"My husband and I have been with State Farm for almost 40 years and have stayed with our then local agent in John Day, OR. After almost 30 years of living in Sisters we thought it would be smart to have a local agent. We are so glad that we have made the switch and extra glad that we listened to our friends recommendation to choose Blake and his team. They felt like family even on the very first phone call. Our first in-person meeting was even better. Blake and his staff are 100% in tune with us and our needs. They were even able to save us a few dollars on our insurance and got us up to speed on our current needs. Our daughter is currently looking into making the switch to Stste Farm as well. Thank you, Blake and the whole team, we feel like we finally have an agent who really cares and is truly looking out for us. Blessings!"
We responded:
"Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Heather! We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband have had such a positive experience with Blake and the team. It's great to know that you feel at home with us and that we could help save you money while still addressing your insurance needs. We also appreciate your trust and recommendation to your daughter. If you ever need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out. Blessings to you too!"

"Blake is a horrible insurance agent and has no idea what he is doing. Due to a hail storm that went through Central Oregon in 2021, my roof was damaged and had to be replaced. At that time, I also had a small water leak that damaged some wood flooring which I was going to pay out of pocket to repair due to concern of raising my rates but Blake highly encourage that I submit that as claim as well but to just wait a bit of time between submissions. The roof repair and claim took a year to finalize and close, and then I waited until February of 2025 to submit a claim on the water damage. Before submitting, I called Blake up again and specifically asked if this would raise my rates and he said it would be no problem. Three days after closing the water damage claim, Blake calls me up to tell me that State Farm is dropping my home coverage to which he replied, "Sorry, and good luck". Every insurance agent I have now spoken with, including other State Farm agents, are shocked that he recommend the second claim. He apparently has no idea what he is doing. Part 2 (Response) - Telling me whether or not damage to may house is covered or not is one thing, recommending that I submit a claim after I express concerns of raising my rates let alone dropping my coverage entirely is a whole different story. I only submitted a claim because you said to at two different occasions. Not much of a benefit to being dropped by your insurance is there? Every other decent agent I have now spoken with would have explicitly recommended not to submit the water damage claim as they said they would have worried that I would have a rate increase or dropped. You may not be part of the underwriting decisions, but if you knew what you were doing as an agent, you would have recommended against submitting a second claim like all other agents would have. Yes, it is the right of the customer to submit a claim or not, but we look for guidance from an agent who is supposed to help you out and be on your side at the time of an accident, not provide horrible advice that leads to a costly outcome."
We responded:
"I'm sorry that you feel like we failed you, David. You have been a good customer. My encouragement that you describe was only looking at whether or not a claim is likely covered and over the deductible to the point that you would see a benefit. You have the right to use your policy benefits for covered losses and I legally can't dissuade from doing that. Every customer makes the decision to file a claim on their own based on their financial situation. Some of the narrative you are sharing is different in my memory. Multiple claims against most kinds of policies usually effect rate and renewability. I'm not a part of those underwriting decisions but I'm happy to discuss further."

"I had a claim on my RV and it turned out to be a royal pain in the rear, but Blake Estade office was absolutely incredible. The staff was incredible. They did everything that they possibly could to make it go as smooth as possible, and in the end, it all worked out the way that it was supposed to and they took care of it and the payout happened right as soon as they got it approved. I’m very happy with their service and I would highly recommend their office for all your insurance needs."

"When it comes to auto insurance there are a couple things I know: I love my car and I want to be thoroughly protected along with any passengers. What I don’t know is everything else and I really don’t like trying to figure these things out on my own. This is the second time I’ve gone with Blake’s office for auto insurance and I have been nothing but satisfied and super thankful! My previous carrier increased my rates when I first moved to Bend and it was rough. Close friends suggested that I give Blake a call and he was able to meet my same coverage at a much more affordable rate. I couldn’t believe it! I just moved back recently and I knew I would be calling Blake’s office once again. This time Jeremy walked me through the process and was ridiculously patient answering all my questions, following up later on my changes and updates, and just being an all-around kind and fun guy. He was just so helpful and encouraging through the process and I felt so taken care of. Besides being knowledgable, Blake and his team really look after their customers and work hard to help you figure out what you need that’s within your budget. Let them take care of you! I highly recommend them."
We responded:
"Michelle, you are incredibly kind. Thank you so much for the fantastic review! You're right... the what-ifs of the world are scary, but you have a comprehensive insurance policy that covers you and your passengers well, and at a good rate! We're incredibly thankful to have you back with State Farm, and also for the friends who referred you. Also, we're glad you had fun talking with Jeremy - he does a great job! We're grateful for you, Michelle, and we hope you'll stop by our Bend office soon! "
