Karen Wylie Insurance takes a personal approach to customer service

The Karen Wylie Insurance Agency strives to make customer service its number one priority. This is music to the ears of anyone seeking insurance coverage for home, auto, life, and other needs in a customer-friendly environment. As a Farmers Insurance agency, it offers a range of insurance products as well as financial and commercial services.

Karen Wylie says her agency distinguishes itself by establishing a personal relationship with clients and stands ready to assist them in all their insurance needs. She says, “We try to make it so that of our entire staff you are going to talk to somebody who knows you. It is very important that we develop a personal relationship with whomever we talk to. We believe that service is number one, and remain accessible to customers anytime whether over the weekend or whatever. There’s never a voicemail. You can speak to somebody live. You can text or send an email. Mainly we are person-to-person and always available.”

The agency has an experienced staff, ranging in age from 30 to 63, with over 30 years of working with Farmers insurance and its products. Karen, a Houston native, has an office in Tomball and is a Heights area resident. She has a doctorate in music from the University of Houston and taught there for 15 years before joining Farmers Insurance as an agent six years ago. “My office is on the north side of town but I make house calls all over the Houston area. I am authorized to write insurance statewide.”

When there is a loss or emergency Karen Wylie makes a special effort to be on the scene with her clients to give advice and aid them in filing claims. “After hurricane Ike we could not leave the area, our lines were down and debris was everywhere, but I did make a point to drive around the Heights and visit my clients and see if they needed anything. We contacted Farmers and got them going on their claims. I had another client whose house was on fire and I was out to dinner, and I got a phone call and so we took off and went and got him started on his claim. That’s just what you do as an insurance agent. If the phone rings and it is one of your clients you stop whatever you are doing and see what they need.”

Karen and her staff are available to discuss insurance options with anyone. “We offer a free review of all insurance needs whether you are a client or not. If you are interested in looking at Farmers we ask you to bring a current policy and we will take a look at them and see if you are covered properly, if you have good competitive rates, the right endorsements and the right coverage. It is not always about the cheapest price, but whether you are insured properly.”

The Karen Wylie Insurance Agency is a multi-service agency that can bundle insurance and financial services to fit the needs of its customers. This includes not only home, auto and life insurance but flood, windstorm, business and recreational insurance as well. The agency also offers a diverse collection of financial instruments and services that include Roth IRA’s, 401K rollovers, college savings accounts (529’s) and annuities. Life insurance programs provide estate planning, tax deferred growth savings accounts, death benefits and a legacy for family members.
