State Farm® Insurance Agent Mark Hoogs

"I’ve known Mark from the start of my career. He shaped my view of what a great agent is from day one. His integrity and commitment to doing what’s best for customers is unmatched. We’ve become good friends over the years!"

"Patient, practical, and generous with his time. He does the best thing I think a consumer could ask for: looks out for client interests first and foremost. Thanks to Mark and hope we can continue working together for many years."

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark Hoogs on a nonrenewal of homeowner's insurance situation for my condo that was really complex to unravel. I can honestly say that Mark is so adept, knowledgeable and exceedingly professional. He's also incredibly kind, empathetic and has a solutions-oriented mentality. Thanks to his guidance I was finally able to secure insurance - but it wouldn't have happened without Mark and his abundant insight and resources. I can't thank him enough for helping me through this stressful situation. I HIGHLY recommend Mark Hoogs for any insurance need you may have - he's truly one in a million."

"Mark Hoogs is an excellent communicator and teacher, as well as incredibly professional with taking care of our application for the CA FAIR Plan. He helped us navigate the challenges of obtaining homeowners insurance when we hit a dead end in obtaining coverage on our own. His continuous follow-up was much appreciated as well as his upbeat "can do" attitude. Thank you, Mark!"

"Mark Hoogs is a first class agent. He was friendly and thorough in understanding my insurance needs and tailoring my home and auto policies to the best "fit". I appreciated that he did not try to load me up with things I did not need. He demonstrated competence and integrity every step of the way. I would recommend his as good choice for an insurance agent."

"I have never met and an Insurance agent like Mark Hoogs. He is a dream come true. He cares and is honored to do what he is doing. He took the time to review my policies and explain things in a way that I can understand. He advised me not to change my home insurance because of what is happening with California. He showed me where I had weakness and the strengths of my current policy. I look forward to when State Farm is doing home insurance again so I can move all of my business to him."

"Very helpful and attentive personnel. Questions answered quickly and thoroughly. I'm very happy with the service. I have been with this agency since I purchased my home 13 years ago. I've always been very pleased with their service. I highly recommend them."

"After moving my insurance to Mark, we met on 2/22 in person and reviewed the coverages for a rental house I co-own. Mark advised multiple changes that I agreed with. He was so easy to work with and knowledgeable, my wife and I are going to move our personal coverages to his agency also."

"Mark is amazing. I currently have a State Farm policy with him, however, he was willing to spend a bunch of time with me discussing other policies even though they were not with him. He's a straight shooter with no hidden agenda. Hope to work with him in the future on more policies."

"I have had a fantastic experience with Mark's team, specifically Korrine. Korrine has gone absolutely above and beyond to help me when a body shop engaged in unprofessional business practices. She was attentive, accessible, and knowledge throughout the entire ordeal. I couldn't have done it without her, and her service alone is worth engaging in State Farm for your insurance needs"

"So, here is how a service agency really, truly behaved! I got a quote for my current homeowners insurance that seemed quite high. I phoned Mark Hoogs’ State Farm office just to find out if they knew of any agency that insures property on the North Coast. (State Farm is no longer writing these policies). The woman who received my phone call was more than gracious! OMG. She connected me with an agent, Jason, who might know someone. Jason did homework and emailed me the results—2 different plans—not from State Farm, mind you. Then he scheduled a phone call with me so that I could understand what the policies were insuring, etc. Then he promised to connect me with an agent—not from State Farm!—who would help me with the rest of what needed to be done. THIS IS RARE. I want to do a major SHOUT OUT to Jason Filler, to Mark Hoogs, and to the woman (forgetting her name!) who started this ball rolling. They are saving me $5,000. in homeowners insurance for the same coverage I was originally contracting for. OMG!!!! HIGH PRAISE! Thank you all for being truly service-oriented, even when it doesn’t put dollars in your pocket. YEAH. 10 stars on a 5-star rating chart! :) Teri Q."

"Gian was my State Farm agent and he went above and beyond to educate me on various options and was a tremendous help. I would definitely recommend this office for all of your insurance needs!"

"Our State Farm agent of decades retired and Mark reached out to meet us and to review our coverage. We were happy that he did. He spent time with us in a thorough visual presentation, going over our property and car policies. He made sound recommendations that convinced us to adjust our current policy amounts so that we felt comfortable. He was quick in providing us with what we had agreed to in our discussion and gave us information for the Mature Driver Discount class. We feel comfortable that if there is a problem, he would be responsive in acting for us."

"We had an excellent meeting with Mark Hoogs at the State Farm Insurance office. He provided a comprehensive detail of our insurance coverage. Mark is very professional and pleasant. Very pleased to belong to the State Farm family."

"I've known Gian for a couple of years and have always been impressed with his professionalism, eagerness to lend a helping hand and genuine customer service. Who wouldn't want that type of person to give guidance on something as important as insurance? I recently had the pleasure of meeting Mark and was instantly impressed with his care and support of local communities."

"Man this team is good! Not only helpful, informative but also understanding. I had a meeting with Mark and Gian to understand how they help their clients. I have had a few conversations with Korrine and she is a delight to speak with. If you are looking for an insurance agency and team to pick up the phone and help you out, this is your spot. My favorite thing about the Hoogs team is their willingness to help. Even if they refer out the work to another insurance agency, they make sure you are properly taken care of. That is a true mark of a great insurance mentality."

"Mark and Gian's team have been a great resource for my clients looking for P&C insurance. Gian is very responsive and knowledgeable. I will continue to outsource my client's needs to dependable local business owners like Mark and Gian."

"Korine is truly amazing and so knowledgeable. I recently have gone through multiple life changes and Korine has been able to answer all my questions big and small. It is a pleasure to work with her and so happy to be part of the State Farm family. I cannot express my gratitude enough!"

"We had a great experience working with Ryan & Mark. We needed to secure a new homeowners insurance policy and they promptly attended to our needs. They were both trustworthy and competent. Glad to have made the switch."

"When it seemed like our claim was all bogged down with differences from the APP and actual experience happening the service manager, Korine. Got it straightened out and the $ sent to us. An excellent office. Friendly and helpful."

"Mark was patient as he supported me through my first claim in response to a fire that impacted my house that wasn’t my fault. He got on the phone a few times to give advice. Even 6+ months later, folks from his office were following up with me to ensure it all was handled."

"I'm very happy to work with Mark on our home insurance in Orinda. Mark is very informative and knowledgeable to walk me through the process in a professional manner. I would recommend Mark at State Farm to all who need to start or change on home insurance."

"I can't praise this insurance office too highly. Mark Hoogs and his staff run an exceptional insurance office with a focus on consumer education and outstanding customer service. Mark encourages customers to do an insurance review and spent literally hours with my husband and me to ensure that we had the right amount of coverage. Since we live on a rural property with infrastructure, machinery and several outbuildings, we needed to make sure that they were properly covered. When he didn't know off the top of his head - and Mark knows a LOT about insurance - he did his homework to ensure all was correct, even though it took extra digging and time on his part. Mark saved us money on our personal liability policy by determining which assets would be subject to loss and which not. He could have sold us a bigger policy at higher cost, but Mark has a lot of integrity and got us a right-sized policy. His office staff are friendly and provide top notch customer service. In short, this insurance office will take very good care of you."

"Mark Hoogs did a wonderful job updating my home, car and umbrella policies that needed a little fine tuning. He explained things clearly and answered questions I had. At the end of our meeting I was pleased and confident that my insurance needs were covered. Thanks so much Mark! Maybe that's why I have been with State Farm for over 47 years."

"Super happy with Mark. I'm a newcomer in the U.S. and pretty much know nothing about the homeowners insurance. My realtor recommended me talking to Mark, and I got immediate response and patience with all kinds of silly questions I had, you can imagine, mid-night, weekends...with no doubt, he earned trust from my realtor, and now he earned my trust and respect. Thanks Mark!!"
