"I have had nothing but wonderful service from Brian and his staff for many years and all my insurance needs. They are very helpful and responsive. I recently had a homeowner's insurance issue while out of town. I believe they went way beyond expected to solve my issue."

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND - EXCELLENT SERVICE I have trusted Brian Hollister with my car insurance for over 30 years, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I’ve received. Even after moving to a different part of the state, I chose to stay with Brian because of the superior care and professionalism he consistently provides. Brian and his entire State Farm office are truly exceptional. Every interaction I’ve had—whether it was a quick question, policy update, or assistance with a claim—has been handled promptly and with genuine kindness. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is clear and taken care of. It’s rare to find an agency you can rely on for decades, but Brian & his State Farm office has earned my trust year after year. I highly recommend his team to anyone looking for dependable, top-notch car insurance service."

"We have been with Brian Hollister's State Farm office for 4 years and have been very impressed with the fine service from everyone there-- especially Brandon! Unlike our previous carrier, they were able to quickly get us the coverage we needed for a new home purchase and with that we transferred all homeowners, auto, boat insurance to be handled in their office. We are very pleased."

"The folks at State Farm insurance in Grass Valley have always been polite and helpful when I've called in. I suppose I should feel lucky to have not needed their home and auto claims assistance but in that case I am sure they will be just as responsive."

"When we relocated to Grass Valley a few years ago our realtor recommended we check with Brian Hollister to insure our new property. We were afraid that coverage would be hard to find, but Brian got us all set up. Since then he has taken on our auto and even health insurance. Brian, and the folks in his office, are always quick to respond and very helpful. So far, we have had not needed to make any claims. We are confident that Brian will help us out if that time comes. Thank you Brian!"

He always takes the time to personally connect with us, making us feel like family. Our experiences with him have been so positive that we would recommend his services to everyone."
