Ted Baszto: Allstate Insurance

Local Allstate Agent: Meet Ted Baszto

My mother owned a local insurance agency which is what got me interested in pursuing insurance and led me to get my first license at age 18. After seeing how the administrative side of things worked, I opened my first agency in 2011. I went on to open my second agency in 2015 and my third in 2016.

I've lived in the Venice area my entire life, leaving only for a short time to go to college. I chose to open my agencies here because it's home. Venice is an amazing community with a lot to offer. You have Venice Beach, the shark tooth capital of the world, our historic downtown and the famous Siesta Key only a short drive away. When I'm not in the office, you'll find me taking advantage of our local beaches – I love boating and water sports.

I enjoy staying involved in the community and support many local organizations, including the East Coast Humane Society and the Epiphany Cathedral School. I currently serve as the director of the Epiphany Cathedral School Board.

At home, I have two dogs – a yorkie named Benji and a Maltese yorkie named Brody who I've nicknamed Cow because all he does is eat, sleep and graze around the house. I'm fortunate to work with my brother, Barron, (our Office Manager). My sister, Ashley, is a professional ballerina for the Orlando City Ballet. A few interesting facts about me: I hiked 53.5 miles of the Appalachian Trail (and I will never look at it again after that), I was an Eagle Scout with Boy Scouts of America, and I was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity in college.

I became an Allstate representative because I knew I wanted to help customers protect what matters most to them. With a brand like Allstate behind them, I know they have the opportunity to protect their homes, cars, families and much more. My staff and I strive to be as efficient as we possibly can for customers. We want to understand your needs, so you can choose the coverage that’s the right fit for you. Whether you need an auto or home policy, or want to discuss the benefits of life insurance, we can assist you. Stop by today to say hello and see how we can help.

Products we offer:

Auto Insurance in Venice
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 Venice
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.

If your ATV is damaged in a crash, collision coverage may help. Collision coverage for your ATV helps pay for repairs if you hit another object, such as a fence or a tree. Finally, you may want to consider comprehensive coverage for your ATV in case it’s stolen, vandalized or damaged by hail or fire. Give me a call to get a quote on an ATV insurance policy today!
