Welcome, Good Neighbors! Here at Barbara Merten-Dubensky State Farm Agent, we look forward to taking care of you and your family with personalized insurance coverage and top-notch service. While our Birmingham, Michigan, location first opened in 2005, I joined State Farm back in 1986 and have been a proud insurance agent protecting Oakland County since 2000. My team and I are committed to supporting you just as you need, taking your unique needs and circumstances into account to keep you safe and happy today, tomorrow, and long into the future. We're also honored to be recognized as a WBENC-certified woman-owned business!

Our office is happy to help Good Neighbors throughout Oakland County, from Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Troy to Royal Oak, Pontiac, and Clawson. To help make things extra simple for you, we provide a wide range of coverage options to make our office your one-stop-shop for all things insurance. When protecting your loved ones, we have Life and Health Insurance plans for you to choose from. If you're upgrading your ride, we also offer Auto and Motorcycle Insurance plans. If you've just moved to the area, please don't hesitate to ask us about Home, Renters, and Condo Insurance. For small business owners, let's chat about Business Insurance coverage to make sure your company is well-protected! If you visit us in person, there's an added bonus: you'll meet our office mascot, Gigi! As a second-generation State Farm Agent, looking after Good Neighbors is quite literally in my blood. Having grown up learning about the insurance field, I have dedicated my life inside and out of the office to helping those around me wherever the opportunity appears. I love helping our local community as a member of the Birmingham Bloomfield and Rochester Chambers of Commerce. I also proudly support the Michigan Animal Rescue League and Michigan Humane Society. In my spare time, I love gardening, hiking, golfing, and playing tennis. Let's get started on your safer future today; stop by our office or give us a call!
