Your Local State Farm Agent in Vinton, VA!
Susan Balderson is your local State Farm Agent proudly serving Vinton, Roanoke, and the surrounding communities throughout Roanoke County and Southwest Virginia. Along with my team, I believe insurance should feel straightforward, personal, and approachable. Great service starts with listening, not pressure. Our goal is to help you prepare for life's unexpected moments and protect what matters most while making sure you feel confident and comfortable with your coverage.
My State Farm journey began in 2009 when I started as an office manager in West Virginia. After years of gaining valuable hands-on experience in the insurance industry, I opened my own State Farm agency in 2022. Following a brief relocation, I was excited to bring our office back home to Vinton on October 1, 2025. Being in the office every day allows me to stay closely connected with our customers and ensure each person receives the care, attention, and experience they deserve.
As a local Vinton insurance agent, we help individuals and families with a variety of insurance needs, including Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, Condo Insurance, Business Insurance, Life Insurance, and Financial Services. Whether you are purchasing your first home, reviewing your current coverage, relocating to the Roanoke area, or simply looking for a personalized insurance quote, my team and I are here to help you find coverage that fits your unique needs.
We believe insurance is about more than policies, it is about building relationships. If your current coverage is a good fit, we will tell you so. If there are opportunities to better protect your home, vehicle, family, or future, we will walk through your options and help you make an informed decision.
