"I've known John for 9 years now, and I am impressed with him. But not because he has amazing knowledge of all aspects of his client's insurance needs, which he does, nor because he is diligent, hardworking and always willing...but because he is a giver. John gives of himself in so many ways: His Rotary Club involvement, his support of the Lucille Packard Children's Foundation, his awareness of initiatives in the community, hunger drives, school events -- he is a giver. He's a wonderful father, family man, and a pillar of our community. And yes -- he's very good at insurance as well. So glad I found him and his services as we do an annual policy check up where I can have all my questions answered. I couldn't be happier with his services."
We responded:
"Thank you David! It is great to be the “Insurance guy” for so many amazing clients. I love being involved in the community and the recognition is very heartwarming. Thank you again!"

"I worked with Vivian to switch car insurance policies for myself and my daughter and am so thankful for her exemplary customer service. Not only did she match us with a quality policy at a much lower cost, but she also made the process easy and efficient. She has been so responsive and is saving us a significant amount of money on our monthly premiums. I give her my highest 5-star recommendation. Thank you so much, Vivian!"
We responded:
"Welcome to our office Michelle - I’m so glad Vivian was able to get your new policies started. I’ll let her know about the review! Thanks again and please let us know if we can assist with anything else. "

"John and his team are wonderful. Full service insurance support & coverage w/o the full service price. Lana and Vivian make sure everything is in order. The team checks in regularly to make sure your coverages are appropriate and that any changes to your car, home, etc are considered. Have happily moved all of our business here. Easy to manage in one place. The website puts all your policies at your fingertips and the team is there to proactively support. :-) 2025 UPDATE - Yep, they're still the best! :-) No notes..."

Lana Johnson and Vivian Bell in the office were FANTASTIC.. Always available, excellent and punctual follow-thru and great communication. The claim was settled within 9 days! I am very happy to be with John's team at State Farm."

"I cannot say enough good things about my experience with John Mcafee and Vivian at the State Farm Redwood city Office. From start to finish, they provided outstanding service, ensuring my fire insurance renewal was a smooth and stress-free process. After installing a water shut-off system in my home, I needed to submit proof of installation, including pictures and receipts. The team was incredibly diligent, walking me through every step and ensuring that all necessary documents were properly submitted. Their proactive communication and attention to detail made all the difference. What truly stood out was their dedication to working with the corporate office to ensure my fire insurance renewal was approved. They went above and beyond to advocate on my behalf, demonstrating their commitment to excellent customer service. Thanks to their hard work, I now have peace of mind knowing my home remains protected. I highly recommend John Mcafee and Vivian to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and caring insurance agents. Their dedication and expertise truly set them apart! Basil"
We responded:
"Basil - I am so glad we could go to Barton your behalf and navigate the process to keep your homeowners policy going. Persistence has bits rewards. Thank you for sticking with us through the renewal. "

"We have been happy clients of John McAfee's office for several years. In particular, Vivian Bell, has been great to work with. She is responsive, professional and up to date with valuable information and assurance that we have adequate coverage for our home, which is in a WUI and high fire area, as well as a FireWise Community. I spoke with Vivian today, after our niece lost her home in the Pacific Palisades Fire, to check up on our policy. She reviewed our policy and recommended a modest increase in our coverage and confirmed that we are properly covered and would be reimbursed according to the terms of our policy in the event of damage or destruction of our home by fire. Our house is listed in a trust, which is in both our names. Vivian assured me that our policy covers our house even though our house is held in a trust, in both of our names."
We responded:
"Thank you Leonie - I’m so happy to hear we were able to address your concerns and make sure everything is up to date with your home insurance. Please let me know if we can assist in any other way and I’ll pass on your review to Vivian. John"

"Being a business owner (Menlo Telecom) it has been very helpful to receive the prompt response when needing COI's issued and the like. John and his staff are a great resource when it comes to insurance, both personally and business-wise. It maybe helps to have been a customer for more than 30 years, but I would recommend them to anyone seeking insurance coverage. Keith"
We responded:
"Thank you for the great review Keith! Long term clients like yourself are so great. We are always happy to help with your insurance needs and look forward to many more years!"
