My company recently needed a very specific insurance policy in order for us to remain in good standing with our valued client base. We were lucky enough to put in our first call of many to WHINS. Again we were lucky enough to talk to and get personally helped by Joel Wagner. What a guy and what a company. He very quickly and in the most professional manner possible assisted me and my company in what we needed and just as importantly when we needed it....All at a great price. I would strongly recommend WHINS Insurance agency and Joel Wagner to anyone looking for great service and a great price in a timely and professional manner...They really take very good care of their customers ....

As good as it gets! Don't look twice, they have 5 stars for a reason. OMG did we get lucky. Called Joel to file an insurance claim and he took matters in his hands. Here is to my experience: 1.Promised to call me a specific time---checked! 2. Said "we will figure it out"---checked! 3.Courteous and respectful-checked! 4. Consultant(Paul) called reasonable time he email, called, left a voicemail and text!!! Can't miss this important call right?----CHECKED!!!! 5. The whole team is on the same page...i mean i called and they knew me by name which means that the entire TEAM is all working together and communication is a A+++++ Seriously, i will refer my family and friends and all the yelpers who are looking for a place that will treat them with loyalty and respect and not only that get the job DONE quickly and stress free! You guys are Amazing!

Darren and his team have put order and reason into the insurance jumble involved in running a small business ( liability, accident, disability, workmen's comp, building, contents, etc. - who can keep track? - WHINS Insurance can! ) and on top of that, they have saved me some money! Keep up the good work!

WHINS helped make the stressful transition away from our old business liability insurance broker less painful. I really felt like I was the most important client in their portfolio.

May 11, 2021

Yep, I definitely shop around like crazy to get the best rate and this was by far the best rate and company that I found. I even tried shopping again after three years with them because because a ticket dropped off of my record but it was STILL the best company. Morad, my agent, has amazing communication (answers emails and returns calls immediately) and told me it was the best rate, he was right, they are experts and have a lot of companies that they search. If you are getting astronomical rates for full coverage with other agents, go here, they will help you save for certain.

Worked with Joel on a business insurance quote. Joel was responsive, highly professional, and generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.

Last month, my property insurance carrier informed me that they will no longer cover earthquakes. They did offer California Earthquake Authority, but the limits were insufficient! I searched and called various insurance agents to find earthquake coverage. Many agents just went through the motions with no real solutions. Morris was different! He was detailed, thorough and responsive to my particular requirements. He did what he was supposed to do which is satisfy the client. That is the main reason, I went with him.

Steve is really amazing! He prepared all the documents needed on a Sunday because I needed them urgently. He's someone I would definitely use for all my insurance needs moving forward.

December 18, 2020

We have nothing but great things to say about Steven, who helped us with great speed, confidence and knowledge, to find a replacement home insurance policy. Steven addressed all our concerns and questions and had a new policy in place for us to sign within the day. Not only that, but the rate was more competitive than our original and the coverage more comprehensive! Will certainly be recommending Steve to our friends and family.

I had been seeking insurance for a while and couldn't believe how uninterested the brokers I contacted were in helping me. Joel Wagner was so on top of it - immediately coming back with options that were so much better than all the quotes I was (barely) getting from other brokers. The best!!
