"After we moved to La Crosse from the Cities, our agent in the Cities connected us with Charlie Smader and his office to transfer our insurance. We were lucky to get connected with Peyton, and he has been awesome to work with. Quick, responsive, and efficient. He answered all of my questions, and when we needed homeowners insurance for our new build, Peyton took that on with ease. I've had zero issues with the team here in La Crosse, and feel secure that they will take care of my family's needs if/when they arise."

"I and my wife grew up with Charlie Smader .. very good and thoughtful agent. Once we sold our house we weren't very insurable we kept land vehicles and a new home on wheels. I went to who ever would insure my land with no house and living the dream. Thanks to West Salem insurance and Geico. Sorry to say Jeff is not his dad. Good bye."

"I worked with Jeff Smader and he has done an outstanding job working with my mother and I. Worked with me personally, at length, to figure out some motor vehicle record/underwriting issues that were troublesome. I am pleased about the rates, discounts, and level of professionalism I have received working with this office and agent; thanks again, Jeff."
