Matic is the first serious contender to grapple with this problem, and they've come loaded for bear with intuitive technology, top-of-the-line carriers and an exceptional service record. Freedom Mortgage is proud to partner with Matic in our quest to deliver a truly differentiated borrower experience. Mike Middelman Senior Vice President, Freedom Mortgage My real estate agent recommended Matic, and working with them was one of the smoothest experiences I had throughout the entire property acquisition process. Matic s knowledge and ability to source multiple insurance vendors tailored to my needs saved me so much time and allowed me to focus on other matters. As a first-time buyer, homeowners insurance can be a scary step. Matic was integrated with my lender, so they found me a perfect plan, clearly explained what I was covered for and found me a great price. And it all happened automatically. My agent has been very knowledgeable and helpful in trying to pick an insurance company. We feel we received a great deal and are happy with our choice. Thank you!! The agent gave EXCELLENT explanations! The process was very simple and thorough. We are glad to have found you! Our agent has been very helpful. He is easy to contact and well-informed. He has been the reason we are so happy. Very good customer service. Matic helps clients get reasonable insurance. Customer support was awesome so much easier to work with than the competition. Three days before closing, my loan officer told me that my high homeowners insurance premium had edged me over the limit to get cleared for closing. He recommended I talk to Matic. My experience was amazing. Within 30 minutes, the Matic agent secured a policy with a large national carrier for $30 less per month. I was clear to close on time! When I was contacted about lowering my crazyhigh insurance, I was skeptical but hopeful. I answered a few questions, and an hour later I had saved $2711! It was that easy and painless. Other insurance companies had refused to help me, so I felt stuck. Matic totally rocks! Our agent was very professional and had tremendous patience while dealing with underwriting delays related to the appraisal. I tell all of my friends and family that Matic is THE BEST!! My agent was very professional with great followthrough, which I find to be the most valuable trait in customer service. Very personable and patient. I had a great experience, and the agent made switching insurance easy. Terrific customer service. Very detail oriented.
