Allstate Insurance Agent Brenda Soto Bryan, Long Beach, CA

I feel very grateful to be an Allstate Agent and Agency Owner. My career began 38 years ago right here in Long Beach, and my office is located in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood. I'm very much a people person and that’s what makes me excited about coming to work every day. My business has really been developed over getting to know the customer and their family, by finding out who the important people are in their lives and what’s most important to them. I appreciate their friendship and loyalty, and I hope that I add more than just a business relationship to their lives as well. Developing the relationship with customers has made me feel like I'm their friend, and they're my friend too. After 38 years, I’m helping with insuring the third generation of customers within many families.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends. My husband Curtis, is a retired motorcycle officer with the California Highway Patrol, so we support the California Highway Patrol South LA Area 5 Club, and the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation. We are raising two great nieces, ages 10 and 8, which allows me to stay committed to mentoring and setting a good example for young girls as a 30+ year Girls Scout Leader, as well as, a financial supporter of Girl Scouts of Orange County. Our daughter Dominique is a property & casualty/ life agent who works in the agency with me, along with her husband (my son-in-law), Jeff Irwin. I am mentoring them both to be the next generation of Agents. I feel very fortunate to still have my parents with me, who are very supportive of my business, lending a hand whenever need be. As a family, we enjoy sharing experiences together, and our weekends are generally dedicated to our faith community, as well as the activities of the girls, allowing them to experience a childhood where they can try new things that may lead to their gaining many interpersonal skills and capabilities. I can’t forget our two dogs, both Labradors, Max and Madison.

Over the years, I have come to develop a unique understanding and perspective regarding insurance. My 36 years of experience has made me realize that insurance is about Asset Protection and Risk Management. I believe that it's my job to educate customers about risk, helping them to protect the things that they are working, or have worked, so hard for - their income, family, and assets. I am proud to count my success in more than just years. I count it in the customers my agency serves, as they have been an integral part of my achievements. I invite you to call us and become a part of our many more years of success to come!
