"At State Farm in Schenectady Shirley is friendly. She always makes a difference in my insurance care. She shows hospitality and greets me with a smile every single time I walk into her office. She acknowledges me upon entering and creates a warm welcoming atmosphere. She has a positive attitude at all times. She shows empathy and is willing to assist me/my family in any capacity that she can. She was and still is at the forefront of this company and makes her the one and only agent to call in the area for all your insurance needs!"

"I had the unfortunate situation where my current homeowners and auto insurance was leaving NY and I had to get new insurance. I reached out to Shirley Martinez's office and had the pleasure of speaking to Tomas who not only gave me quotes over the phone, but showed knowledge and interest in my situation. I couldn't be more pleased with the customer service I've received and care to give me what I needed. I encourage anyone who hates to have to look for new insurance to try this office out you will be very pleased."
"Robyn, Thank you so much for the 5 star review! I am so happy we were able to help you with your auto and homeowners insurance needs and get you the best price we could and the coverage you wanted. It was a pleasure to talk to you and get to know you. I look forward to helping you with anything you need."

"Shirley is extremely honest and kind. I wish she ran a brokerage bc I’m not a fit for State Farm, however I’d still go with her. The agent you use matters. If you use State Farm she needs to be your agent."
"Thank you for the 5 star review Elisabeth! I appreciate the kind words and I am excited to have your insurance back in our office soon!"

"Shirley is absolutely incredible. Not only did she help me get the best rate for car insurance, She took the time to explain to me exactly what paperwork we were filling out and why. She's wonderful and helped me filled out paperwork required for the DMV not even for insurance because I wasn't sure. I highly recommend going to Shirley for insurance, as she takes the time to not only get to know you but help you get the best quotes possible. Thankyou again <3"
"Thank you so much for the 5 star review Alisa! I was so happy to meet you and help you get your first vehicle set up! I look forward to helping you with any insurance needs you have."

"Shirley is the best! We are so thankful for Shirley and the time she spent with us trying to get us the best rates. We had recently been dropped by our current insurance company because both of our kids had accidents. We were looking at very high rates, 3-4x higher than what we had been paying. It was extremely stressful but from the moment I spoke to Shirley on the phone I felt a sense of hope. She took the time to go through our policies to see where we could save some money. She really helped us a lot and I feel so grateful."
"Kelly you're the best! Thank you so much for the 5 star review. I am so glad we were able to help you get the best price on your auto insurance. I'm sure that was a stressful experience, and we were able to alleviate that for you."

"Who needs Jake when there is Shirley! I have been a State Farm customer for life and have no plans to ever change. They say you pay a little more. I am not sure about that, but if so, I’m here to tell you, you get what you pay for (and it’s worth it). Some time ago my local State Farm agent passed away and I was reassigned to someone else. I am always a little apprehensive because you don’t always know what you are going to get. Shirley Martinez took me on as a customer. She got to know me, my family, and my business, and I have done the same with her and her family and her newborn. Shirley makes insurance fun -- if you can believe it! Shirley also leverages technology to make my life and the entire insurance process easier. I recently had an issue with glass (windshield) damage. I was bounced around multiple times, transferred multiple times, asked for the same information multiple times, and spoke to several people who were all very nice but couldn’t really help me. I didn’t want to call in Shirley but after a month when the customer service rep told me they don’t have my info on file anymore because it’s been too long, I had to call her in. I contacted Shirley who resolved my issue within the next business day and had someone call me when she said they would to confirm so I wouldn’t have wait in queue, just to be bounced around again. State Farm Corporate could improve their website and claims process although my situation was a little unique so it’s not all on them in this scenario. Either way, State Farm always finds a way to make it right, and that is what counts here today. At the end of the day, even with some bumps in the road along the way, Shirley Martinez is like a good neighbor. Shirley Martinez is there. Now that’s a jingle!"
"Thank you so much John! Your review really means so much to me. I appreciate you being my customer and allowing me to help you with all your insurance needs and trusting me with your friends and family. I love getting to know you and your family and all the amazing things you all are doing! "

"Shirley is so great to work with for so many reasons. She makes insurance easy and understandable and always communicates all of your options. She always finds a way to get us the best deal, and we’re so grateful for her expertise. She’s always available with quick responses to any questions you have, and she even helped us in record time after hours for an urgent request! We can’t say enough good things about working with Shirley, I highly recommend her services!"
"Congratulations on closing on your home Patrick! I’m so happy everything went through flawlessly. There is definitely a lot that goes into purchasing a home and I am so happy you put that trust in us for your insurance needs! "

"I reached out for a quote for a bundled auto and home insurance quote since I’m buying a new home. I got a great quote very quickly, and the process was extremely smooth! Would recommend!"

George Seabury

"After being with the same State Farm agent for over 40 years, I was concerned when I found out he passed away and that I would need to look for a new agent. I have been with Shirley for approximately two years and I cannot express how pleased I am with her service and expertise. I recently had a fender bender just before purchasing two new vehicles. She was extremely helpful with resolving my claim and even went the extra mile to assist me in finding a glass company that could replace my windshield in a timely manner so I could move forward with the new vehicle purchase. She also made the process of obtaining insurance for the new vehicles seamless. I would highly recommend Shirley to family, friends, and anyone in need of a new State Farm agent."
"Thank you so much for the 5 star review George! I am so happy to have you as a customer and that your concerns with a new agent were relieved. It was my pleasure to help you with your insurance for your two new vehicles and I hope you are enjoying them."

"My experience with Shirley was nothing short of spectacular! Within the same day Shirley took my call and auto insurance inquiry and had me a quote that blew everyone else out of the water. I would easily recommend her to anyone and will happily seek her out for all my insurance needs. Thank you, Shirley!"
"James I am so happy we were able to help you and your fiancé with your auto insurance and saving so much more than what you were finding elsewhere. Thank you so much for the 5 star review!"

"W.O.W. What an amazing experience !! The location is very accessible, and it is easy to see / locate when within the small plaza of Shirley’s (My Statefarm Agent) office … Not only this, but it is a truly beautiful building ! When you enter, there is a staircase or an elevator (if needed) to access her office on the second floor. Upon entry, there is a nice secretary’s desk along with a nice little waiting area. Almost immediately, I was called in by Shirley to take care of business ! She was very warm and kind in her greetings, and she was already on top of what I needed taken care of ! She was quick, efficient, and precise in her work … Not only this, but she all within a few hours from my first call she had everything I could ask for taken care of ! She was unbelievably prompt, and within 5 minutes of walking into the office I was already on my way out ! Completely satisfied and happy with my interaction, I am looking forward to seeing / am happy she is my StateFarm Agent ..! Thank you so much Shirley ! I highly recommend utilizing her for any of your insurance needs ! My family and I have worked with her for years, and she has always been consistent and dependable ! She has also always done everything in her power to ensure our needs are met … You truly couldn’t ask for a better agent !!! 😁"
"David, Wow back at you! Thank you for all your kind words. I love being able to help you and your family with all your insurance needs. I appreciate you so much!"
