Bartjan Vargas – State Farm Insurance Agent

I hate dealing with insurance companies but Bartjan Vargas and his wonderful team have always made everything so easy and stress free! I have ALL of my insurance policies with State Farm, and have gone through Mr. Vargas for every one! We have 3 cars, a motorcycle, homeowners, business, and life insurance on our policy, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the outstanding service and personalized experiences we have received. I may be able to save a few bucks if I went elsewhere, but you can’t put a price on excellent customer service and exceptional professionalism. We are loyal to State Farm and especially to Mr. Vargas, and we highly recommend getting all of your insurance through him and his staff! You will not regret it!

I saw the negative review below, and am glad that Paige was able to express her frustration, but I needed to say my peace. I am a health insurance agent and I am very aware of what agents need to do and what they do outside of that. I cannot speak to what happened with Paige, but for us, I am always perplexed by the care and attention to detail I have received.
We had an odd situation over the past few years as my wife and I got married, but she did not have a licence as she had been out of the states since high school ended. Upon her return, we got married and she got a licence. Then we moved to Chicago! In our many circumstances I asked for quotes from a friend and Bartjan kept finding ways to not just save us money, but keep our great coverage. (I had a huge policy with my parents due to their umbrella policy being bundled). Bartjan was super clever with our coverage, quick to respond to claims issues, and made every odd situation go smoothly.
Without him, we would have had a lot more stress in these past three crazy years of policy changes. I wish he was licensed in Illinois, because I would definitely continue to use him.

After calling his office 5 times during our escrow to initiate a homeowners policy, we finally got a call back. After speaking to him on the phone I believed I had gotten a policy and was not contacted again. Two months after the close of escrow, we received a letter stating that our policy had been cancelled due to incomplete paperwork. After talking with a very helpful customer service representative over the phone we figured out that Bartjan, and his office had not properly completed our paperwork and instead of contacting us for further information or to give any notice, they cancelled our policy.
Do not use him as your agent if you ever want to be contacted regarding your home.
