Ernest Soto

My name is Ernest Soto and I am the proud owner of the State Farm Agency located at 129 Woodstock Ave. in Rutland, VT. I proudly serve all of Vermont but I like to think of us as the premier insurance company in Rutland. I earned the privilege of being a State Farm Agent in October 1998. A State Farm Agency is not a business you can simply buy. Rather, it is a business that has to be earned and requires a passion for helping others. I originally joined State Farm in 1992 and worked in the claims department through 1998. Through my years as an insurance agent I earned insurance designations including Life LUTCF and the National Multiline Award. I also earned recognition including Legion of Honor and Ambassador Travel Qualifier. In October 2019, I celebrated my 21st anniversary as an agent. I have been married to my wonderful wife Michele for 32 years and we have one child.

We serve our neighbors in Rutland, Windsor, Bennington, Addison counties and beyond. We can provide for all of your personal insurance and business insurance needs. We love dogs and welcome your appropriately secured pets in our office.

Our customers enjoy the flexibility of working with our insurance agency because of our ability to make both insurance quotes and service easy and convenient. Our team stands apart from other insurance agencies with our ability to put together insurance plans that fit your needs while helping you understand your insurance policies. We offer free auto, motorcycle and recreational vehicle quotes. State Farm offers low mileage and safe driver discounts on auto insurance. State Farm's homeowners, renters, condo and rental property insurance does not ban dogs based on breed. Additionally, daily or seasonal is rental okay. As a small business owner myself, I understand the needs of a small business owner and we can help provide protection for many types of businesses and contractors.

If you prefer working with local folks and also like all the benefits of a large, national company with 24 hour access by phone, the web or a smartphone app, then we are what you are looking for! Stop-bye and meet us! Sydnee will greet you at the door with a smile!
