After a successful 10 years in real estate, Benée Irwin started an independent agency with State Farm in August of 1988. And she’s never looked back. Citing professional education and advice, Irwin illustrates how she keeps her customers longterm, “It surprises me how many people are buying liability insurance just because it’s the law and don’t understand how and if the coverage is protecting their assets that they work a lifetime to acquire.” It’s also their lawsuit protection, says Irwin.

“All policies are not created equal. If there is a big disparity in price, you should ask why,” Irwin explains. Does your policy have replacement cost on content as well as structure? What if replacement cost exceeds coverage? Will the roof be depreciated at a certain age? Are your assets protected if a lawsuit occurs?

As a multi-line insurance and financial services company, State Farm, No. 41 on the Fortune 500 list, offers a full line of auto, fire, business, life, health and financial services products. And, you can receive attractive discounts for bundling.

The best part of Irwin’s job is educating and empowering her policyholders to make the decisions that are in their best interest. Another plus: Mentoring her team and helping them to become the best that they can be.
