Local Allstate Agent: Meet Steve Cates

View this video on YouTube

I’m an Allstate agent for the same reason why I spent 23 years as a police officer: It’s rewarding to be there for people when something unexpected happens to them.

I became an Allstate agent in Council Bluffs in 2007. You might say my work as an Allstate agent is all in the family: My wife of 38 years, Carolyn, works with me, our daughter Amy is our office manager and my daughter Becky’s best friend is part of our team, too. I like to say our agency is honest, caring and awesome.

Council Bluffs, home to the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, has transformed from a railroad town to a modern city, and I’m proud that it is my hometown. My wife and I raised our daughters here. We now have one busy granddaughter, Jayden, plus a houseful of fur babies – our dogs, Lucy, Alex and Zoey, and our cats, Skitty, George and Lily.

Before becoming an Allstate agent, I worked for a U.S. congressman and devoted 23 years to law enforcement until becoming injured on duty. I especially enjoy doing insurance reviews for customers and assisting customers as they make decisions that help protect what matters most: their family, home, car and boat.

When I’m not working, I enjoy collecting sports memorabilia. My office is a shrine to the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Kansas City Royals. In fact, I’ve visited Kansas City every year for a Royals game since 1974. Before I die, I want to attend a game in every Major League stadium. It would be even better if I could drive my dream car, a 1969 Chevelle SS, to the games.

We specialize in auto, home and renters insurance as well as life insurance and retirement. Find us just off Interstate 80 at South 24th Street.

Products we offer:

Auto Insurance in Council Bluffs
Close Auto insurance modal
Helps protect you and your vehicle if you’re involved in a car accident. At a minimum, you’ll likely need bodily injury liability and property damage liability to meet state auto insurance coverage requirements and help protect your finances if you cause an accident that injures another driver or damages their property.

We also offer uninsured motorist coverage to help with your expenses if you’re hit by a driver without insurance. If you’re looking for coverage to help protect your vehicle, you might want to consider collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, which help pay repair costs if your car is damaged in a covered loss. And, optional coverages, like new car replacement coverage or loan/lease gap coverage help protect your investment in a brand-new car.

I can help you choose a combination of coverages that fulfill state requirements and meet your needs. Give me a call to get a car insurance quote today!

Business Insurance in Council Bluffs
Close Business insurance modal
Allstate Business Insurance protects your business in ways other insurance might not. A business owners policy (BOP) usually includes three common types of coverage to help protect you and your small business: property coverage, general liability coverage and business interruption coverage. In addition to these basic coverages, the Allstate Business Owners Policy can be customized with additional protection to help cover more aspects of your business.

I can help you tailor a policy to fit your small business’s needs. As a small business owner myself, I understand how important it is to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.

Call me for a free review of your current business policy and to learn more about insurance solutions to help protect you, your business and your employees.
