Reviews

  • Adriana Ayala Sanchez

The star goes to Kelly, who I believe is the office admin or receptionist. She called me a lier for not disclosing information which I was sure would not show up in my record anymore. For starters you should not accuse someone of something you are not certain they are guilty off. I did not appreciate her tone of voice and comments. From the first day that I called she was very unpleasant to talk to and I only proceed with my application because I really needed that insurance but I will not continue with them especially if I have to deal with Kelly every time I need to get through. Again this review is only for Kelly and no one else or not the organization itself.

  • A Janikian

Having a real office, where we can knock the door if we cannot contact our insurance by phone, make all the difference. Years ago I tried to contact my old insurance company to insure a new car, waited for 40 minutes and was not able to contact them, and did not know what to do. Then I realized I needed an insurance company with a real office, and someone I could contact other then a 1-800 number, to have my insurance services provided. Brett Osness insurance, as my direct contact Gino, has been providing the service I am looking for, for a reasonable price. I am happy with the services they have been providing to me and my family.

  • Sydney Day

I have had Brett as my Insurance agent for years now. He has been nothing but helpful when it comes to answering my questions, and providing information when I needed it. This time around when I needed help he had Gino helping me. Gino was incredible. Getting back to me in a super timely manor, answering all my questions, and giving me tons of information along the way. I would 10/10 recommend using Brett and Gino. I don't plan on ever switching to someone else. You want great service this is the place to get it!!

  • Junhee Yang

I contacted multiple insurance brokers but most of them were not too responsive and I had to leave voicemails and wait for a few days. I'm so glad that I found Brett Osness Desjardins insurance broker. I really want to thank Kaylee who helped us to get our home insurance in less than an hour! I'm planning to get my auto insurance here as well. I highly recommend Brett Osness Desjardins insurance agency to others who need the great service and the affordable & reasonable insurance coverages!

  • DMYTRO HRYSHCHENKO

Very good insurance company. Good insurance rates. Good service. I especially want to mention the sales manager Lyudmyla (Lulu) Kolta, who served me. He knows his business well, has a good approach to the client, will always suggest the right decision, and will suggest the best insurance option for your situation. She also knows two other languages besides English, which helps a lot if you don't speak English well. I highly recommend this sales manager and this company.

  • Kostiantyn kovpak

A very good insurance company with highly qualified specialists. Car insurance was issued very quickly and professionally. At the same time, communication with the agent (Lyudmyla (Lulu) Kolta) was easy and pleasant, she explained everything in detail and made sure that I received all the documents. I really enjoyed working with this insurance company and I will recommend them to my friends in the future.

  • Elly

I am deeply grateful to the entire team at BRETT OSNESS INSURANCE AGENCY LTD, with a special shoutout to Lulu, for their exceptional professionalism. The experience of purchasing auto insurance with them was remarkably pleasant and advantageous, surpassing any I've encountered before. Their dedication and expertise made the process smooth and hassle-free. I couldn't be happier with their service.

  • Brian Massey

We have our home and auto insurance with Desjardins, through Brett. Kaylee and Brett were super helpful in quickly amending insurance details while we were switching vehicles, recently. Kaylee also got us financing at a better rate than the dealer could provide and made the process incredibly easy and straight forward. Highly recommend speaking to Brett's team if you have any insurance needs.

  • Techagromax

My family has just moved to Calgary from Ukraine. We bought a car and had to make an insurance. We were so lucky to meet Kaylee who helped us solve this issue. She offered us a very good rate that other insurance companies didn't. Our foreign driving records were recognized. I highly recommend Kaylee as a professional insurance agent willing to assist you and get things settled very quickly.

  • Baljit Dhillon

I moved from BC to Alberta and was looking for good insurance policy and best price. I came across Gino and I am so happy as he offered me the best price than all the other quotes from all other companies. I highly recommend Gino as he is very helpful and understanding through the whole process. Another plus point is that he also responds very quickly if you email him with any queries.

  • Lorna C

I have been with them for the past three years and it has been nothing but good experiences. I did not need to make an appointment, it was all done online and over the phone. Very simple. They get back to you pretty quickly too, which is great!! Gino was clear with all the explanations, I felt comfortable talking to him. I'm glad I came to this agency.

  • Kasie Bowles

Googled. Found Brett. Called on a Saturday morning for a rush policy for the family I’m hosting from the Ukraine so they could buy a vehicle this afternoon. He worked his tail off for us(more documentation in this instance)He’s honest, to the point and he will do the work. 100% recommend for great customer service and efficiency.

  • Lauren Macdonald

Really happy with the level of service we’ve been provided by this agency, and in particular, Kaylee. She’s been very responsive and helpful and has provided us great rates on our auto and home insurance. Really great experience working with this company and would recommend them to anyone looking for insurance in Alberta.

  • Mikey D

You people need to get a grip on your insurance companies in Alberta, your prices are ridiculous. And if you're from BC, don't bother, they just shuffle you off to another place that does nothing for you. It's not the fault of staff, it's the grubberment and the insurance cartels taking us all for a ride.

  • Marc David Pablico

The easiest and quickest transaction I have ever done for my auto insurance without a scheduled appointment with them. Agents are very professional especially Ryan. He gave me a reasonable quotes and discounts as well. Customer service was satisfactorily high! Thumbs up and a job well done! More power!

  • Teena Tangen

My son was in the middle of a break up and needed to get insurance set up on his vehicle right away, as his ex stopped insurance on his vehicle today. Gino was so helpful and got insurance set up for him right away. Very reasonable rates as well. Thank you to Gino and the Team for your amazing service!

  • Chantel Schafer

I have been under the umbrella of this branch for 18 years, even before they transitioned from State Farm. I know I can call and receive the service I need right away.
