The process to switch insurance to Insurance Innovations, Inc was very easy. Tim guided me through the process and provided different quotes. All decisions were up to me and I never felt pressured to make specific choices. Tim made recommendations that were very helpful and beneficial. I did have a couple claims, and that process was very smooth too. Tim initiated them and followed up throughout the process. I'm glad we made the switch.

I switched over to Tim/Insurance Innovations 4-years ago after 20+ years with American Family. At that time, Tim provided a thorough review of my coverage, suggested needed changes, and lowered my premium cost considerably. Since that time Tim has provided outstanding and timely service. Tim is very knowledgeable and works very hard to meet his client’s needs. I highly recommend Tim to assist you with your auto/home/umbrella policy needs.

We switched our personal lines of insurance to Insurance Innovations earlier this year. Tim spent time learning about our insurance needs, including our previous usage. He was able to use that knowledge to find us extremely competitive rates compared to the increase our current carrier wanted to implement. In addition, Tim brought to our attention a processing error by our prior carrier that resulted in a $1,000 deductible being returned to us! We look forward to having him quote on our small business insurance this year as well. Highly recommend!

Insurance Innovations (Tim Chopp) has been our agent for the last number of years. When our family was growing and cars being added Tim was always available with his insight and how best to handle any changes that needed to be made. Tim responds to our calls in a timely fashion and reviews the renewal policies when they come in to see if any changes can be made to ensure the best policy for the best cost.

I moved all my insurance needs (Business, Home and Auto) over to Tim Chopp at Insurance Innovations after I bought my business. First: I saved a good amount of money. (which everybody loves) Second: His knowledge and advice was greatly appreciated. Especially on the business insurance, being that I was a new to all the ins and outs of business insurance. He took the time to explain every aspect. His response time is very prompt, to every question and concern I have ever had. Thanks Tim

Tim has been my agent for several years and has provided excellent service. My kids have been in multiple accidents and has always been helpful with walking me through the claim process and always very responsive when I reach out. I also appreciate that he is looking out for me in that he makes sure I have the appropriate coverage at reasonable prices.

I have been with Doug Hansen & Associates for 2 years. I moved to then after I reviewed over 10 different insurance companies rates for auto and home. They had the best rates & have been great to work with!

I've had Doug Hansen & Associates for close to 10 years. It started out with auto insurance. Once I got my home, I stayed with them. I have an Acuity Insurance Policy with them. My rates are awesome.

Very creative and easy to work with "digitally", I rarely (if ever) have needed to go to the office. Everything has been done on line or via email / phone calls. Best part is that my rates have consistently gone down with the company they helped me to find. With my previous insurance provider there was an increase at least annually and sometimes more often than that due to "overall losses" the company incurred which had to be shared among ALL policy holders (even IF I had no claims at all....). I would highly recommend Doug Hansen and Associates to anyone looking for good quality support and effective coverage.....(I can't guarantee rate decreases like I have experienced, but I can say that it is what I have experienced).

I went to Doug Hansen several years ago after handling my own insurance needs directly with the insurance company. DH and Staff found me better insurance at a more competitive price. When I needed to change insurance companies because my current company would not insure property up north, DH and Staff set me up with another national company and they handled all of the phone calls and paperwork. I can stop in anytime for personal service and they are always available to render advice via e mail or phone calls.

I could not be happier with them. They know me and my insurance needs, and provide outstanding customer service.

I've enjoyed their responsive customer service. They are a small and friendly agency that truly knows their customers. Nobody is "just a number" at Doug Hansen Insurance.

I have been with Doug Hansen & Associates for years. Everyone there has always been courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. Every year when the insurance goes up I have them price around and try to find something cheaper and they're really willing to do that without hesitation. The transitions when I bought new vehicles went really well they just make it easy and they all are very honest with their customers. I get a kick out of the happy birthday and Merry Christmas recording that I receive each year! Everyone is really great to work with and I appreciate that.

I have used Doug Hansen Insurance for many years now both thanks to my parents and their existing relationship and also because the insurance is just great. They make the process thorough and easy to understand, and any time I move, they made adjustments to my policy and paperwork in a very timely manner. They are super friendly and caring as well. =) Thank you!

Doug reviewed our insurance needs for property and auto in 2015 and replaced our coverage with better policies and a substantial reduction in our premiums! This was timely since I was retiring and needed the expense savings. He also helped me to understand the complicated Medicare world and got me the right Advantage C plan to fit my needs. He and his staff have always been friendly and promptly answered my questions. I recommend this firm for your insurance needs.

I have nothing but praise for Doug Hansen and Associates. They always go the extra mile and have never been anything but professional and extremely helpful. No fear calling them a 5 star company

chuck Z.

17:51 26 Jan 18

Doug Hansen & Associates has been great! After my last awesome agent at a different company retired, I was automatically transferred to a rude lady that judged me and expressed her opinions about my personal records. I called around to try to find a company that would help me understand my insurance needs and was friendly. Doug Hansen & Associates have exceeded those expectations. I have been able to work with them via phone and email which is convenient for me and they helped me decide the perfect coverage. They have been friendly and accommodating throughout. I recommended them to my parents who made the switch and I would recommend them to anyone else too.

Nicole S.

17:36 26 Jan 18

Doug Hansen has provided me great service for all of my insurance needs. This has included home, cars, motorcycle, and umbrella policy for my rentals. Fast and easy with a realistic price! Thanks Doug and everyone else at Doug Hanson and associates!!

We chose Doug Hansen & Associates a few years back on a whim trying to find new agent who would help us get better rates. Not only did they do that, they were personable, professional, always friendly and responsive. Needless to say we're still with them and very grateful for their excellent customer service!

They have always been helpful in the past. Nice people. Very helpful when needed. I do need to contact them again to go over our current insurance to make sure we are on track.

Mary S.

20:28 16 Nov 17

Doug and his staff are always helpful and knowledgeable. They have saved me money on insurance on multiple occasions. Even if you think you know how to shop rates and get the best deal, I would recommend you give them a shot. I was with him when he was a state farm agent, but now he has more flexibility to tailor insurance via multiple companies and easily beat up on his old employers rates.

Paul K.

20:06 16 Nov 17

Doug and his staff have been delightful and painless to work with. They are extremely competent, professional, trustworthy, and ethical. We have been extremely satisfied with their service and coverage provided. We met Doug for the first time as a prospective client and left as "friends"!

Michael D.

15:13 07 Nov 17

We have been customers with Doug and the team for a couple of years now. They always answer our questions timely and provide great support to us. They did a great job of explaining all of our different insurance options. We ended up getting more insurance for less than what we were paying with a different company. We have been very satisfied.

I have been doing business with Doug for years! His whole team is very knowledgeable and quick to respond. I have never had to wait more than 12 hours for any kind of response. Most of my communication is via email, which is very helpful in this crazy world! They will take the time to shop prices and make sure you are protected the way you should be - not more than you need, but certainly enough to protect you and your family. I would highly recommend his team for your insurance needs!

Doug worked with me to revamp my home owners, auto, and business insurance; saving me hundreds of dollars. Doug got to know me personally so he could tailor the insurance to my needs and even dropped-off paper work at my house to expedite the process. I have already recommended Doug to many of my friends!
