritage Insurance Agency called me and was able to get me a quote, collect payment and make an endorsement to the policy all within minutes. She is extremely professional and I'm looking forward with working with her and First Heritage Insurance Agency going forward. Thanks Marie!

My insurance is higher then its ever been with them

Policyholder Review №13

Got dropped by my insurance company and had to search for new insurance. I had the pleasure of dealing with Tiffany. She helped me beyond expectations and even after hours since my insurance was expiring that same day and I didn't want a lapse in coverage. She quoted me $5,000 cheaper than my previous broker for the same insurance who I was with for many years and with multiple insurances. Thank you so much.

Policyholder Review №15

Horrible experience with ridiculous rates that's insane to even fathom

Policyholder Review №16

Most of these reviews must be fake bc there rates were high and the women on the phone didnt seem to want my business in the first place

Policyholder Review №17

My name is Juan Carlos Diaz, from Buffalo, New York, I am new to New York state's complicated car insurance system. However, I spoke with Brandon Blood of First Heritage Insurance and he simplified the process for me. I was on the verge of collapse and having no car insurance. Mr. Blood was patient, knowledgeable, explained all the process and cut my cost by $5000.00 dollars annually. I am a believer of Brandon and I will be his loyal client for years to come. If you have family or friends who car insurance and needs a friend in the business, then Brandon Blood is your man (Insurance Broker). I give Brandon Blood 10 out of 10 stars. Call him, he will help you.

Policyholder Review №18

My agent was Brandon Blood and boy did he jump through some hoops for my mother. She had just moved, was in the hospital and her previous policy had lapsed. In other words, it was a mess. Brandon was able to walk us through every step we needed, I would definitely see Brandon for any insurance needs!! Thank you again Brandon 👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Amazing and seamless experience working with Sebastian Corrales. In under 24 hours I was given multiple quotes, found a great rate and had a homeowners insurance policy in my inbox. Thanks again!

Policyholder Review №22

I first used them back in April of 2023 when my insurance company dropped me. Taylor did a wonderful job going above and beyond. Then I recently bought a motorcycle and had the pleasure of dealing with Sebastian.. again just a great experience. Got me the best rates and was available for any and all questions I had.. great staff and the best rates around.. 5 stars all the way!!

Policyholder Review №23

Brandon is not just a great insurance broker, he is a great person. he really saved the day for me. He got me insurance that was $400 less a month than the quote I was able to receive. He helped me so much that I will be sharing his information with everyone I know so that they can experience the peace of mind that I have received due to him!!!

Policyholder Review №24

I was referred by my best friend , and once I called in I received good customer service. I was assigned to Brandon as my agent and he was really great .

Policyholder Review №36

So far so good. Started an auto policy and the process was very easy. Saved $$$ compared to my previous plan. I worked with Taylor. She is very attentive and a pleasure to work with.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I had a great experience when it came to getting auto insurance, My agent Taylor was very informative and worked with me and my fiance to make sure we got the best quote possible, If anyone is looking to get insured I highly recommend using First Heritage Insurance Agency.

Brandon Blood was not only extremely friendly and courteous but took the extra time to explain every detail and make sure that I felt comfortable before choosing any insurance plan. He truly goes above and beyond and I highly recommend choosing FHIA when trying to find the best personalized insurance plan!!! 10 out of 10 service and experience!!!

Policyholder Review №41

Pleasant to speak with! Would recommend!

Policyholder Review №42

I was helped by Taylor Chappell with FHIA, and the experience couldn’t have been better! She helped me go through the motions and she did a lot on her end to help get the policy I needed. I’m finally ready to get back on the road now, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you Taylor!!

Policyholder Review №43

WHOA!! where do I start? I literally ran my info through an online quote search engine and out of about 50 phone calls somehow this company got me on the phone. I was already having a bad life and Brandon (my new spirit animal) literally made my entire day brighter. He talked to me like I was human and never degraded me or dismissed me after I told him about a recent car accident. He was genuine, fair, and very helpful! He related to me and listened. He went above and beyond to find me a solution and instantly built trust in the short time I was on the phone with him.

The level of customer service is phenominal and they got me a good rate even after a recent accident. Im excited to work with first heritage and Im grateful for FINALLY being spoken to like my existence is worthy (very important given how low I was feeling when I first got on the call) despite my recent interactions with other insurance companies.

I truly found a diamond in the rough. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING BRANDON!! and THANK YOU heritage for teaching your employees that compassion, communication, and empathy are more influential than logistics and laws.

New york insurance is awful enough, but thanks to First Heritage, its more tolerable.

THANK YOU!!!

And give Brandon a promotion!😊

Policyholder Review №44

THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE BROKER I HAVE MET !!!VERY HELPFUL AND FOLLOWS THRU WITH WHAT YOU CALLED ABOUT.

Policyholder Review №45

I was actually very surprised!! The representative I spoke with Brandon was very pleasant and explained what his part was in finding me the best quote. He explained things that were never told to me in the past and answered all of my questions. I know I can reach out to him at any time with any questions or concerns.
😃 Thanks Brandon

Policyholder Review №46

My experience with the lovely Yvonne Pacheco was honestly amazing. For this to be my first car, she was great help at explaining the difference coverage options and finding the best in budget option for me. 🫶🏽 i truly love Yvonne just from this one encounter, i will refer everyone i know to First Heritage insurance agency all because of Yvonne. PLSS give her a raise for me and all the other customers she has helped in the past, we all know she deserves it. 💕 And thank you again Yvonne for all your help

Policyholder Review №47

Brandon Blood is our new insurance broker with First Heritage. He is personable, kind, knowledgeable and really helped us work out coverages that saved us so much more than what we’re paying now. So happy that I gave him our business and signed on with First Heritage.

Policyholder Review №48

I got a call from here about an auto insurance quote I asked about and was introduced to Brandon who was extremely thorough and friendly and helped me find the perfect policy for me and saving me over $250 a month. My experience with him was great he was super knowledgeable, very well versed in the insurance industry, and I could tell he actually wanted to help me unlike other agents who would’ve happily taken my money on insane premiums. I’m very glad that I was put into contact with this agency and will gladly be using their services from now to the foreseeable future.

Policyholder Review №49

Policyholder Review №52

I have had first heritage for over 2 1/2 years. They were recommended to me when I was purchasing my house & I can not express enough to anyone anywhere how incredible they are. They are so friendly, so helpful and always there to answer or help with any questions or concerns. They constantly reach out to me if there is an issue or change to any of my policies as well as always research to make sure I have the best coverage at the competitive rate. I have recommended a few people to them and they have all in return felt and said the same thing, no wonder they are 4.9 stars and now hopefully 5 stars. I wish I knew about them sooner but happy that I have them now

The agent I spoke to was very knowledgeable and kind. She was very helpful (without trying to sell me anything) and she did not make me feel unintelligent for my lack of knowledge pertaining to car insurance. Honestly, the customer service was half the reason I decided switch insurance companies (they price difference being the other half of my reason.) Most pleasant insurance experience to date.

Policyholder Review №82

I had the best experience with Gene Faucella over at First Heritage. He was very accommodating and worked really fast to get my homeowners insurance coverage within a day. I would highly recommend!

Tiffany, the customer service representative I worked with, was absolutely phenomenal!! The old adage says "go the extra mile". Well Tiffany went "two miles" to help me!! She did much more than her job requires her to do in order to fight for me in my situation. I just had a total loss accident and my insurance company never told me about getting a Carco photo inspection. Therefore my insurance was set to expire in a matter of days. Tiffany was cordial and understanding and took action to get me the help I needed. Thanks Tiffany!!

I called First Heritage Insurance Agency, Rudy DeLarosa answered the phone. He was very kind and easy to talk to. I was in a rush to get homeowners insurance because of the mortgage broker. Rudy was very patient and kind and gave me the best possible quote all the while being very cheerful and friendly. he really put me at ease with everything. and I got my insurance binder done and paid for in less than 20 min. and that would have been shorter if I did not have to call the mortgage company. Rudy is a really great guy. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Frank Krill is outstanding.

After my car was totaled so many bureaucrats and agencies from the SCPD to two tow companies, a salvage yard, and of course the DMV were useless. One hand didn't seem to know what the other was doing, and they all blamed their fumbling on the pandemic.

Frank was not only knowledgeable and helpful but really patient and a truly prompt and effective communicator.

Total scam and unprofessional staff. If you need a good and affordable auto insurance, do not ever go to this place. I ended up paying twice as my previous auto insurance and I was not aware about it, I got to know that when I saw my bank statement. After that I tried to talk with them many times and all the time they passed the ball saying, the office closed, we called but I didn't answer, your agent is not at the office, we'll get back to you, these kind of irrelevant ignorance. Then I realized they are going to do this all the way down. I lost my money and they ripped me off so I quickly changed my auto insurance. First they give you false information to get your attention, they they start cheating you. Be aware

As a first time car owner and having to also purchase insurance for the first time as well, this was a great experience. Largely made possible by the representative at First Heritage who assisted me through the process. He spoke in layman's terms. He didn't bombard me with jargon native to his industry. I generally appreciate any professional who can speak plainly and clearly articulate complex matters to an audience who may not know the subject matter. Additionally he gave me the time and space to make decisions than trying to sign me up on something I wasn't ready for.
