My insurance company raised my rate significantly this year and Mark was able to find an even lower rate than the year before and handled all the switching/canceling. Not only a money saver but time saver too!

Update 5/15/25: Patriot and Mark continue to be an amazing advocate for us. Unbeknownst to me Mark was shopping our insurance for our primary home and through his research he was able to save us $2,400/year by moving us to a new insurance company. Another example of the advantage of working with an independent broker that can shop your plan with multiple companies. If you're in the market for a new insurance agent I would highly recommend giving Mark a call!

Mark is very customer focused and goes above and beyond if something happens. We've been very happy with Patriot Insurance since moving our business over a few years ago and would highly recommend them.

gerald C.

When my auto insurance with Marc went up because I had a claim for hail damage he found another company and quoted me a lower rate. I paid a full years rate in December and six months later that company back billed me for more money. Mark a mistake and quoted me a lower rate than he should’ve and

stuck me with a bill for more than he quoted. I may have gone with another company that was lower than the one Mark found for me. I don’t think he is very professional and I don’t see why I should pay for his mistakes. I canceled all my insurance with him.

Ed K.

Mark is great to work with. He takes your needs and finds the policy that works best for you with a company that has the most reasonable rate. He isn't held down by constraints of one single company with a "The price is the price." policy. Honest and knowledgeable in his field.

Patriot has done my home and car insurance for many years and Mark is always quick to answer questions or find me the lowest rates (and he's a genuine good-guy!), highly recommended!

Patriot Insurance has helped us get the best rates for all our insurance needs. Patriot also got to the bottom of a bogus claim that was not a vehicle we even owned or had traveled to that particular town in Minnesota. I give them 5 stars.
