"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."

"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 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!!"

"Mark and his team did a great job setting up our insurance policy bundle on a tight timeframe to help us close escrow on a new home on schedule. Super responsive team and very helpful in setting up the right size policy. Highly recommend!"

"5 Stars!!! We first were in touch with Mark two years ago when our insurance company of over 20 years, AAA, dramatically increased our premium for homeowners insurance. Mark was very familiar with the changes taking place locally in the availability and cost of homeowners insurance, and State Farm was able to provide superior coverage at a fair rate. We were impressed with his knowledge and customer service, and ended up also moving our auto and umbrella policies to State Farm. He, and his support staff, continue to provide excellent ongoing service, both at renewal and as questions come up during the policy terms. Mark and his staff respond quickly and thoroughly, most recently concerning options for auto insurance for students away at college. No question - the best insurance agent we have ever worked with."
