What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Insurance policies for homes, hobby farms, commercial leases and general cover sit at the centre of the feedback for this Melbourne brokerage, where Tom Teom is singled out repeatedly as the reason clients stay and refer others. Reviewers describe him as efficient, thorough and highly knowledgeable, able to explain complex policy wording in plain language so that decisions become straightforward. A theme running through the feedback is his willingness to chase the right product at a fair price, with several clients noting that he secured stronger cover while reducing what they paid.

Communication before and after a policy is arranged earns consistent praise, with calls and emails returned promptly and questions answered in detail, sometimes well beyond standard hours. Clients also value the patience shown when unfamiliar areas such as commercial leases are involved, and the sense of reassurance that follows once cover is in place. The tone throughout is one of trust built over repeat dealings, with many stating they would move all their policies across and pass his name on to family, friends and colleagues. Prompt service, careful follow-through and clear advice define the experience.

They do nothing when there is a problem and you need your policy EBM and QBE - Waited 12 months to have a property claim settled. QBE offered a cash settlement amount for a cost based off a QS assessment, because they couldn’t find a builder to do the work. The one builder that would do it, was higher on price by $30,000. So why would you not pay out the market rate of the repair? They then took 4 weeks to pay the settlement amount because they forgot (and didn’t reply to 3 emails). EBM don’t get involved or even try to assist.

Recently had a EBM member inform me about what they had to offer. I find their new updated appearance and new approach a great move, really stepping into the future! They are focus on the customers at hand and sound very genuine. They will cover you for most things and in most cases, a lot more than many other insurance companies. Will be suggesting EBM for here on out!

Tom Teom from EBM has been an incredible resource for me. Tom has done his very best to get an insurance policy offering the best cover (for my Hobby Farm and house/contents), at the most reasonable price possible and has saved me money with his efforts! Tom is very easy to engage with and will always call/email you back ASAP. I definitely recommend Tom from EBM to anybody!! Claire, a satisfied customer ;-)

Tom Teom at EBM is a true professional in every aspect. He is efficient, thorough and very hard working in attempt to achieve the best result for you. He has a vast knowledge in insurance which made our choices easier. He took the time and effort to explain which insurance would suit our needs best. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom Teom to anyone who has insurance needs.
