"I have been a long, long time customer of Phyllis’s and recommend her agency for personal, quality, adaptable, professional . . . you name it . . . service. We have been through roof replacement, municipal bond investment, and changing dates on car coverage as she and Gena offered to save me money whileI am living out of the country for long periods of time and don’t need complete car coverage. There is no other in Columbia, Missouri. Run, don’t walk if you need insurance!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gena Patton at State Farm in Columbia, Missouri! Gena has been an absolute gem to work with for all of my insurance needs, including my home, vehicles, and life insurance.
What truly sets Gena apart is her genuine kindness, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to taking care of her customers. Her pleasant nature, goodwill, and willingness to go above and beyond make every interaction a positive experience. She has a way of making you feel like more than just another policyholder.
I have referred dozens of friends, family members, and acquaintances to this agency, and Gena is the reason why. When you find someone who combines exceptional customer service with such genuine care for others, you want everyone you know to experience it!
Gena is a tremendous asset to State Farm, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Gena, for consistently providing the kind of service that earns both trust and loyalty!"

"Simply outstanding. I have been a State Farm customer for many years and was new to this market. Phyllis and her team went above and beyond in, not only transitioning my accounts, but making me feel welcome in the community. Their support did not end with the close of business. We have since moved to another market and my new State Farm team here is BIG SHOES to fill! We will miss them terribly."
"Thank you so much for the 5-star review! My team and I try very hard to take care of the needs of our customers. If you ever make it back to this market, we will be happy to have you back! Best wishes!"

"When it comes to responsiveness and making sure I'm comfortable with any insurance questions, Phyllis is wonderful. Being from the Chicagoland area with a daughter who goes to college in Missouri, Phyllis made it easy to get renters insurance for her. When my daughter graduated from college and decided to stay in Missouri, Phyllis helped her with auto insurance as well. If there are any questions, we are able to get answers quickly. It sets me at ease knowing my daughter has the "what if's" taken care of. I highly recommend Phyllis Nichols State Farm."
"Henry: Thank you for the wonderful review. I am happy my team and I answered your questions quickly and put your mind at ease. With you being in Chicagoland, we are here for your daughter if she should need us. Thanks for trusting us with your business!"

"Phyllis Nichols and her team are simply the best. I’ve been extremely impressed with how helpful, responsive, and genuinely caring they are. They don’t just sell insurance—they take the time to understand your needs and make sure you’re properly protected.
Phyllis personally takes an active interest in my situation and consistently makes sure I have the right coverage in place. She is also a tireless advocate for her clients and is always willing to go the extra mile when it matters.
Her decades of experience, deep roots in the Columbia community, and commitment to her clients set her apart. I have complete confidence knowing Phyllis is looking out for my best interests.
**Without question, Phyllis Nichols is the best insurance agent in the state—bar none.** I couldn’t recommend her and her staff more highly!"
"Thank you so much for the kind words, Tyler! We truly appreciate your loyalty over the years. Going above and beyond for our clients is always our goal. If there is anything you need, don't hesitate to reach out. We are always here for you!"
