Jonathan G., Jan, 31 2023
With lightening fast fingers, Zac found the perfect policy to fit my needs. He pulled the policy out of thin air at a speed only the most brilliant of minds could comprehend. It was almost like he had read my mind, which subsequently blew my mind! Not only is Zac an excellent agent, he is also extremely personable, caring, and a possible magician/ mind reader. If you don’t believe in magic, spend 15 seconds getting a quote from Zac, come back in 30 seconds when your brain has comprehended the supernatural event that has just occurred, and then decide if you believe in the art of wizardry. Because that’s exactly what Zac is. Zac is a wizard. The good kind.
