Hi, I'm Alexis Zimmer! I'm a local State Farm Agent, proud Chicagoan, and someone who genuinely loves getting to know the people and families I have the opportunity to help.
I opened my State Farm office in 2020 with one goal in mind: to make insurance a little less intimidating and a lot more personal. Let's face it, insurance isn't always the most exciting thing to talk about, but having the right coverage can make a big difference when life throws something unexpected your way. That's where my team and I come in!
We're proud to serve Chicago and the surrounding Cook County communities, including Uptown, Lincoln Square, Albany Park, Bucktown, and beyond. We're also licensed in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, so whether you're a longtime Chicago resident, new to the neighborhood, or moving across state lines, we'd love to help.
Our office offers Auto, Homeowners, Renters, Condo, Life, and Pet Insurance, along with coverage for motorcycles, boats, and RVs. Whether you're buying your first car, settling into a new apartment, purchasing a home, or thinking about your family's future, we're here to help you understand your options and find coverage that fits your life.
My favorite part of being a State Farm Agent? The relationships. I love getting to know our customers, hearing their stories, celebrating their milestones, and being someone they feel comfortable calling when they have a question. No question is too small, and you don't need to know a thing about insurance before reaching out. That's what we're here for!
A Little About Me Outside the Office
When I'm not talking insurance, I like to stay busy! I like to play volleyball, train Muay Thai, long walks with my dog (Gus), a good book, and pretty much any true crime documentary I can find. I also love experimenting with new recipes on my pellet grill, and I've recently started golfing. Let's just say my golf game is still a work in progress!
Being involved in the community is a huge part of who I am. I'm proud to serve on the board of the Uptown Chamber of Commerce, where I get to connect with other local business owners, support our neighborhood, and help make Uptown an even better place to live and work. Chicago is such a special city, and I love being part of the community that makes it great.
I'm also a proud Indiana University Kelley School of Business alum. Go Hoosiers! And if you want to talk about Fernando Mendoza, I'm always happy to have that conversation!

One of our customers shared this about their experience:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I get a car insurance quote?
Easy! You can request a quote online, give our office a call, or stop by and see us. We'll ask a few questions about your vehicle, driving history, and what you're looking for, then help you explore your options. We're always happy to walk you through the details!
Q: How quickly can I get car insurance?
Sometimes as soon as the same day! It depends on your situation and eligibility, but our team can help you understand your options and get the process started. Whether you just bought a new car or are looking to make a switch, we're here to help.
Q: What insurance do I need for a leased car?
Leased vehicles usually have a few extra insurance requirements. Most leasing companies require liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, and they may have specific limits or deductible requirements. If you're not sure what your lease requires, don't worry! We're happy to help you sort through it.
Q: What is life insurance, and do I really need it?
Life Insurance is one way to help financially protect the people you care about. It can help your beneficiaries with expenses like everyday bills, or future financial needs. Whether you're starting a family, buying a home, or just thinking ahead, we'd love to help you explore your options.
Q: What does homeowners insurance cover?
Your home is where so much of life happens, and Homeowners Insurance can help protect it. Depending on your policy, coverage may include your home's structure, personal belongings, personal liability, and additional living expenses following certain covered losses. We'll help you understand what's included and what options may make sense for you.
Q: Do I need renters insurance if my landlord already has insurance?
Great question, and one we hear a lot! Your landlord's insurance typically covers the building, but not your personal belongings. Renters Insurance can help protect things like your furniture, clothing, and electronics from certain covered losses, while also providing personal liability coverage. Whether you're renting your first Chicago apartment or have been renting for years, we're happy to help you find coverage that fits your needs.
