Client Testimonials

I've had to deal with numerous insurance companies over the years, I say "had" because insurance is a necessary evil and I don't think anyone likes having to buy insurance, and have never dealt with a better, more attentive, more efficient firm than McClatchy.

The McClatchy team is second to none. Great service!

Cheryl is such a ringer at doing this insurance stuff and she got us a rate way below we were paying!!

CHERYL WAS EXCELLENT AND MOST CARING !!! I really felt Cheryl understood my frustration and wanted to help me. She was very patient as she inquired about the my house and asked me questions, I felt that she really wanted to help me and I am very thankful that she did help me solve my Insurance problem.

Christopher at McClatchy Insurance was great to work with — responsive, efficient, and helped in tailoring multiple policies to our business needs. Quick turnaround made the whole process seamless. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Mike Hartman at McClatchy. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable about all the options and always available to answer questions. I will definitely work with Mike again in the future.

I was referred to McClatchy by my CPA and it was a wonderful recommendation. They are super professional, honest, helpful, and efficient. After establishing my policies a number of years ago, I have especially appreciated the outstanding service of Shelley who handles most of my needs. Kudos!

Called in later in the day and had the pleasure working with Harold, who obviously stayed passed their closing time to provide me a business insurance quote. From our conversation it was evident to me that this business is there to support the customer. I was given a quote that fit my needs precisely. Thank you to McClatchy, the 5.0 star ratings are well deserved.

My Landlord policy was recently cancelled as INS. CO. pulled business out of CA. I had been contacting numerous ins. co. receiving quotes but then no follow up from any of them. I searched again. Found McClatchy Ins. offered Landlord policies which many do not I had terrific service from Mr. C. Kerksieck. I had had an accident and couldn't do the inspection. He volunteered to handle it. When needed, he contacted tenants. He made the process so easy for me and so patient and pleasant in answering all my questions. He also had one of the least expensive policies offered. I highly recommend them for any insurance needs.

Our CPA referred us to McClatchy to help set up insurance for our start-up business, as well for a commercial investment property. We've been working with Christopher K for about a year now and he has been really great! Quick response, good explanation of what's available and what it means, a great partner. We have Contractor's Bond, General Liability, Auto and Property Insurance. Highly recommend!

Got referred to Christopher at McClatchy Insurance after having insurance cancelled on a rental property. He bound good coverage within 24 hours at a fair price, excellent service in a tough insurance market!

We were struggling to find options for commercial vehicle insurance and McClatchy Insurance made the magic happen. They were thorough and patient, helping me through the process of making the switch where others failed.

I thought I was out of luck after being denied by multiple insurance carriers after a series of tragic events. If you need a broker who will explore all options to get you the best rate and policy no matter what, this brokerage is for you. Specifically the commercial agent Christopher Kerkseick was an absolute gamechanger for us! 10/10 service!

Working with Harold was a breeze and he made the process of E&O insurance for my new travel agency easy to understand!

Have a history with McClatchy for 20 or more years (so long ago, I've lost track - referred by another long term McClatchy client). Always helpful, negotiating through often treacherous insurance waters to find the best coverage (home, auto, rental property).

I have been with McClatchy Insurance for 20 years for my homeowners and vehicle insurance. They are always VERY responsive and helpful. I wouldn't go through anyone else for my insurance needs.

I just started the process of getting new insurance for my company, and thank god for Richard at McClatchy Insurance. He helped me pick out what was right for me and expedited the whole process, WHILE ON VACATION! thank you again for making this THE BEST insurance experience i have had. 10/10 would recommend 👌

In a day and age where customer service seemingly has been tossed aside, Harold Newbill and Nora Kinch have proven otherwise. The Team at McClatchy Insurance have kept customer service alive and well. When I needed help with a commercial policy Nora Kinch came shining through.

I'm new to working with McClatchy Insurance but have been super impressed with their service and professionalism. Nora's work to address my particular needs have been stellar and immediate, and I expect she would treat any customer just the same.

Amazing!!!

In this trying time in California for a homeowner to obtain insurance for ones house, the employees of McClatchy Insurance understood the stress and concerns that I had as a homeowner. They really went far and above expectations. Nora Kinch, the agent I worked with, was extremely knowledgeable and helped me obtain the policy I needed. She has proven to be such an asset to McClatchy Insurance Agency. WELL DONE!

We have been working with McClatchy insurance since 1997 and have always experienced positive interactions and recommendations for the most appropriate policies that have met our needs. We would particularly like to give out a personal thanks to Nora Kinch who worked feverishly to ensure that we did not have a lapse in coverage. Her persistence, professionalism and dynamic interpersonal skills made us feel comfortable with the recommendations that were made. We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank her and the company for the outstanding job that was done.

We have been working with the McClatchy Insurance Agency Team for more than 25 years and trust them completely with all of our insurance needs. Recently, Nora went above and beyond with excellent customer service helping our son begin his own insurance journey with renter's insurance.

Trustworthy, follow-up when promised, and easily reached with questions.

The agency demonstrates people skills. The agency demonstrates human kindness with the ability to actively listen to its customers. I have never had to wonder if I would hear back from the agency regarding my concerns. Someone has always responded in a timely manner. The agency is very helpful and strives to make sure that I understand and is satisfied with the subject matter at hand.

Great business. I use this company for my Worker's Comp Insurance, but they are SO knowledgeable about everything! Great resource for your business!

They are a very experienced insurance company. Great staff. I'm very happy with them

SHOP 4 LESS LLC

Extremely knowledgeable folks were a huge help in getting insurance for our non-profit. Would highly recommend!

Harold and team are very responsive and provide personal service in addressing all my business needs.

When starting my LLC I reached out to several contacts for insurance quotes. McClatchy Insurance Agency responded promptly, developed referrals, aligned quotes which were appropriately priced. McClatchy provided the professional and trusted service for my business insurance needs and within a few days, my LLC was insured!

If you're an attorney seeking a whipsmart, diligent, and HELPFUL insurance broker who will not only place cost-effective and custom-tailored insurance coverage - but who actually HAS YOUR BACK when storm clouds appear, McClatchy Insurance (particularly Mr. Newbill) is your broker. I am one such attorney and I'm glad McClatchy is my broker.

I've been using McClatchy for years and they've always provided great service at a great price. Highly recommended!

A professional Company to work with. Harold is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have. Highly recommended

McClatchy Insurance team was very helpful and worked hard to assist me in making sure I got sufficient Commercial Coverage. Their combined knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness enabled me to make the best choices for my business. Jim Richards - USVetsDeliver

Great experience with Harold. Got coverage on my commercial properties within just a few days at a cost that worked for me. Very responsive and followed up immediately. Glad to have connected with Harold and McClatchy Insurance.

The McClatchy team is always very thorough, educational, and get's you the best quality & price available. I had them shop my E&O insurance last year and they told me they could not beat my current E&O coverage for the price. The entire process was very seamless & smooth and by the end of it I knew I had the best I could get!!

So if you're on the fence about your current insurances and you want to know what your options are, give them a call!

McClatchy Insurance genuinely cares about their clients and goes out of their way to help you select the right policies. If you want someone passionate about insurance (yes, I meant to use the word passionate), this is your team.

I am in the corporate event entertainment business and this is the busiest week of the year, but here I am writing a review because without the lighting-quick same-day turn around of an additional insured certificate by the amazing Shelley, the show would NOT have gone on! Truth is, this is exactly the kind of effort I have come to expect and rely on from the entire McClatchy team - I literally would not be in business without their help!

I had a great experience with McClatchy Insurance Agency. Harold Newbill is the man! He is knowledgeable, responsive, and personable. Best part is he saved me a ton of money! Highly recommend!

I need a business insurance for my company. They are quick and provide a lot of knowledge. Highly recommend them.

I just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know how awesome Harold and his group are at McClatchy Insurance in taking care of our business insurance needs. They take care of our general liability, garage keepers as well as our workers comp policy. Elisabeth turns around certs of insurance for clients and vendors typically within hours of the request. Dick has been there helping me since the beginning back in 2007, since I started my business as a handyman/home medical device retailer which has morphed into becoming a specialty and general contractor and has helped guide me though the complex world of business insurance. No matter what your insurance needs are, I am sure that Harold and his awesome team at McClatchy insurance will help point you in the right direction!

Bari did a great job getting me the best quote possible for my auto insurance. I was vey happy with that, and Dick got me a great quote and coverage for my general and professional liability insurance. Everyone at McClatchy is diligent and professional in getting clients the most coverage for the best deal.

Top notch service! Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I can honestly say that getting my two auto, renters and an umbrella policy(s) through McClatchy Ins., was the most enjoyable process I've experienced. I was greeted and offered refreshment (they have chocolate truffles)! The actual cost of my multiple policies is exactly what I was quoted. The policies were issued immediately, which allowed me to contact my "former" insurer and cancel. Seriously, take your declaration pages to McClatchy Insurance and request an insurance review and quote - I received better coverage(s) for less money, and enjoyed the process. Thank you Barri, Harold, Eesa, Helen, Dick, Bill and Emma!

Not much to say other than they are honest, fair and family owned. I'm not going anywhere else.

Dick and his staff have always been available and very aggressive in getting me the best coverage and price for my home and autos. I especially appreciate that a real person always answers the phone and directs me to the right person to take care of my questions and requests. I have been insured with McClatchy for years and never been disappointed.

I have been working with the McClatchy Insurance Agency, specifically with Dick Lemon for about 4 1/2 years and Elisabeth Nidoy for about 1 1/2 years through work. These two people are not only extremely friendly, but very knowledgeable, thorough and quick to respond, which is becoming very rare these days! If we run into issues, Dick explains the situation so I understand and then they move forward and get the job done....and they are 'fun' to work with!

After 25 years with Mercury Insurance and 3 previous attempts over the years to find a more cost effective option, McClatchy Insurance not only lowered my insurance premiums significantly but did it with the kind of customer service we all think went away years ago. It's still alive and well with them. Give them a shot.

Harold Newbill and his McClatchy Insurance team is super knowledgeable and professional. They don't hardsell you on insurance but give you advice so that you can understand your needs and options. As a small business owner, I appreciate this approach. You will be in good hands.

After years of being dissatisfied with insurance brokers for one reason or another I found Dick Lemon at McClatchy Insurance. His attention to detail and honest straight forward attitude has been a breath of fresh air into one of my least favorite aspects of being a business owner. I highly recommend Dick and his staff at McClatchy Insurance.

Harold and his team at McClatchy are true professionals and they know their stuff. They have helped me navigate the world of insurance for my businesses as well as my autos and home policies. They are detail oriented and I am confident that I have the best coverages and policies available. I had a challenge with one policy awhile back, and they stepped right up, took care of things and made it easy for me. Great agency.

I have been using McClatchy Insurance for all my insurance needs for approximately five years now. They are consistently responsive and informative, and sell high-quality policies.

When I was thinking about changing insurers due to a price increase, they were able to compare similar products from a variety of companies and provide me with good, well-informed advice about my options. As it turns out, I was already with the best company for my needs, but they didn't just tell me this, they showed my why it was true.

I cannot recommend McClatchy (or its owner, Harold Newbill) highly enough. They are honest, their prices are fair, and they put the customer first.

I produce aerial and acrobatic circus entertainment for corporate events. Please take a moment to imagine the complexities of such a strange niche business, and then consider how esoteric the insurance needs are. Is your head spinning yet? Yeah, mine too - that's why I rely so heavily on Dick and Elisabeth, the ONLY professionals I have ever found who can navigate the these treacherous waters with the greatest of ease!

Harold at McClatchy is the most passionate, knowledgable and friendly agent I've ever had the great privilege of meeting. He is incredibly informative and gives every indication that he's 100% trustworthy. If I were to pick someone to trust in protecting the things in life I've worked so hard for it would most certainly be Harrold!

I know a good agent, because I've had bad ones. Harold Newbill (the owner) is excellent. And because Harold is excellent, the agency is excellent. Harold is smart, helpful and a great listener. He gets back with you quickly when you leave a message. He's detail oriented -- which is very important with insurance. I'm a very happy customer, and when someone does a good job, I feel obliged to let others know.

I have worked with Barri, Dick and Harold in the past and have received outstanding service and advice every single time. If you need help with insuring your personal or business property please contact McClatchy Insurance Agency and you will received outstanding service.

Harold Newbill and the staff at McClatchy Insurance are the best! You won't be disappointed.

Met Harold today and was impressed by him and his operations. He is genuine and detail oriented and I never felt rushed so it is no wonder that he works in a comforting environment with good people.

I have known Harold Newbill for about 22 years and had nothing but first class experiences with him as a professional insurance agent. I would recommend working with him and McClatchy Insurance Agency for any of your insurance needs. He is very knowledgeable and professional.

We’ve done business with McClatchy and Harold for years. Highly recommended.

I've coordinated my auto and renter's insurance with Harold and McClatchy Insurance since January 2015. Harold and his staff personally took the time to sit down with me, assess my risk tolerance, and make strong personalized recommendations based on my current lifestyle. I feel very fortunate to have a personalized connection with an agent of his knowledge, experience, and dependability and would recommend his company to anyone looking for the same.

I have been a happy client with the McClatchy family for a long time. I love the great customer service they offer my Business. I appreciate the McClatchy family for what they do.

I've been working with McClatchy Insurance Agency for 2 years and have had nothing but great experiences with their staff. Jeff handles my business insurance and is the most knowledgeable agent I've dealt with! Michelle took care of my rental insurance and she is also wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. When I first walked into their office I was offered coffee and was seen immediately after. Harold and his team are great, I highly recommend McClatchy for any of your insurance needs.

Dick has been the most effective insurance agent we’ve used thus far. In our line of business it is often when we’ve imposed on him timelines that are nearly impossible. Not sure how he does it every time but he pulls through whenever we’re in a jam and need insurance within the hour. I would recommend Dick Lemon to all of my friends or collegues who are looking for a dependable and knowledgeable insurance agent. He’s the master at his trade!

Offers reasonable packages and rates. Easy to work with.

Great customer service!!! McClatchy Insurance Agency saved me about 400.00 the first year I switched to them. The team of people here really know what they are doing. We increased my coverage with less money. I was with Allstate before for over 22 years. I am super happy with McClatchy and I would recommend you give them an opportunity to quote your insurance needs.

If you are looking for a local insurance company you can trust look no further. Harold Newbill and his agents are top-notch professionals. You will always get an honest answer and above all they are very competitive. I would recommend any small business to call them first for a quote.

If your insurance agent is just doing the bare minimum, you might think about calling Harold to review your current situation. He’s honest and he’s a man you can trust.

I highly recommend Harold's business as a full-service insurance provider. Harold and his staff have extensive knowledge in the business backed up by many years of experience. Harold, personally cares about his clients. I like working with him because he gives his individual attention to each and every client of his which is huge in the era of the virtual world.

Harold has been extremely knowledgeable and efficient in all that our company has had him handle for us. We are now covered at a great rate, and have a knowledgeable staff behind us if we ever have concerns! Highly recommended!

Harold is a person with whom you want to conduct business. He’s knowledgeable, pleasant, and works hard. I’ve known Harold for years through our membership and active participation in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of California (IIABCal). We have also worked on projects together.

Harold and his organization are some of the most professional, well-trained insurance people in the industry. You couldn’t ask for a better business and personal relationship than the one Harold and his people will provide!

I have worked with Harold for the past several years, I have worked on several different projects with his staff and I find all them to be professional and informative. They have always put the client’s needs above all else. They provide the service and types of homeowners’ insurance that the other “bigger” companies cannot provide along with hands on help and advice for making the right decisions about protecting your home and personal property!

Harold Newbill and his staff are knowledgeable about the products they offer and the companies they represent, and they provide outstanding customer service. Highly recommend.

Being a business owner, I know value when I see it! The complete package is what you will get with Harold at McClatchy Insurance. He is always professional, timely and by far, the best insurance agent in Sacramento. I have been a client for 15 years and cant imagine that anyone else can provide such personalized service. Thank you Harold.

I have known Harold all of his life. I have had my insurance with McClatchy for over 30 years. I am thrilled he has bought the business from his father and will bring his innovative ideas to McClatchy Insurance.

I really like Harold. He’s a good insurance broker and a good person, I currently have more than 10 policies with his company and would recommend him to any person needing insurance services.

I am extremely delighted and grateful to have Harold as my Insurance Agent. “While you hope never to have to use your insurance, it sure is nice to have it when necessary.” This is how I felt when my house was broken into the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It was terrifying to see all my belonging thrown around the house with many of them missing. My first call was to Harold. He came over right away. As both my friend and my insurance agent, Harold helped me stay calm and look around. He is an expert and helped me understand the procedures and various rules on stolen goods. Thankfully Harold had encouraged my husband to get extra insurance on my jewelry. Due to this, I was able to get 100% of my missing jewelry covered, which would not have happened without the extra insurance on the policy. Together Harold and I made a list of all that was stolen. McClatchy was very easy to work with. With just a little paperwork, I was reimbursed for my lost belongings and was able to put my home back together. I highly recommend Harold and his company. I don’t know what I would have done without him.

Harold is an incredible service provider and the best at what he does. Having worked with him as my family has continued to grow and change he has always made sure that the right pieces are in place at the right time at the best cost. I value and trust his judgment as an expert in the field and know when he makes a recommendation it comes with experience, research and looking out for mine, my family’s, and my previous business’s best interests.
