"I have been with Ray @ Stare Farm for many years and have been extremely happy with him and his team. Sheryl has been wonderful and responsive in helping me with any questions that have come up. Recently she and Ray were quick to assist me with my car. Effortless and always responsive ."

"Ray's been our insurance agent since 2007, and has been great to work with. He and his team are responsive to questions, proactive about ways to help cut our premium costs, informed about what kinds of insurance are appropriate as our family grows and changes, and very helpful with making claims process quickly and fairly. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for an insurance agent."

"Ray has been our agent for almost 30 years, and he and his staff have always been extremely helpful, even when we needed to get coverage right away for personal articles while on a trip out of the country, or when dealing with a claim of any kind. Sheryl in his office answers the phone promptly and is always prepared to assist me on the spot with whatever I need. She is very knowledgeable and guides me in the right direction. Over the years, I've never spoken with any staff in his office that have not been extremely helpful and prompt in getting back to me. Strongly recommend this office."

"Ray has handled our insurance for about a decade now, and is always honest, kind, and responsive. He's never pushy, which is worth a lot since there are many insurance agents for whom "pushy" would be an understatement! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, local insurance agent in Richmond."

"Melissa and the Ray Garfinkel team have helped me through a car accident, the purchase of a first home and the purchase of the second home. They've made everything as easy as possible on me."

"I have been a client of Ray's since I moved to Richmond 33 years ago. What I like best about Ray and his team is they constantly reach out to me about new offerings and how I can better my insurance portfolio. You can shop around for price and be just another customer or you can build a relationship with your insurance agent who will always look out for your best interests. This is why I recommend Ray and continue to be a loyal customer."

"Melissa (the person I talked to) did a great job with our transition from an apartment (apartment insurance) to a house (home owner's insurance). She even called to remind me about a bill and was easy to talk to. This helped an otherwise stressful transition."

"Ray and his team takes good care of me and my family. I recently switched my renters insurance to state farm along with my life insurance, and Ray took great care of me in no time! I truly appreciate Ray and the team for being so patient and kind with me and it's a pleasure working with you all."

"Ray has been our insurance agent for more than 25 years. He is quite knowledgeable but mostly he is sensible and knows what is reasonable for his customers. Ray strives to treat his customers like family. Hoping for another 25 years!!!"

"I contacted Ray on short notice for renter's insurance for a move-in only 2 days in advance, and he got me taken care of in under 20 minutes, start to finish, and for an extremely reasonable price. I couldn't be more satisfied with both Ray and State Farm as a whole"
