ABOUT OUR AGENCY

I'm Jinisha Patel, owner of Patel Insurance Agency, a woman-owned State Farm agency in Brooklyn, OH. I've been a State Farm agent for 15 years and hold the ChFC® (Chartered Financial Consultant) designation. Our growing team of six serves a diverse community.

My journey began as a State Farm customer before I became a team member in my agent's office. I also owned a tax services business, helping individuals and families with their finances. Seeing how life insurance protects families from financial hardship inspired me to combine my business and financial experience with a passion for helping others.

Flexible work from home options available.

Compensation $40,000.00 - $70,000.00 per year

State Farm agents are independent contractors who hire their own employees. State Farm agents' employees are not employees of State Farm. Agents are responsible for and make all employment decisions regarding their employees.
