Allstate Insurance Agent Lori Buhagiar, Middletown, NY

I have been an insurance agent in Orange County since 1999 and I am proud to have represented Allstate since 2005. I moved to the Hudson Valley, from Long Island, in the 1990s and I’ve enjoyed being part of a growing community and beautiful area. We have our rural areas and farms, yet New York City is close enough to visit to watch sports, see a show and enjoy shopping and restaurants. My passion for the area, including Middletown, made it an easy decision for me to purchase my own agency in 2015.

I find it important to be actively involved in the community. I work with RECAP Inc., Dispute Resolution Center and United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region & Sparrow's nest. I am a member and ambassador at Goshen Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Health & Wellness Committee of Orange County and a volunteer with the Humane Society of Port Jervis/Deerpark and Pets Alive.

When I’m not in the office or volunteering, I try to find time to relax. I enjoy hiking, long bike rides, reading and rafting down the Delaware River. Last but certainly not least, my family is everything to me. I love spending time with my husband , two daughters and assortment of rescue and foster pets. I’ve owned a variety of animals: guinea pigs, iguanas, a hedgehog, a bearded dragon, a pacman frog, cats, dogs, birds, a tortoise, fish, hamsters and a mini-juliana pig.

I am an Allstate agency owner because I love connecting with people and their families. I enjoy helping people and building relationships with customers. Our goal is to help inform customers about insurance and present them with options that fit their insurance needs. Once we present options, customers then can make an informed decision. Please call our office or feel free to just stop by.
