My wife and I recently talked with Kate about switching our insurance for our two cars, our home and our umbrella policy. Kate and her office staff were very welcoming and made us feel like family. After talking with Kate, she suggested we change our insurance for our two cars, home and an umbrella policy to a prominent insurance company that saved us several hundred dollars a year, and we now have much better insurance coverage than we did before. Kate is extremely knowledgeable and made switching insurance companies very easy. We were glad we found her and highly recommend the Ferri Dawson Insurance Group to anyone looking for an insurance agency. We look forward to having Kate oversee our insurance policies in the upcoming years.

Kate was awesome! Not only did she work hard to get me a better policy, she gave me a policy with more protection and saved me money as well! She also provided me with some additional and useful information! Spent a lot of time reviewing the policy with me and making sure everything was beneficial for me. Would highly recommend Kate for all of your insurance needs!

FDIG was great! They made everything so easy, and no pressure. They always treated me with kindness and never made me feel stupid for asking questions. They saved me $2000 a year - and not by trying to push me onto some no name insurance company. I can't recommend them enough - wish I'd switched sooner!

Working with Kate, who has been a dedicated advocate for helping us understand and obtain what coverage we need, was easy and straightforward. After 25 year of being with same old company we decided to switch and we are extremely happy we did. Not only did we save money, we have much better coverages across the board for our home and auto policies. Thank you Kate and team for all your hard work and support.
