Local Allstate Agency: Meet Balke Insurance Agency
We were feeling spooky at work on Halloween!
I opened my agency in 2016, but the agency has been in the family since 2012. I work with my husband, Bill, so we have a lot of together-time! Before being an agency owner, I worked in engineering and management. I received my Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University, College Station and my MBA from the Jones School at Rice University. I have two children and am a native Texan; born in Waco, Texas and raised in Houston.
I have been in Customer Service for over 20 years. It is a passion of mine to help customers learn what they can expect from their insurance as well as how to get the most out of their policies. I have a 100% licensed staff so they are all able to provide knowledgeable guidance and support.
We support our community and charitable causes that help children across Texas. Some of the organizations we have made donations to on behalf of customers are Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude, Boys & Girls Club of Houston, Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Child Advocates.
