"I had been a State Farm customer for 30 years, but with a different agent (one closer to where I live). I rarely heard from that agent and didn't feel comfortable asking questions about my coverage. A few months ago I switched to Paulina's agency, and the difference has been amazing. Brian, Cathy and Paulina have all checked in with me regularly, explaining new laws regarding coverage, advising me about upgrades I had done in my home, and helping get our adult children lined up with the coverage they need. I actually feel GOOD about my insurance now, and I know I have exactly what I need. I am so glad I switched!"

"I began using Paulina at State Farm 30 years ago for my car and condo coverage because my parents spoke highly of and insured with her. I’m still there today. Brian Burns who I usually work with is extremely responsive and answers my questions in an understandable way. I can’t imagine how anyone could get better service than through this State Farm office."

"i have used Paulina McDonald and her team for close to 30 years. Started with liability insurance for my small business, auto, home owners and then she suggested a long-term-care policy. I had only about 4 claims over the years including a home invasion and collision. All claims were handled totally fast, professionally and fair. Highly recommend this agent."

"I have worked with Paulina McDonald since I moved to the Bay in 2013, and they have been nothing short of fantastic. I have auto, homeowner’s, and umbrella policy insurance with State Farm thanks to them. I feel she and her staff go the extra mile to make me feel like I am personally cared for. They were especially proactive in helping me successfully complete a claim in 2016 for a totaled car, because I was having major difficulty communicating directly with the claims department. I fully recommend Paulina McDonald and vouch for her team’s expertise in a wide variety of insurance products and needs."
