"Navigating through the process of investing, and also when to retire and not knowing what that would look like, has always been concerning to me. Where to start seemed overwhelming. When I met with Derek, he asked questions about me, my family, what we enjoy doing and took the time to really get to know us. He made the process so enjoyable and not intimidating. He put my mind at ease and we collectively created a plan, with his guidance every step of the way. I am so impressed with Derek and Angel, and I am finally at ease now, looking forward to retirement, and feeling like I actually can, comfortably. Thank you so much for that peace of mind Derek. I would highly, highly recommend Derek and Angel and their team to everyone - they will be in good hands, whether it be investing or insurance needs! Thank you again!"
"Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It is truly appreciated. "

"We've had all our insurance with Derek and his crew for over 20 years. Derek is very knowledgeable. He listens and doesn't try to "sell" you things you don't need. His office staff is also very knowledgeable. We would and have recommended Derek to family and friends. You won't go wrong with Derek!"
"Thank you! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with our office. "

"Been with them for about 5 years, no accidents, dui's, etc but insurance never goes down. I moved and needed them to send my information to Nebraska but the rude office lady who complained about other office ladies needing better training sent my information to California instead. Now I'm fighting to have it moved to Nebraska again. But I've been told that I need to go to "my statefarm" office to transfer it."
"Kelly, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I'd be happy to personally help you resolve this matter. Give me a call at (712) 202-0017"

"Staff is excellent, they always respond in a timely manner and get quotes put together fairly quick. If I have any questions they are answered right away.

"Fantastic agent, fantastic staff! I have Had different Agents through out the years and none of them had the attention to the customer experience like this office. i sincerely thing the folks love what they do and find joy out of helping you through the process. to touch on another review about being dropped. that is a reflection of the company not the insurance agency. there are things that are out of the agents control. As someone who works in a field that deals with insurance claims on a daily basis, i can tell you State Farm Insurance is the best and easiest to work with. and for me my coverage went up and my rates went down by switching."
"Thank you! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience."

"my policy was cancelled because i used it. i literally paid them for a service, used it, and had my policy cancelled. hilarious, not winkel's fault, but worth mentioning. my 1 review star is based on angel and her refuting that she had direct contact with me regarding this and another issue, though i have phone records that show a 16 minute conversation took place. that is called lying, right? i mean, i have proof that something happened and she says it didnt. i dont know, maybe thats not a lie in sioux city."

"Derek and the team go above and beyond to provide you with the best experience possible! I have been purchasing business and vehicle insurance from them for just over a year, and they always provide efficient, high quality service. Beth never fails to make sure I get the best coverage for an affordable price with no hassles."

"I have had my insurance with Derek Winkel for years. They have helped me with home, auto, and life insurance along with retirement. He is very knowable with everything to do with insurance. The people that work in the office are amazing and are more then happy to help if with questions."

"Derek has been my insurance agent for a number of years now. He and his team has always been incredibly helpful whenever I have had questions or needed clarification on various things. I was recently in an accident that was the fault of the other driver so everything went through their insurance company. Having never had to deal with a car accident before, and even though I wasn't making an official claim, Derek and his team went above and beyond in making sure I understood the process and felt comfortable/informed throughout the whole ordeal. They are a pleasure to work with and I can't imagine switching agents!"

"15 years ago, Derek became the State Farm Agent who insurance our car and house. We really appreciate how he gradually introduced the idea of putting away money for our retirement. He made suggestions but patiently waited until we were ready to act. Derek Carefully answered all of our questions in an understandable way. Each time we meet with Derek, it was easy to see that he values his customers and is truly invested in their best interest. He has become a trusted friend. We have always been impressed that he is more interested in our current well being and planning for our future than in selling insurance or investments/IRA's. Each worker in the Derek Winkel Agency gives personal attention to customer's questions and needs. We wholeheartedly recommend Derek and his staff for anyone's insurance or investment needs."
