After a decade handling insurance claims, Kyle Magne is, for the first time, an agent with his own office, Magne’s State Farm Agency at 200 West Ave., Suite 102, in Saratoga Springs, just north of Saratoga High School.
He is reveling in his new role.
“In claims, you get to help people and you never see them again,” he said. As an agent, he looks forward to establishing long-term relationships with clients. His office offers “a plethora” of insurance products as well as financial products.
In recent years, State Farm has been emphasizing financial products, including mutual funds, as well insurance, he said. Magne hopes to add services as a financial planner to his agency.
“That’s my goal, I hope within a year,” he said. Overall, “Our mission is to educate people so they know what they have.”
What Magne referred to as his team, includes another licensed agent and two others who are studying for their licensing examinations.
“We’re having fun we’re helping people, we’re happy,” he said.
Magne already had some Saratoga Springs customers when he opened his office. Others have come through social media and referrals.
Magne’s office is open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, “I’m there and the door is open.” His website is saratogaagent.com. The telephone number is518 633-1010.
