Allstate Insurance Agent Maria Gonzales, Grand Prairie TX | Home, Life, Motorcycle, Auto and Car Insurance Quotes

I’ve called Grand Prairie home since I got married in 1985. I’m proud of how much this town has grown over the years and the well-rounded, diverse group of people we have here. As the youngest girl out of my 12 siblings, family is a very big part of my life. We’re always there for one another – which is what inspired me to do this type of work. I’m surrounded with good people and it’s a pleasure to help them.

As for me—I went to Duncanville High School, Mountain View College in Dallas and LeTourneau University in Bedford. My husband and I have two kids – our son went to MIT and is now an engineer, and our daughter received her Bachelor's from UNT and is currently going to UT Arlington working on her Masters. Outside of spending time with family and going to Gateway Church, I enjoy reading and watching movies—I generally go to the Cinemark in Cedar Hill or Arlington in the Six Flags Mall. Occasionally I like to go see live shows at Verizon Theatre, watch the races at Lone Star Park and go downtown for the Grand Prairie Farmers Market.

In an effort to give back, I have been a Chamber of Commerce member for several years where I welcomed local businesses to the community. We’ve sponsored the North Texas Thunder little league team and support SixR.org (an organization focused on recycling and teaching kids its importance to our planet). My mother-in-law unfortunately passed away from Alzheimer’s a few years back, so my family and I also do the Walk to End Alzheimer’s every year in Arlington.

In 2005 I had worked for Allstate’s corporate office for 15 years and I wanted to start my own business. Since the company had done so much for me and my family, I decided to start an agency right here in Grand Prairie. Too often I hear people buy insurance without understanding what they’re getting. What I enjoy most about my job is getting to assist people on the different types of coverage options. Our team is trustworthy, customer-friendly, positive and responsive (we get back to everyone in a timely manner). We speak Spanish and I keep myself available to talk with customers almost every day. Give us a call today or stop in to our office, we’re in the same plaza as the Marquez bakery, across the street from the Valero gas station.
