Allstate Insurance Agent Alissa Gutierres, Martinez, CA

I love the small-town feel of Martinez. I have lived here since 2006, and my family – children, Nico, Lorenzo, Kirsten and Kayleigh, partner, Alex, and dog, Cali -- loves living close to the downtown area. It's amazing being able to walk to dinner at some of the delicious restaurants, local parks and events at the marina. I love running into folks I know all over town. It is nice to know we have personal relationships along with our business relationships. There is so much to do and see right here in Martinez!

It is very important for my agency to be involved in the community. We support the Martinez Youth Baseball & Softball, Bags 4 Kids, John Swett and Las Juntas elementary schools, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano and Alhambra High School sports. We also sponsor the Shell-MEF Run for Education.

Being a business owner is in my blood. When the opportunity to own an Allstate agency came along, I had to jump on it. Everyone needs insurance, and I wanted to provide the highest level of customer service and knowledge. Our agency's goal is to help customers understand what they are purchasing so that they can make informed decisions about their coverage. Since I opened my doors it has been very important to me to grow organically. I did not want to be an agent that just shoves a bunch of policies in my book. I want to know customers and I want them to know my staff, my family and myself. You will often see my children and my dog at the office. When you come in to see us, you will be greeted with genuine hospitality and warm smiles. We hope to see you around!
