Mike Scheafer – State Farm Insurance Agent

I am a big fan of Mike’s.
I initially used him when I had a summer internship and had to rent a car for the summer. Getting insurance for a rental car for the summer ended up being a difficult task– most insurance companies had no idea how to help me out, but I didn’t want to go with the rental car company’s insurance because that would add over $ 20 to the cost of rental per day, which adds up quickly. When I talked to Mike he said it was no problem, found a product to cover my needs, and I had the policy within a day or 2.
When I later got a permanent job from the place I interned at, the service was just as excellent. I had actually forgotten about him until I needed renter’s insurance in order to move into my new apartment. I initially called the local Irvine State Farm agent (because I also have auto through SF) and other renter’s insurance companies.
The State Farm quote was cheapest, but the Irvine agent was SUPER annoying and very high pressured about selling me other insurance products. I couldn’t actually talk to the agent, only her assistant, and they kept saying they would send proof of insured status asap before I signed up. However, once the sale was made they were completely unresponsive and wouldn’t fax anything to my apartment complex. Of course, that was a big problem since I needed it to move in.
And then, thankfully, I thought about Mike. I called him up and voila! He took care of everything. I transferred the policy to him, and he immediately faxed proof of insured status to my apartment. Crisis was averted and I moved in on my scheduled date.
I also found him very helpful when I had a small auto incident.
If you have State Farm and are in the OC area, I would highly recommend having Mike as your agent. He is super nice, very responsive, and knows what he is talking about.
