Mike Bancroft is simply an amazing agent. When my business got burglarized, I was so upset and didn't know what to do. He was very prompt in calling me back and he put my mind at ease. He made me feel so much better and handled all of the paperwork immediately. His customer service is top notch and I highly recommend him!
