There are not that many businesses that sustain this level of greatness over time. Just wanted to share with you.”
“I recently moved all of my insurance policies (flood, home, umbrella, auto) to your agency after 25+ years with my previous agency.
Linda L.
My original phone call in May was only for quotes on the flood policy. I had a time constraint on the flood policy which
was due for renewal in only 5 days. James was able to meet that deadline for me, along with a considerable savings on my
premium.
I was so pleased with how quickly and efficiently that he worked, I decided to move the remainder of my insurance to
your agency. Also, at the same time, I was working with my bank on a home equity loan. All of my paperwork for the loan
had been submitted and approved. Now I not only changed my flood company, but my homeowners as well.
James handled the changes very quickly with my banker and my mortage holder, so that I could close on my home equity loan
on schedule.
James made the entire process stress free and uncomplicated. He responded to every call, text and email immediately, and
his manner was always pleasant and unhurried, for which I couldn’t be more pleased.
I wish to sent my sincere thanks to James and look forward to working with him in the future on all of my insurance needs”
“Superstars. Thank you. :-)”
James R.
“Hi Mr. Russell – I just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate Katie Bailey’s efforts on behalf of the CT Poetry Society to obtain D&O insurance. I suspect this tiny transaction borders on being a nuisance, but it makes possible the in-person meetings of the Connecticut poets and we thank you!”

Beverly
Your office is a joy to know & be associated with because of the people you are- I feel really grateful & blessed to have met you, especially you Sue.
No-one matches your intelligence, wit & condor with telling it like it is- all things that are rare in this world.
In a business that can bring monotony & “issues”, you are as entertaining on the phone, as in person- and an invigorating industry colleague who I always look forward to speaking with or seeing.
So, thank you so much- this made my day, I can’t tell you how much :)
I loved visiting Russell yesterday & seeing you~
I am so glad you enjoyed those cupcakes, they looked devine.
Thank you for being in my world”

Neil H.
“After years of working with the same broker and insurance company, we finally had enough of creeping policy rates and slow reactive service from the brokers. A number of people had recommended The Russell Agency. James was a revelation. We met to talk through our “brief”, he reviewed all our personal insurance policies and he came up with great alternatives among the premium insurance providers. In doing so he managed to improve our coverage and save us $8,000 a year in premiums – and he made the switch seamless. James clearly knows what he is doing and loves what he is doing. He always responds quickly and thoughtfully – and he and his team are just a pleasure to work with. We’ve been happy to recommend James”
