What it’s like to work with someone who makes this easier

Personal Client

Wow!

I am so pleased with my experience today after contacting Scenic View Agency. My agent Richard Goodell was so friendly and patient with me, which is not a feeling I have ever felt when describing my history with insurance agents. He explained coverages and what they meant in simple terms that I was now able to understand. I was now making informed decisions, when in the past, I was winging it with “yeah, I guess that works?”. After going through my current policies we determined I had big gaps in my coverage for what I needed to keep me and my family protected. At the end of our session, we determined he was able to save me $$$ by bundling my new home, auto, motorcycle, and life insurance policies! I feel so relieved after this experience and I would recommend everyone who is unsure if they are getting the most out of their hard earned money to reach out to Richard at Scenic View Agency.

Richard is super personable and responds on point. He put in a great amount of time researching my specific needs and trying find a clear answer for a new endeavor. But now we both know for the future. He complete my general liability insurance for a new business adventure.

I had a great experience working with Rich at Farmers Insurance. He was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain all my options clearly so I could make the best decision for my needs. Rich was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about finding the right coverage—not just selling a policy. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Rich to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy insurance agent.

Personal Client

You have got to get Richard to review your homeowner’s policy. He saved me $2300, which is more than half of what I was paying. With better coverage than I had! I was so surprised by the savings that Richard took almost 2 hours to go line by line through his quote so I understood exactly what I was getting and how it compared. More often than not I can reach him by phone on the first try, and if not he gets back to me almost immediately. He’s hard working, a clear communicator, and a great guy all around.
Highly recommend!

Homeowners Insurance to Meet the Demands of Changing Weather

Most people don’t realize what’s missing — until it's too late!

Insurance is one of those things you set up once and hope you never have to think about again.

But when something does happen, that’s when the details matter: what’s covered, what’s not, and whether your policy actually reflects your home and your life today.

Many homeowners aren’t completely sure.

That’s not a failure on your part; it’s a sign the process wasn’t made clear in the first place.

This is where that changes.

A simpler, more straightforward way to handle insurance

This isn’t about selling you a policy and moving on.

It’s about helping you understand your options, make a confident decision, and know exactly what your coverage covers.

What that looks like in practice:

  • You get clear explanations — not insurance jargon
  • You see what actually matters for your home and situation
  • You’re not pushed into decisions that don’t make sense
  • You have someone you can reach when questions come up

Because this should feel like guidance — not guesswork.
