Rhonda Evans was about to graduate college and needed a job when she began working at GEICO. She thought it would just be temporary as I looked for the perfect job.
“Little did I know I had found it,” she said. “I enjoy the combo of business with the ability to talk to people.”
Evans has been working in Birmingham as a GEICO Insurance Agent since 2002. Before that, she worked in commercial insurance sales for two years and worked for GEICO in Honolulu for nine years.
Evans has two insurance designations (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter and Certified Insurance Counselor), and loves helping her clients with all their personal insurance needs.
GEICO offers property and casualty Insurance for auto, motorcycle, homeowners, renters, condo, mobile home, boat, ATV, RV, collector car, umbrella and commercial insurance auto along with identity protection.
“You get the best of having an agent with all that GEICO has to offer with a No. 1 rated mobile app and website,” she said.
Evans believes everyone can find value in their services. What sets GEICO apart from the competition is that they are the top-rated insurance provider and are able to offer an outstanding product with a local touch to community members.
“There are so many cases — our customers become family to us,” she said. “Because of what we do, we are able to celebrate new homes, cars, children driving, children getting married and more. We also know when someone has suffered a loss or received bad news.”
During COVID-19, Evans said she has made constant adjustments, but her number one concern is to be there and able to take care of her customers.
Evans and her team are involved in the community and support the many way they can. She said they enjoy being a part of so many of the local school sports. The Gecko can be found at events throughout the Birmingham area.
“I especially like to participate in local charity programs,” Evans said. “And of course I'm involved with sporting events around town.”
Evans said they love their new location on Highway 31 in Hoover and look forward to having an official grand opening in 2021. Their original one was delayed due to COVID-19. And she wants you to know that even though you might see the big GEICO sign while driving down Montgomery Highway, she’s a local agent through and through.
“We are local — born and raised right here and love all things Southern,” she said.
Evans said her most valuable trick of the trade is using the golden rule —treat others as you want to be treated — and to always listen and let others know you care.
