Brian Downes

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!

Hello to the wonderful people of NY! I am so happy to meet you. I am a long-time resident of the beautiful community of Bayside, Queens. When I am not here in the office serving our policyholders and providing remarkable customer service, I enjoy spending time going to the beach with my husband. There is just something special about spending a few hours with your feet in the sand and gazing upon the ocean. It’s the most enjoyable way to relax after a long day or week! Are you also a fan of spending a morning or afternoon at the beach?

I am proud to offer my services in both English and Korean and am looking forward to welcoming you to our family. My goal each and every day is to ensure that your important assets and precious family are properly protected. Please call or visit our office to review your insurance needs today.

NY의 멋진 사람들에게 안녕하세요! 만나서 정말 반갑습니다. 저는 Queens의 아름다운 Bayside 커뮤니티에서 오랫동안 거주해 왔습니다. 저는 여기 사무실에서 보험 가입자를 섬기고 뛰어난 고객 서비스를 제공하지 않을 때 남편과 함께 해변에 가는 것을 즐깁니다. 모래에 발을 담그고 바다를 바라보며 몇 시간을 보내는 것은 특별한 무언가가 있습니다. 긴 하루 또는 일주일 후에 휴식을 취하는 최고의 치료법이자 가장 즐거운 방법입니다! 당신은 또한 해변에서 아침이나 오후를 보내는 팬입니까?

영어와 한국어로 서비스를 제공하게 된 것을 자랑스럽게 생각하며 여러분을 우리 가족으로 환영하기를 기대합니다. 나의 매일의 목표는 당신의 중요한 자산과 소중한 가족을 제대로 보호하는 것입니다. 귀하의 보험 요구 사항을 검토하려면 오늘 저희 사무실에 전화하거나 방문하십시오.

It is my pleasure to meet you. As a fellow resident of the Flushing, Queens community, I understand the concerns and needs of you, our neighbors and am looking forward to delivering an exceptional customer experience. That begins by building strong relationships with our policyholders, so please allow me to share a little about myself.

Spending time with my family including my wife Holly, our son Elijah and our feline family member, our cat Layla brings me a tremendous amount of joy. I am grateful to be so incredibly blessed. Being of service to others has always been an important part of my character. I had long desired to earn the title of United States Marine and proudly, I accomplished this goal on April 3, 1998. Enjoying my favorite sports teams battle it out on the field, the baseball diamond or the court are some of my favorite pastimes. You can always find me rooting for my squads whether I am at home or enjoying a game in person. So for all of you NY Mets and NY Knick fans, I’m always “game” to talk about last nights scores and plays of the game! Traveling is also a passion of mine, some of my favorite places to visit are Miami, Cape Cod, Washington State, VA Beach and Europe.

My customers love doing business with me because they say I have a pleasant, calming voice and I’m always willing to assist them with policy questions or concerns. They love to do business with someone who shares the special bond of being a fellow Queens, NY resident. We live here and raise our families here, so it’s important to treat one another well. My policyholders all know how much I enjoy reminiscing about our neighborhood’s past and sharing memories of what it was like growing up here back “in the day”.

I am extremely proud to be a part of the small business community in Flushing, Queens serving our policyholders, friends, fellow business owners and neighbors. I am happy to welcome you to our State Farm Family and am looking forward to providing and servicing all of your insurance needs for many years to come!

I have enjoyed a career in the insurance industry for over 25 years. I began on the claims side, serving policyholders and assisting them through claims process. Once I transitioned to an agency, I knew I had found my passion. Protecting the lives of my customers and their family members from the unexpected remains my priority. Having vast knowledge of the insurance industry allows me to assist our policyholders with their Auto, Home, Condo, Renters, Life, Health and Small Business Insurance needs. I believe strongly that it is our duty to deliver outstanding service while providing accurate information and professional guidance during every customer interaction. I am incredibly proud to be part of our family here at the Brian Downes State Farm Insurance Agency.

I am a New Yorker through and through and currently reside on Long Island in the town of Huntington with my family and my Golden Retriever, Sonny. My family and I are dog lovers, there is nothing better than spending time with Sonny on long walks, hiking and of course playing at the beach! Sonny definitely runs our household!

Visit one of our Queens, NY offices in Flushing or Fresh Meadows to ask about protecting what is most important to you. If you prefer to do business over the phone, give us a call today. We also offer the ability to meet virtually to make access to our team easy for you. We do business based upon the needs and preferences of our customers. I look forward to meeting you, your family, friends and business partners and welcome you to our State Farm family.
