Irene B. Was extremely helpful in customizing the best auto \ home combination that smoothly transitioned from my previous agent. She also took the time to recommend and explain her recommended changes from my previous policies. Having someone I trust, whom I can reach and ask advice brings great peace of mind.

I originally called because I received a form regarding my mom still being on my insurance policy after she passed away last year. I spoke to Meredith who was very kind about the situation. When she asked if there were any other issues she could help with I jokingly stated " No, well aside from my insurance premium going up." She could have apologized and said I understand but unfortunately that's the rate. Instead she looked around and found me a policy that saved me a lot of money! The transaction was smooth and Meredith made sure to keep me informed of everything Via email. That initial phone call ended up making my day. Made my year. Maybe my mom was looking down, helping me out. Either way, much appreciation to Meredith and how she went above and beyond to assist me.

I am so glad a friend recommended Tetrault Insurance. I had been with a different agency for many years and had no idea they were not shopping for the best rates at renewal times. After my policies skyrocketed the best quotes I received were from Tetrault. Irene has been such a pleasure to work with, she is truly wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about her and the help she has provided me.

Meredith went above and beyond ***** Recently I was in the office discussing my auto insurance and the increase on my monthly payment. Meredith stated to me that she would need a day or two to look into this matter. A day later, she called me back asking if I wouldn't mind changing my MainInsurance Company. And if so she could save me about 300.00 aYear.(With the same coverage ) *****Thank you MeredithABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrific experience navigating the education of learning the layered Massachusetts Insurance regulations. Acquired assistance with residential, auto, and Life Insurance expertise from Irene Bello and others in the office. Most appreciated service was response, professionalism, and the quest to find the option which best fit my needs and budget. Highly recommended!

Worked with a fine agent named Amanda who made dealing with insurance (of all things) a pleasure. She gave extra effort to get the best coverage out there at the best premiums. She also answered all questions thoroughly. I highly recommend Tetreault Insurance.

I was recommended to speak with Manuela at Tetrault for a policy transfer and so glad I did. The interactions were super quick, easy, and friendly. And she was able to get me a much better policy then I had been able to get from other agencies (local and national).
