Gustavo Soares

I’ve been a State Farm agent since 2015, after working for over a decade in the luxury hospitality industry, then joining State Farm as a team member in 2014. Now I’m proud to assist the residents of the Portland metropolitan area and customers from all over southwestern Washington. My agency handles homeowners and renters insurance, auto insurance, life insurance, business insurance and more—including financial services like banking.

My agency welcomes customers from all walks of life, and serves speakers of English, Spanish and Portuguese. We do this work because we love helping people manage everyday risks, plan for the future, and protect the things that matter most. We get to know our customers as individuals and study their unique needs before we make any recommendations. And we follow up with you regularly, to make sure your coverage grows along with you. We believe that insurance isn’t a sale; it’s a relationship that should grow and deepen over time. We care about you, and we want to be there for you whenever there’s a need.

I’m originally from Brazil, and moved to Florida over 20 years ago. I earned bachelor’s degrees in business management and marketing from Florida Atlantic University, followed by an MBA from the same institution. On a personal note, I’m married with one son, and in my free time I enjoy playing the guitar, staying in shape, hiking with my wife and spending time outside with my dog. I can’t get enough of the natural beauty in and around Portland—I visited here for the first time in 2012 and just fell in love with it.

I also enjoy serving the community and finding ways to give back. I’ve donated to and worked with Off the Sideline, an organization that provides scholarships for low-income youth. I also volunteer with the Hispanic Metropolitan Chamber, and serve on the board of directors for the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I’m always looking for ways to make a positive impact on the world around me.

My team and I love welcoming transplants to Oregon and especially the Portland area. And we’re always ready to help you find the right home, renters, auto, life or business insurance for your needs. Please call us or stop by for a free quote.
