Robert F. El Cajon, CA
Jim was very knowledgeable in regards to making sure I had the proper coverage. He was very thorough in assessing the coverage I needed for my company and didn’t add on any coverage that I didn’t need. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to keep my doors open from high premiums. But Jim shopped around and found great coverage with affordable premiums. I highly recommend Swanson Insurance Agency.
