Michelle Marks

My name is Michelle Marks, a proud mother and wife, and a dedicated State Farm Agent serving the vibrant community of Redding, CA. My family and I absolutely love the North State and the beautiful surrounding areas of our community and are proud to call Redding our home!

I've been licensed in both Life & Health insurance since 2008, and Property & Casualty insurance since 2012 and was part of another successful State Farm Agent's office for over three years before getting the opportunity to run my own book of business. The Michelle Marks, State Farm Insurance Agency opened in January of 2016, yet we have over 30 years of combined State Farm Team Member experience in my office! I'm proud to say that my team and I are continually staying up to date on industry trends and deepening our insurance knowledge through continued education so that we are prepared for when our customers need us most.

In my role as Agent and agency owner, I believe it is crucial to support and train my team so that collectively our agency can provide a comprehensive range of insurance services by ensuring your loved ones' financial security by creating a plan to protect you and your family with the right coverage. My team and I are eager to help those in the areas of Redding, Anderson, Palo Cedro, Shasta Lake, Cottonwood, Red Bluff, Corning, and Mt. Shasta, CA to name a few.

Moreover, the Michelle Marks, State Farm Agency focuses on auto insurance, catering to a variety of vehicles such as motorcycles, trail and dirt bikes, ATV's and UTV's, as well as motor homes and trailers. You can depend on our office to help you select the coverage that suits your specific needs, so that you can enjoy your time on the road and worry less about the unexpected! Speaking of the unexpected, our team is not afraid to ask the tough questions about your current life and health insurance plans and what it would look like if you could no longer work, pay your bills, or even worse, pass away. We want to help you uncover those needs and see to it that you and your family are set up for financial security for years to come.

Outside of my professional endeavors, I am actively involved in my community and a proud member of the North State Cancer League since 2010, as well as a dedicated member/dancer/performer of the Cascade Theatre Company from 2010-2019. Additionally, I am honored to serve as a Board Member of the University Preparatory School Musical Foundation since 2019, supporting the growth and development of young talent in the arts. I also take great pride in giving back to the thriving sports community that we have here in Shasta County by sponsoring various school teams and programs. I'm a big believer in what being part of a team can do for our youth by teaching teamwork, leadership skills and overcoming challenges by working together to achieve a common goal!

As a member of Business Network International (BNI) through the Redding Rockstar Referral Chapter, and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), I am committed to building strong professional relationships and helping be part of a strong core of local business owners where integrity and service to others is our focus.

In addition to my insurance licenses, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from California State University Sacramento, which has provided me with a unique perspective on understanding and connecting with people from all walks of life.

I cannot emphasize more that my team and I are passionate about assisting individuals, families, and businesses in protecting their assets, securing their future, and being there when they need us most. Whether you have questions, need a quote, or simply want to discuss your insurance needs, we are here to help. Contact the Michelle Marks, State Farm office today, and let's embark on the journey of safeguarding what matters most to you and your family.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month!

Life insurance can feel complicated and overwhelming, but at its core, it's a simple way to plan for the financial future of the people you love. Life insurance is a great tool to help make sure that what you envision for your family and their future, will actually come to fruition. By putting a plan in place now, we can help you make informed decisions about the proper ways to keep your family protected, and give you the confidence that your policy is the right fit when the need arises.

None of us can predict the future and most of us hope to be around for a long time! We want to grow old with our families, run our businesses and work until we're ready to retire, give back to our communities, and enjoy our hobbies for years to come. But the one thing that is certain about the future is that it has no guarantees, and we just don't know how long we'll be on this earth. Life insurance is a way to help protect against this uncertainty and the positive financial impacts it can bring. Whether it's paying off your home, other debts incurred, helping to pay for college, or even one's final burial expenses, the type of Life insurance plan you choose can be there when it's needed most by your loved ones. #GoodNeighbor
