State Farm® Insurance Agent Melanie Bakala

"I worked with Josh for a comparison of rates for the annual renewal of my homeowners and auto coverage. Being a senior I had my coverage thru AARP program with Hartford. As I expected, the Hartford was $1000 more a year than state farm. I was also able to improve my homeowners coverage as well as adding comprehensive umbrella coverage."

"Joseph was great and very pleasant to work with. He was patient with me and all my questions. Very professional and knowledgeable and made the process very smooth and not too time consuming."

"Just got off the phone with Joshua and he gets 5 stars for his stellar customer service in assisting me with adding a second car to my insurance coverage. I appreciate his knowledge and recommendations. Thank you!"

"Mersades at State Farm in Shelton is incredible! She made the whole process so easy and stress-free. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about finding the right coverage for my needs. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personal touch. Highly recommend reaching out to her you won’t be disappointed!"

"Kathy was incredible with setting up my husband and I for life insurance! She had a wealth of knowledge and explained everything in a way that made me feel empowered and confident about the future!"

"Kathy was very knowledgeable and friendly. She made sure I understood my policies and we added some coverage I wasnt aware was available. I appreciated her explanations of the coverages and her suggestions for the future."

"We just switched from Safeco to Kat Peterson with Bakala State Farm. Kat was incredibly informative and patient throughout the process and took the time to make sure that we have the coverage we need to protect our assets. She was able to improve our coverage and still save us over 20% on our home/auto/umbrella policies. She was also extremely responsive throughout the whole process, something that was severely lacking with our previous agent. I would highly recommend her to anyone shopping for insurance."

"Effortless obtaining renters policy with Mercedes. Great service with genuine care all through the process."

"Kat at Melanie Bakala State Farm is the best!! Always available to help and very knowledgeable. Want great service? Go to them!"

"Kathy at statefarm was very knowledgeable and made me feel very confident in my understanding of the policy and different options I have available!"

"Kathy Bader worked with me to get the best coverage and price for our home and auto insurance including my motorcycle. Switched insurance companies that I've been with for over 25 years because of huge premium increases and could not be happier with the service we got from Kathy."

"Kathy Bader was very helpful when helping me switch from Farmers to State Farm. She explained everything to me in detail which was very helpful considering I don’t know a whole lot about insurance. Plus when switching I saved some money!"

"Kathy Bader came highly recommended by a family friend after expressing concerns about consistent rate hikes from my previous insurance company despite my impeccable driving record. She worked with me to find almost triple the coverage at a lesser premium per month. Frankly, I was amazed and relieved to have such better coverage. I am happy I connected with her and State Farm. She promptly returned every call with friendly and helpful information and followed up even after I started making the premium payments to ensure everything was going smoothly. Now I too highly recommend Kathy."

"I have been working with Cara at Melanie Bakala and she has been great! She's super responsive and has worked up a bunch of different quotes for me and answered all my questions."

"Thanks for the continued great service! Mersades was a great help ensuring my new vehicle was properly covered."

"I have been working with Cara at Melanie Bakala - State Farm since my children and I moved to Shelton to be with my husband in the Fall of 2024. Cara has been extremely helpful! She has answered all of my questions with ease and helped me understand some of the things I was unsure about. I feel that Cara truly cares about me and my insurance needs. I would highly recommend Cara and Melanie Bakala - State Farm Insurance Agency to anyone."

"Thank you! Very helpful and friendly!"

"Awesome insurance, very knowledgeable team!"

"Great service. Kathy spent time finding the right policy for me and my family."

"Kathy Bader answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. She gave me all my options about life and auto insurance and helped us choose the best option for our situation. She was patient and followed up with us when the time was right for us to start a policy. I would recommend her to find the best auto or life policy for you."

"Kat Peterson has been a WONDERFUL help with all my insurance needs & questions since I got on Medicare. I only wish I’d contacted her sooner for home, auto & umbrella quotes! We’ve now moved across the country; however, I still have her help me with getting my insurance transferred over, etc. She is always patient, cheerful, and very helpful. For insurance quotes, call Kat first!"

"Worked with Kathy Bader. Always polite and prompt. Excellent customer service."

"Kathy Bader at State Farm is AMAZING! Always responsive. Always working to make life easier for me and my family. She is a true gem!"

"I've had the experience of working with both the Lacey and Shelton offices and each one has been great to work with. The agents know the insurance field, they are personable and do what they can to accommodate your situation and insurance needs. I worked with Cara Angell recently and I couldn't have had an easier time working out some details on my insurance policy. Cara did all the work and all I had to do was tell her what I needed. Thanks!"

"Absolutely amazing, courteous, and quick. 5 Stars is not enough!!!"
