Career Info
2006 - Present
Farmers Insurance Group, Ruth Stroup Agency
Located in Oakland, we serve a diverse clientele. We have clients
from all over the world from every walk of life. And our homes are as
unique as the people who live in them.
I became an agent for three reasons:
- To build a local business, serving local clients and giving back to the community I call home.
- To provide an essential financial service** without jargon, hype or sales pressure.
- To provide world-class service, because I wanted it and figured my friends, colleagues and neighbors did too.
1995-2005
Financial Professional
Working at a discount
brokerage firm, I saw firsthand how hungry people were for financial
information, and how much they appreciated having someone to talk to
when they had questions. When information and resources became
available online, I found that people still needed help with things like
setting goals and understanding their risk tolerance, because these
topics are personal, and talking to someone helps people create
solutions that are right for their situation.
This experience shaped the way I run my agency. My goal is always
to provide useful and timely information that will help you when you
make informed financial decisions. Insurance is one of the foundations
of a strong financial strategy; this is one of the reasons I decided to
open my agency.
