Patch spoke with Janie Sue Valdez to learn more about their experience in the insurance industry, the benefits of getting a personalized policy quote and their favorite things about Temple.

How did you get into the insurance industry?

I got into the insurance industry, because I thought more personal insurance agents where needed. Someone local that would talk with you and help you understand what coverages and deductibles actually mean.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

Learning. Learning about what policy holders want and need vs a cheap basic policy. An insurance policy is valuable when an unexpected claim needs to be filed. I learn every day, and I am hoping to always give confident knowledgeable information.

What’s something you wish everyone knew about insurance?

That it’s more than just making a monthly payment. If you understand exactly what insurance covers, it will make you confident when something unexpected happens.

What’s something you wish everyone knew about working with a local agent?

Local agents answer their phone and call you back. We are in the community.

What factors should someone consider when exploring their insurance options?

Consider how you understand best when you communicate and make sure you find an agent that will communicate with you like that.

What would you tell someone who’s on the fence about getting a personalized insurance policy quote?

Just try it. It will either give you peace of mind knowing you are properly covered with a great price, or it will find you a policy with the coverages and price you can appreciate.

What do you like most about the Temple area?

It’s home. We are one big community that comes together for events.

What’s your favorite restaurant in the Temple area?

Cheeves.

What’s one hidden gem in the Temple area that everyone should know about?
