Nelson C. Espeland: Allstate Insurance
You can view my financial industry experience and background at FINRA’s BrokerCheck
Local Allstate Agent: Meet Nelson C. Espeland
The Espeland family is proud to have served Allstate customers in our Scotch Plains location since 1982. I am a second generation agent who learned a great deal from my father prior to taking over the agency in 2000. While much has changed within the industry over the years, my agency’s core commitment to customers and my community remains the same.
I am an active volunteer for various community organizations’ such as Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plainfield & Middlesex County, Homefirst Interfaith Housing and Family Services’ Inc., and the Summit Area YMCA. I also earned the prestigious NAIFA Life Underwriter Training Council Fellow designation in 1999, which has enabled me to assist customers with financial services and life insurance. I am passionate about helping people learn how to protect the assets that they have worked so hard to earn, and to shield the families that they love from misfortune.

Support for Someone Special Needs You
Helping people is at the core of what we/I do, which is why we’re/I’m happy to support Someone Special Needs You through lending our time to back their cause.

Homefirst Hero Award Recognition
It was an honor to be a sponsor for the 30th Anniversary Awards Dinner for Homefirst Inc. After 16 years as Homefirst’s Vice President of the Board of Trustees I was awarded the Homefirst Hero award.

Giving back to my community is one of my greatest pleasures. I look forward to continuing to donate my time and energy to support Homefirst.
