Josh provided a 'culture tour' of Capitol Benefits, presenting employee engagement best practices. The ideas he presented were simple, straightforward, and incredibly valuable. I left our session excited and eager to implement things to improve our culture. Highly recommend embarking on a 'culture tour' if you can!
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Thank you, Ryan, for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Josh's 'culture tour' left you inspired and eager to enhance your workplace culture. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to supporting your cultural initiatives!"

Very responsive agent! Truly LISTENED, responded to my questions and found the perfect product. Was also very honest about what he couldn't help with at this time. Felt like I was dealing with a friend.

We all need insurance to legally operate a vehicle and/or get a mortgage, but who to buy it from? I value independence and objectivity, so sought an independent agency. Capitol Benefits recommended a comprehensive coverage package (including personal umbrella) and then shopped the market for the best rate. Overall, a great experience.

Our daughters’ wedding was in Charleston, SC the weekend after hurricane Florence barreled down on the South Carolina coast. Not knowing if the wedding would take place until several days prior, purchasing wedding insurance as soon as we had the venue and the date, was the smartest thing we did. The wedding went on as planned and was fabulous! I highly recommend purchasing wedding insurance and Capital Benefits is the place to call! Ask for Kelly - she’s the best!

Alan was amazing! He suggested to directly contact our lender to ask for the required information instead of having me do so which proved perfect because of the short time frame I had to select an insurance policy and send it back to my lender before closing. Alan was professional, very responsive, diligent and he gave me much quotes than our current agent of 9 years did! I may be reviewing all my other insurance quotes through Alan. Thank you.
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Alan is incredibly knowledgeable and we love that you are so enthusiastic about the service he provided you with! He would be more than happy to review all your other insurance quotes and continue to find you the best coverage possible. Thanks for the review and we look forward to continuing business with you!"

I took over handling my parents' properties and auto insurance several years ago and what a mess it was. They had used Allstate for years and I discovered major overcharging and mishandling. I called Capitol based on reviews and have been working with Alan Putterman since. He was and continues to be unbelievably responsive and attentive. He matched our needs with the appropriate companies and coverage - homeowners on parents' home, rental properties, rental insurance for renters, and auto.
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Reviews like this are why we do what we do. We want to make insurance as simple and painless for our clients as possible while giving them the best insurance options to fit their needs! Thank you for being a great customer and for this review."

They helped me find a policy that fit our needs
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Hi [Member Name Removed]! We are excited to work with you and thank you for indicating that you would use us again in the future. We are always trying to improve and since most of our clients give us an "A" grade in Angie's List, I'd like to learn more about your situation to find out how we can improve and get from a "B" to an "A" with you. I will reach out to you separately to see what we could have done differently. Thanks again! Josh Lavine"

Alan explained everything to me thoroughly through this process. He got me the best quote available. Never had the process run this smooth.

It went well
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Hi [Member Name Removed]! We are happy to help, thank you for the review. We see you gave us a B for price, our prices are not always the lowest because we demand amazing coverage for our clients. Other agencies skimp on coverage for lower premiums, but we will always fight for the strongest wording possible to protect the client's best interest."

Travelers had been charging my mother $9,000 a year for house insurance, Capitol Benefits was able to drop it to $3,000.
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Lower premiums are always a huge plus! We are excited we found a solution for you that did not compromise your coverage while also being easier on the wallet. Thank you for your support!"

Josh was exceedingly pleasant to deal with. Her managed to get me the kind of policy I'd lost through no fault of my own. I am planning to contact him for insurance on my vacation home. In CT.

Josh was a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable, quick to respond to all of our questions, and he got us a great deal on our home and auto insurance! Now we have better coverage than our previous policy and the premiums are substantially lower. I wish I had done this a long time ago! We will definitely recommend him to our friends.
Response from Capitol Benefits LLC
"Thank you for the great review! We were happy to educate you so that you knew what to look for beyond what's on a proposal. We are glad that we were able to find an option that provided superior coverage and saved you money. We look forward to working with you for years to come!"
