Ruth Stroup: Expert Insurance Agent Farmers Insurance: 510.842.3600 Email: rstroup@farmersagent.com Website: www.FarmersAgent.com/rstroup
Located in Oakland, we serve a diverse clientele. We have clients from all over the world from every walk of life.
Ruth Stroup became an agent for three reasons:
- To build a local business, serving local clients and giving back to the community.
- To provide an essential financial service without jargon, hype or sales pressure.
- To provide world-class service.
Working at a discount brokerage firm, Ruth saw first hand 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, she 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 she run her agency. Ruth’s goal is always to provide useful and timely information that will help you to make informed financial decisions. Insurance is one of the foundations of a strong financial strategy; this is one of the reasons she decided to open her agency.
