We have been using Pearson and Wallace for 4+ years and have been nothing but happy. We have benefitted from their expertise in selecting home and auto policies, as well as their understanding of coverage options. Alex is always willing to answer any questions we have and is always prompt to manage any issues/concerns we have. Prior to this we purchased insurance on our own, and I would never decide to that again! Having their expertise and experience has helped us to save money each year.

We recently transitioned from Liberty Mutual Insurance to Pearson Wallace Insurance, and we couldnt be more satisfied with the decision. After years of being with our previous provider, we were in search of better coverage and more competitive premiums. Pearson Wallace Insurance exceeded our expectations on both fronts.
One of the standout aspects of our experience was working with Robert, our dedicated insurance agent. His expertise and attention to detail were instrumental in finding us a policy that not only offers enhanced coverage but also comes with significantly lower premiums. Robert took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and tailor a plan that was perfectly suited for us.
The process was seamless, and the level of customer service we received was exceptional. Roberts guidance and support were invaluable, and we are confident that we wouldnt have been able to achieve such a favorable outcome without his help. Thanks to Pearson Wallace Insurance and Robert, we now have peace of mind knowing that we are well-protected and are also saving money.
We highly recommend Pearson Wallace Insurance to anyone looking for comprehensive coverage and excellent customer service.

So easy to work with! After speaking with Alex and his understanding what I needed I received a thorough quote for both my home and auto insurance for far less money and better coverage than the insurance group I had been with for decades! Simple, thorough, easy and reliable!!! Thank you in a world where customer service seems relegated to online self service I felt finally, this group gets it!

I highly recommend PWI! They have handled my auto insurance policy for a few years now and Bobby has always been a pleasure to work with. Bobby is always there in time of need with any questions/claims I need to make. He is very knowledgeable and provides great customer service, I truly think he is an asset to the company! Thank you, Bobby, for assisting me on finding the policy with the best rate to fit my needs!

I had such an easy and wonderful experience with Pearson Wallace! Being a first time homebuyer, I was completely overwhelmed and knew little about the process. Robert helped by explaining every single detail and worked out a great package for our homes and auto. After reaching out to other local companies, this was by far the most reasonably priced, quickest to respond and helpful! I would highly recommend reaching out and asking for Robert!

I worked with Noelani at Pearson Wallace Insurance, LLC and cannot say enough great things about this company. From the minute I reached out, Noelani was personable, passionate and understanding of my situation, which made the entire process so smooth and seamless! Even when I had an obnoxious number of questions, Noelani was patient and answered all of them in a timely manner. I highly recommend Pearson Wallace Insurance, LLC for all of your insurance needs. Thanks again for all your help!

We found Pearson-Wallace on the internet, and we are certainly glad we did. We were looking to leave our current agency as it had purchased our previous provider and my experience with the new agency was that it was large and impersonal and was just part of a big regional bank. We were looking for an agency with real people we could talk to across the table and know that they were really a part of our community and that they would see us as individuals. When we called Pearson-Wallace we got right through to the President, Beth Pearson. We were able to meet with her without delay and she listened to our concerns and took them into account as she updated our policies to our current needs. Before our second appointment we talked and presumed that with all the updates Beth was going to show us, our auto and home insurances would certainly cost a great deal more. Boy were we wrong! We got better and more coverage for both of those and it cost us less! Additionally, Beth showed us that we were really taking a risk without a million dollars worth of umbrella coverage , and at only $50 a year more than we had already been paying we acquired some real peace of mind. We highly recommend Pearson Wallace and especially Beth for their professionalism, thoroughness, and personal and caring service.

I worked with Kristi at Pearson and Wallace and she is so knowledgeable in the insurance industry. She helped us set up a new umbrella and auto policy at a great price. Kristi is very responsive and she listens to what her clients needs and wants are! Highly recommend reaching out to her for a quote!

The best experience with an insurance company I could ask for. They have handled my auto & renters policies for years now and because of their customer service and pricing, I cant recommend them enough. Alex, along with the entire team, go above and beyond to ensure they take care of their clients. They are all very knowledgeable, responsive and accommodating. I have, and will continue to recommend Pearson Wallace to friends, family and clients.

The team at Pearson Wallace Insurance welcomed me and my daughter with kindness and professionalism. They helped us navigate the process for not only our insurance policies but also helped get our documents and appointments readied for our new drivers licenses and car registrations.
They went above and beyond other insurance providers and deserve the 5 star rating.

We recently worked with Bobby to obtain Homeowners (renter's) insurance for our daughter's apartment in Amherst, MA. His diligence, professionalism, and speed and clarity in communication greatly impressed me. And were also quite happy that he got us the best rate! We highly recommend Pearson Wallace and would use them again.

I was recently introduced to Alex by the fine gentlemen from whom I purchased a new car. My experience of Alex has been very positive: he is highly professional, knowledgeable, helpful and respectful. He did such a great job setting me up with auto insurance, that I transferred all my other insurance policies over to Pearson Wallace. Alex is responsive and thorough and I recommend him highly.

The staff at Pearson Wallace was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I reached out through receiving all of my completed paperwork in the mail, I was treated like family and felt entirely at ease. Alex took the time to find me the best coverage, and always kept me updated. His emails were always prompt and professional, even on the weekends! To top it off, Beth Pearson stopped into my office to meet me in person and welcome me to the Pearson Wallace family. Can't beat the service; wouldn't even suggest trying.

Being the owner of multiple investment properties, I recently turned to Beth Pearson for a full evaluation of all my insurance policies. After some thorough research, Beth and her team were able to provide me with better coverage and also make some significant financial savings all the while providing exceptional customer service. She was also able to provide me with policies that other insurance companies could not offer and worked directly with my bank and attorneys in the recent purchase and sales of several properties.
I now have great peace of mind knowing that Im fully protected and covered and I love that she takes care of everything efficiently and with a personalized service that I value greatly in my business. I have recommended her to colleagues and friends and will continue to do so.

Alex, of Pearson Wallace Insurance, LLC, made it very simple and straight forward to switch insurance carriers. I'd been with the same carrier for over a dozen years for Auto, Home, and Umbrella, and probably paying a little more than i should. But key for me (slightly old school) is 'real person interaction' - I've always had a contact person to call/text and address questions, etc. Alex became my go-to person, very responsive and professional, and provided a great product for my Auto, Home, and Umbrella. Didn't think i'd ever switch, but providing me the "service" coupled with a savings, i couldn't pass that up. Pearson Wallace Insurance provides a full-service

I was on the market for Homeowners insurance, and have called multiple companies and agencies. After 4 days of constant follow up with all the companies including the current company that I have my insurance with, I gave up. Then a close friend suggested Alex, and I should say, Alex was Prompt, asked relevant question, got me the quote under 1 hour, and was able to get the deal sealed in less than 6 hours with the most competitive rates. I highly recommend Alex and his team who just got a lifelong customer.
