The C. Don Filer Agency has served me extremely well for over 40 years. Their advice, when I was in my 20s, helped me understand the basics and set me on a path of paying attention to the critical part insurance plays during life. Their staff is super helpful, friendly and show a personal interest in understanding my needs. I especially appreciate their super quick response time. I recommend them as an excellent partner for all insurance needs. Oh, and they stay on top of market changes. They were even able to help me find health insurance on the State web site.

The C. Don Filer agency has been my insurance agent for several decades and I will keep coming back, and continue to recommend them to my friends. They are competent, friendly and have helped me save money.

The C. Don Filer Agency has handled my law firm's insurance requirements for more than 35 years. This includes providing my firm with ancillary services and products, such as appellate bonds, notary insurance coverage and notarial bonds. The C. Don Filer Agency also provided insurance coverage for me personally during at least the past 35 years, including insurance for my homes, autos, airplanes and the usual assortment of toys that require insurance.
While I'm at it I want to indicate that the person currently assigned to handle my business and personal insurance needs is Julie Ann Schroeder

I never knew the importance of having an insurance agent until I started having everything handled with Filer. It's amazing how well things flow and are monitored to give us the best coverage for our homes, vehicles, and boats. This team is amazing!

I was impressed how quickly Julie Ann Schroder was able to revise two insurance policies to give us better pricing with our insurance carrier. She knew exactly what questions to ask and was able to compute the costs of the policies. Time well spent.

We were so pleased that we could get quality insurance and still be able to save over $1,000 year. We dealt with this agency for our business insurance needs and are now using it for our personal insurance. They are very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We are happy!!!

HORRIBLE SERVICE. If I could give 0 stars I would, and there is one single person that has been so terrible that previous good service from this insurance provider has become a nightmare. I've never been harassed in my life to the extent that Julie Schroeder, one of their Insurance Executives, has harassed me.

Julie Schroeder emailed and called nearly 30 times over the course of 2 weeks demanding payment for a premium that I already paid. Stalkers don't even both you that much. And the tone was incredibly hostile with every conversation. She would not get off the phone without a

I always get prompt, friendly and thorough service from the C. Don Filer Agency, and have for decades now. They've taken care of my homeowner's and auto insurance, even before that when I had renter's insurance- over 25 years ago! Great customer service is becoming harder and harder to find. It's nice when you find a business where good things don't change with the times and go away. Thank you.

I have worked with Filer Insurance for several years when I was starting my business. Shari has been great to work with and took a lot of time to educate me on the types of coverage for a small business without making me feel rushed. She also follows up quickly and keeps me informed early of any upcoming changes.

I worked with David at Don Filer when my wife and I were having big struggles adequately navigating the WA health planner website for insurance. David displayed with ease why people often need a broker. I wasted so much time trying to do it myself and, in hindsight, realize I never would have been successful without his help. Insurance is complicated and a good broker can not only help you navigate the maze of options but also act as your advocate.

I can't recommend this agency highly enough. They were recommended to me years ago by a Safeco rep when I bought a policy online and needed some fine-tuning. I ended up switching all of our policies (auto, home, umbrella) over to them and I've gotten great service. Whenever we've had a life change (new car/solar panels/bought a rental) our agent has thoughtfully reviewed our package to make sure we're getting the best coverage, but not unnecessary coverage. Friendly, local business, love them!

We worked with Shari at C Don Filer to obtain General Commercial Liability insurance for our newly formed non-profit. Because we were so new, we had problems finding someone who would cover us at a reasonable rate. Shari worked with us over the phone and email and got our coverage taken care of in one day. We would highly recommend C Don Filer to any non-profit seeking GCL coverage.

I've had the exact same experience as the other reviewer. My agent retired - and, since then, the service has been very poor. I'm now looking for another agency.

My insurance agent retired, so i ended up with these guys. Unbelievable difficulty with email communication. If you have time to make a visit in person, go for it. Otherwise, pass.
