Want Jeff looking after your insurance?

Google review, word for word

Jeff Forbes was fantastic to deal with. He helped our business to obtain insurance when other brokers were unable to. He was so friendly and helpful and responded quickly to any emails or phone calls. I have already recommended him to friends who are needing help with insurance and would definitely use him again with any other insurance matters we might have in the future.

Jeff, Isabella and the team are absolutely brilliant! We have been working with them for many years now and they are always happy to answer any questions we have and have provided us with the perfect insurance solutions for both our business and personal needs. A recent personal insurance claim was handled by Isabella, and I couldn't be more grateful. She managed the entire process so quickly and efficiently, and I was beyond thankful for the outcome. The level of service, communication and professionalism from both Jeff and Isabella has been exceptional. I never hesitate to recommend Consolidated to anyone looking for either business or personal insurance.

Jeff and Tracey Friedland do a great job at CIB. Always timely, responsive and thorough. Highly recommend them for all your general insurance needs.

Lance Cheung · · Brisbane (New Farm)Broker: Tracey Friedland

Didn’t end up using their services, but I can tell CIBs best quality is its transparency. I submitted an RFQ for a motorcycle insurance policy and received a little bit of information from Jeff. After sending him a follow up email, Jeff was very upfront and honest with me that using an insurance broker won’t be cheaper than going to a direct insurer (e.g. AAMI). However, those who have a business and want to group all personal and commercial policies under one “umbrella”, CIB are the way to go. I appreciate Jeff’s honesty and professionalism and would encourage you, if you’re considering CIB and are their target demographic, to take them up. If an account manager doesn’t take advantage of someone who knows no better, you bet your bottom dollar they’ll whatever they can for you come hell or high water—a rare quality in today’s world.

CIB have been fantastic in assisting with our business insurance needs. Debbie is our representative and she has been thorough, prompt and very efficient and professional. Both Debbie Jeff have assisted with thoroughly explaining technical jargon to ensure that we have the correct business cover required. Will be switching to use CIB for all our insurance needs in the future.

Karen, Jeff and the team at Consolidated Insurance Brokers are awesome! My Cavoodle puppy destroyed the couches and I lodged a claim for accidential damage. The process was easy and the claim was approved quickly.

I can't thank these guys enough. Holly has finally be able to insure my 4x4 and all accessories without alot of headache work for myself. Having family that are in the 4x4 game she know her stuff. No second guessing or over explaining yourself. She just gets it. Plus about $400 cheaper than I can after the commision. Thank you Holly. And Jeff is my main man. He saved me $2500 on my house insurance. The service that these guys give you is amazing. Thanks again for all your hard work and taking alot of stress out of my life. I loved sticking it to NRMA after 14 years with them and no claims. thanks Consolidated Insurance Brokers. Your worth ever cent.

We have Consolidate Insurance Brokers as our agent for more than 10 years. Jeff and his team are amazing in every way to deal with. They are extremely quick to respond and always giving very informative information on any questions about policies and claims. Never have to worry about renewal time, they always find the best deal in the markets before renewal dates. CIB and especially Jeff would be the only insurance broker we will use and recommend to anyone! Thank you for looking after all our other businesses through the years.

Chapel Hill Retreat · · Brisbane (New Farm)

We have dealt with Consolidated Insurance Brokers for over 20 years. Jeff and his team are amazing. They are quick to respond to our queries and very helpful in explaining all options so we can make a informed choice. Being a mobile hydraulic business we feel we are safe and covered at all times as they manage our insurance for our entire fleet. We would highly recommend CIB to any business and personal insurance customers for peace of mind and expert advise. Thanks again for all your help and support!

I cannot recommend Jeff and the team highly enough. We have used Jeff's services for a few years now, they are always response and helpful. Trusted advice and great value always.

Sydney Dream · · Brisbane (New Farm)

We have been so happy with the service provided to us by Jeff and the team at Consolidated. We rely on Jeff to advise us on all facets of insurance for our busy electrical contracting company and also personally. We have never been let down. Any contact I make is always tended to very promptly, every renewal is provided with comparisons and when we have been required to claim, the process has been easy and hassle free. I can't recommend Jeff enough, he really cares about his clients and we are very happy to be one of them.
