Allstate Insurance Agent

Maria Gonzales, Grand Prairie, TX

In 2005, after working for Allstate's corporate office for 15 years, I decided it was time to start my own business. Since Allstate has been such a big part of my life, I wanted to open an Allstate agency right here in Grand Prairie so I would have the opportunity to serve as a trusted resource for my friends and neighbors. Grand Prairie is growing rapidly and we are lucky to have amazing attractions such as a concert hall, horse racing track and water park. We also have a great farmers market that I enjoy visiting on the weekends.

My husband, David, and I have been married since 1985. We have two children, Phillip and Jennifer, and we are very proud of each of their accomplishments. Growing up, I was the youngest girl out of 13 children. Being a part of such a large family, my siblings and I were always there for one another in times of need. I was inspired to do this type of work because I like having the ability to be there for customers and treat them like family.

When I'm not in the office or spending time with my family, I am very active in the community. I regularly attend Gateway Church in North Grand Prairie, and I also try to give back whenever possible. Alzheimer's research is a cause that is near and dear to my heart, so my family and I participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer's each year in Arlington. I also sponsor a few children each year to participate in a program hosted by the Grand Prairie Host Lions Club.

Everyone at my agency is fluent in English and Spanish, which allows us to better serve the Hispanic community in their preferred language. I take pride in serving customers with integrity and in a timely manner. I invite you to stop by my office anytime for an insurance review. We are located in the same shopping center as the Monique Bakery, across the street from the Valero gas station.
