I’ve always had the desire to help people and being a professional in the insurance industry has given me the opportunity to do that each and every day. I am incredibly grateful to have the ability to make a difference in the lives of our policyholders. I have been a part of the Brian Downes, State Farm Insurance family for over 20 years and I can honestly say, the years have gone by quickly! Delivering outstanding service to our policyholders and to our community is something I strive to do every day. I can assist you, your family members, friends and business associates in selecting the Auto, Home, Renter’s, Condo, Life, Health and Small Business insurance that fits within your budget and addresses your needs. Having 20 years of experience and a depth of knowledge of the insurance industry, I truly understand the needs of small business owners. Protecting what you have worked so hard for is extremely important.
I was born and raised right here in Flushing, Queens, NY, so this community is my hometown! I attended St. John’s University and graduated with a degree in Business Management. Currently, I reside on Long Island with my husband, two handsome sons who are growing up way too fast and my “third child”, a German Shephard named Allie. To say that my family is my world is an understatement. I treasure every moment that I am blessed to spend with them! I enjoy exercising daily, reading, having a good laugh and spending time traveling with family and friends. My favorite place to be is at the beach. It’s my “happy place” where I find peace, serenity and joy.
Your time is valuable and your family is a precious gift. I am dedicated to work with you in a way that makes sense based upon your needs while fulfilling my duty as your insurance professional. If you were to ask my customers, they would say they love doing business with me because I am knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to their needs. I am looking forward to welcoming you to our State Farm family. Please stop by to meet our team here at Brian Downes, State Farm Insurance!
