Exceptional Service and Personal Touch at Pearson-Wallace
After frustrating experiences with big-name insurance companies like Geico and Progressive, I decided to explore a local, family-owned optionand I couldnt be happier with my choice. Pearson-Wallace has completely exceeded my expectations.
Unlike the big companies, where you're often stuck on hold or navigating endless automated systems, Pearson-Wallace connects you directly with a real personimmediately. My experience with Marc was nothing short of refreshing. He took the time to patiently guide me through the process of customizing both my homeowners and auto insurance policies.
Marc's clear and thorough explanations gave me confidence and peace of mind that my home and auto are truly well-covered. The entire process was simple, efficient, and professional.
If youre tired of impersonal service and want a company that values its clients, I highly recommend Pearson-Wallace. Their dedication to customer care is unmatched, and Im so glad I made the switch.

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.

Pearson Wallace Insurance is the best available agency in my opinion. I had the hardest time getting the right policy for the right price for my business and Beth and her team did what no one else seemed to be able to do. Not only were they able to get me a far better price and coverage, but they kept things simple and easy and they did it with style. Do not spend your money on a policy for business without talking to these guys.

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.

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 insured out NYC home, cars and second home in Berkshires through Pearson Wallace. I can't say enough about Alex - he has been the most helpful in finding the best rate with max coverage, was available at minute's notice while I was at NYC DMV with paperwork, is always courteous and professional. Amazing service! Thank you.

Beth Pearson and her team provides exceptional service. Not only did they find better rates for us, but they explained the ins and outs of various policy options so that we may put together an insurance policy most suited to our needs. They also made our move from CT to MA easier by helping us with the process of getting new drivers license and plates. They are simply the best.

I had an incredible experience working with Pearson Wallace for Auto Insurance. Finding Auto insurance is never a fun task to do, but Bobby made the process so seamless. Bobby was very knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service by helping me find the best policy that fit my needs, better coverage and a significantly better rate! Thank you again Bobby!!

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.

I contacted Cole Lenihan because I had heard from a family member that he could get me a better rate on my car insurance policy. As a younger driver, I was shocked when Pearson-Wallace Insurance came back with an insurance quote from a reputable provider that would save me hundreds of dollars a year. Cole and their team worked to make sure that I knew that my new policy would be apples-to-apples with my old plan, while saving me hundreds. He was very responsive by phone and email, and when it came time to pull the trigger, the rate came in even lower than originally quoted. Cole even dealt with all aspects of canceling my former policy. Its great to know that I can quickly and easily get ahold of my insurance agent, and I really appreciated how seamless they made the process for me. Id highly recommend Pearson-Wallace Insurance.
