State Farm® Insurance Agent Joe McNamara

"During a difficult family transition, I found myself needing to step forward and take over my auto and home policy on my own. I spent time researching State Farm agencies in the area, and the consistently outstanding reviews for the Lake Zurich location immediately stood out. From the moment I called, the team responded with care, working diligently to ensure I had a policy of my own. Kora was my point of contact, and from our very first conversation, she made me feel completely at ease, as if we had known each other far longer than a single phone call. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine compassion created a seamless and reassuring transition. Kora handled every detail with grace, and her kindness turned a challenging moment into a true fresh start. Thank you, Kora, for being sensational and for showing up with such care when I needed it most. 🌟"

"I am so pleased with Cindy and her efforts for excellence and customer satisfaction. Cindy is always able to provide a correct answer and researches anything that might not be totally clear."

"I had just moved to the area and needed both house and auto insurance. I couldn't believe how quickly Joe and his team put together a quote that was more affordable than I had expected. Everyone in his office was friendly, easy to work with and very professional. I will definitely recommend Joe McNamara to my friends and family for their insurance needs."

"KORA IS AMAZING!! She was so helpful when my fiancé and I moved from CA, and she helped us transfer our insurance to IL seamlessly. She made sure she gave us the best deal and helped us add things to our policy to reduce our bill. She even helped set up a policy to insure my new engagement ring. She even went so far to send us a card congratulating us on our engagement. We heard of "Midwest Nice" in CA, but she is truly so very kind and the most helpful insurance rep I have ever had the privilege in working with. #KoraNice"

"I can begin to express how happy we are with Joe McNamara and his crew. Kora has been my main point of contact and has always been very prompt in answering all our questions."

"Joe McNamara provides outstanding service. I texted him directly about getting some info for my son to rent a truck. Within 5 minutes he had sent a new card with my son's name on it to provide insurance proof. This is one example of many times he's gone above and beyond to take care of my family and I."

"Recommended by my neighbors to try this office for quotes on both home and auto and exceeded my expectations. After my home and auto rates began to rise after years of no claims, I began my search to switch. I pulled many quotes from many offices and this office exceeded expectations. All office staff is extremely helpful and thank you to my agent, Mike Pontarelli, for finding me the best prices and insurance for peace of mind."

"I spoke with Tim on the phone, explained to him I needed proof of insurance on a rental property of mine sent to the county. He not only faxed it immediately, when the fax number I was given didn't work he emailed it to the county. He was persistent, professional, and communicated quickly."

"Tim Miller is who you want to have as your point of contact at McNamara insurance. He is professional, helpful and extremely responsive!"

"I’m a very happy customer of the Joe McNamara State Farm Insurance Agency, and many people I know have also been for plenty of years. In recent term, one person that stood out a lot to me and offered more than enough help, is Kora M. Quigley! She is extremely responsive, very attentive, and doesn’t miss out on any of the details! Between accidents, new car purchases, and everything in the middle, she has made it an extremely smooth experience. Couldn’t be happier with Joe and Kora!"

Tim was very helpful in getting me the best rate and coverage to fit our needs. Tim was very patient with all my questions."

"We have been with State Farm for several years. Sheryl has been very responsive and helpful with all of our changing needs. She even spent extra time to help determine some options to reduce our monthly rate. I would recommend working with Joe and Sheryl for your insurance needs."
