State Farm® Insurance Agent Catherine Riedstra

"Recently met with Catherine in person for a review of our policies. She was well prepared and patiently answered all of my questions. I have mostly had phone contact with specific questions and her staff have been prompt and helpful."

"Catherine was very efficient in explaining all the details of our policies to us. She shared with us how we had sufficient coverage on each policy."

"With our move to SLO, it was time to find a local State Farm agent. I’m very glad we found Catherine Riedstra! Catherine recently spent an hour going over our policies—patiently answering my many questions and making thoughtful recommendations. Claire and Amy were also very helpful with the process of changing agents. The office has a friendly feeling, while also being professional and clearly dedicated to clients’ needs. Five stars."

"Catherine and her staff are always helpful and willing to address any questions or concerns. They take the time to listen and offer suggestions that best my needs. I highly recommend Catherine as your State Farm agent. I’ve been a customer with State Farm for many years and will continue to be because of their excellent customer service."

"Ashley made the process of insuring my car with State Farm quick and painless. Thank you!"

"Excellent and very responsive service with minimal involvement from my side. I appreciate them jumping right in and tackling the heavy lifting for me."

"I have been with this agent and company for a few years now. They are so responsive and helpful. Today I had to call in with changes I needed on my policy. Claire was very efficient in accomplishing my transaction and following up with a phone call and email. I never had this kind of service at the company I had prior to this! I can't recommend Riedstra Insurance Agency enough!!"

"Great service and attention to customers. Ashley was awesome. I highly recommend!"

"Catherine has been the best insurance agent I’ve honestly ever had. From the subtle kind gesture of sending me delicious cookies after becoming my agent from day 1, to helping me through a claim that happened on private property & holding my hand through it all as my first incident to being an overall amazing agent by keeping me well informed & her honesty. She never hesitated to be there when I needed her, had questions or needed answers or something fully explained-she was there to make sure I fully understood policies & she does it with patience & great customer service. You can tell she truly cares about her clients & her efforts show! Unfortunately State Farm raised the prices in Jan 2025 for California & Oregon, which increased my monthly premium nearly $50 & it was already at $300 a month for full coverage auto & renters bundle. I was doing what I could to keep my agent, however found another insurance that offered the same premium, coverage & deductible for $150 less at $210 a month & I could not refuse financially. This has been one of the hardest things for me to adjust to, as I already Miss Catherine & my State Farm customer service. Financially though, I couldn’t justify it. I sure do hope I can return at a later time & get Catherine back. She’s amazing."

"Our family has been with State Farm for 5 decades. The last few years Catherine Riedstra has been our agent. She reviewed all our policies and gave us excellent advice. We recommend her if you are looking for insurance."

"Catherine and her team are exceptional! Great customer service all around; I would highly recommend both for insurance purposes as well as financial services."

"Got the opportunity to talk with Catherine directly due to coverage limit changes in CA ,and she is really great. I had a backlog of small questions accumulated over several years that I didn’t actually expect to get answers to, but to my surprise she was incredibly fast looking through my file and untangling many small details from years ago and explained with perfect clarity. She is very transparent, and her approach to sales and overall way she treated me was also great. I don’t like being pressured or even scolded about coverage choices - But she framed things in a way where I felt she is really just looking out for my best interest, and to do what makes sense. I would go out of my way to remain her client."

"I've had a fantastic experience working with Catherine Riedstra at Statefarm Insurance Agency. Catherine and her office manager, Amy East, are incredibly communicative. They ensured I understood my policy and answered all my questions. They respond promptly to any inquiries or claims, which I really appreciate. Their helpful and friendly staff always go above and beyond to assist. I highly recommend their insurance company for their excellent service!"

"I appreciated how quickly, quietly, and efficiently Amy addressed all my questions regarding my auto coverage. Great to work with! A+ from me"

"I was changed to this office when my current agent retired. It’s been such a pleasant experience! I’ve never had to deal with Catherine directly but Amy is AMAZING! She answers questions quickly and gives me the information I need to make informed decisions."

"Amy East has recently helped me with quotes and insurance coverage on two cars that I purchased. In each case, she provided a quote and later overage within just a couple of hours of my request. All my questions were fully answered, the costs are reasonable and I am delighted with Amy and Catherine's State Farm agency."

"Catherine and her team are very helpful and caring. I got just the coverage I needed. Thank you!"

"State Farm wanted me to wait 2 weeks until they okayed my signing a new auto insurance policy with them . I passed . Be careful ."

I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with her level of expertise and professionalism. From the very beginning, she was quick to respond to my inquiries and always made herself available to answer any questions I had.
