"Ashley Newsome was amazing to work with!! I called inquiring on car and home insurance due to the recent passing of my mother. My parents had insurance with another local company, but I knew that I wanted to change over to State Farm as I’ve had insurance in Virginia with another State Farm agent for almost 40 years. I wasn’t sure how the insurance coverage would work with me living in Virginia, but wanting coverage on the cars and home in North Carolina. Ashley listened to my needs, questions and concerns and immediately said she could help and got me quotes within a few hours to review. We discussed a few follow-up items I had questions on.
Once we finalized everything with the quotes, I advised Ashley that my husband and I were coming back to NC for a few weeks and setup an appointment to meet in person. The day of the appointment we were in the area and finished up another meeting early. I called to see if Ashley could meet an hour sooner and she said “absolutely, come on in now.” She had all the details and paperwork ready to review and sign off on.
I can’t give enough praise to Ashley for making the process so smooth and seamless. Our plan is to move back to NC within the next year, and I will be reaching out to Ashley at that time to help with the insurance transition from VA to NC. Thanks so much Ashley!!"
"Thank you so much for your heartfelt review, Wendy! We're truly grateful you shared your experience and are so glad Ashley was able to make the process smooth and stress-free during such an important transition.

"Ashley Newsome went above and beyond throughout the entire process when I was shopping for a new auto insurance policy.
Instead of just selling me a policy, she took the time to investigate an issue with my driving record that was causing my premium to be much higher than it should have been. She didn’t simply rely on the computer’s initial result. She reviewed my documentation, spoke with her manager, and advocated for me, which ended up saving me a significant amount of money.
She was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting it right instead of taking the easy route. That’s exactly the kind of agent I want to continue working with.
I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for an agent who truly puts her clients first over just making a sale and doing the minimum. Thank you!!"
"Thank you so much for your outstanding review, Devin! We're thrilled to hear about your experience with Ashley and how she went above and beyond! - John "

"I walked in and had a issue with my insurance and I didn’t think the issue could be resolved at such a timely manner because of the time I walked in and closing time, not only did I walk out at a timely manner but I also got the issue resolved as well… Brittney is the name of the nice young lady who did a phenomenal job helping me and the staff is really nice they made me feel like family and right at home…. Very professional ‼️"

Samantha was absolutely amazing to work with! She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made the entire process simple and stress-free. Most importantly, she was able to save me money on my insurance premium while still putting together the best bundle and discounts available for my needs.
I never felt rushed or pressured—she genuinely cared about helping me get the best value and coverage. Her professionalism, knowledge, and excellent customer service really stood out.
