I cannot recommend Danielle/Sol enough. After 5+ years with another broker, I changed to Sol this year and it was a great decision. Super responsive (which was a major pain point with my prior broker), open to digging deeper for a better suited policy and price and just all round helpful and efficient! Thanks so much!

Highly recommend Danielle for insurance purposes. Professional, seamless and no pressure from her in comparison to the larger companies who constantly ring about their quotes. Gives you time to think and work out your best options.
Danielle is friendly but prompt and stays focused on the request at hand. Recommend using Danielle for a personal, 1-1 experience without the pressure and judgements.
