"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."

"Just what you want from an insurance agent -- fast, friendly, reasonably priced. And a big plus: they were able to insure us when many carriers were leaving the area."

"We worked with Jeff Menard from State Farm’s Moraga office after our fire coverage being dropped by our insurance carrier (Safeco). Jeff was quick to respond and found us a State Farm policy of better value at a comparable price. Very easy to work with and we got good results. What more could we ask for? Thanks Jeff."

"Our home insurance was not renewed by our carrier and we called Mark and Jeff M about their different policies and coverages. They took a lot of time to answer all of our questions and gave us quotes very soon after. They made changes to our quotes quickly when we asked for different coverages and checked in with us while we were deciding what to do. They are very knowledgeable and appreciate their prompt service."
