Customer Reviews

December 6, 2020

I will absolutely recommend you to my neighbors and friends. For the last few years, Barhorst (and now Iscential) has been my insurance provider and I am grateful for their support. Claudia Branch has always been there when I needed her advice when purchasing a car or a policy advice.

December 6, 2020

Great team! They are very hard workers and they are very knowledgeable.

December 6, 2020

Finally, an agency that actually cares enough to tell you what you need and why (and who worked with my family to find a plan that fit our needs and budget)! Agents that are obviously passionate about educating their customers, not just making the sale. Building relationships-that's what I feel like they're doing. I now truly have an advocate on my side.

December 6, 2020

At Iscential, we are encouraged to work on our strengths while continuously stretching our boundaries. The words "I can't" will usually be met with encouragement and then the question, "Why not?"

December 6, 2020

The staff is quite efficient and know what they're doing. It takes one call, I get a fast response and immediate follow-up, if necessary, to get the job done. I'm very pleased and impressed with the entire organization.
