Ron Pino

Your Neighborhood State Farm Agent in Albuquerque

Hi there! I'm Ron Pino, and I've been helping Albuquerque families and businesses with their insurance needs for more than 35 years. My team and I are right here in the heart of Bernalillo County, and honestly, we wouldn't want to be anywhere else. You know how it is around here – from the Sandia Mountains to Old Town, our community is special. With more than 670,000 neighbors calling this area home, I've seen just about every insurance situation you can imagine. As a small business owner myself and an active member of both the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Albuquerque Chamber, I get what it's like to juggle everything life throws at you.

Here's the thing: insurance doesn't have to be complicated or scary. My job is to sit down with you, understand what keeps you up at night, and find coverage that actually makes sense for your life and budget.

Protecting You and Your Family

Car Insurance That Actually Works

Let's be real – driving around Albuquerque can be an adventure. Between the construction on I-25 and those sudden afternoon thunderstorms, you need coverage you can count on.

State Farm happens to be the biggest auto insurer in the country, which means we've got options. Whether you're a new driver (congratulations!), you drive for work, or you've jumped on the ride share bandwagon, we'll find something that fits. And getting a quote? It takes about as long as it does to grab a breakfast burrito at your favorite spot.

Home Sweet Home (and Renters Too!)

Your home is probably your biggest asset – around here, the typical home goes for around two hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars. That's a lot to protect, and a basic policy just won't cut it when life happens.

Renting instead? Smart move in this market! But here's what a lot of folks don't realize – your landlord's insurance doesn't cover your stuff. That new TV, your grandmother's jewelry, even your clothes – if something happens, you're on your own. What most people don't know is that this type of insurance costs less than they might think.

Life Insurance (Yeah, We Need to Talk About It)

Look, nobody likes thinking about life insurance, but here in Bernalillo County where the average age is pushing 40, it's one of those grown-up things we need to handle. It's not about you – it's about the people you'd leave behind. Your house, your kids' college dreams, even just everyday expenses. A solid life insurance policy means your family won't have to worry about money on top of everything else they'd be dealing with.

We've also got you covered for:

That motorcycle you've been eyeing

Your RV adventures

Weekend boat trips to Cochiti or Abiquiu

Condo living

Rental properties

Extra protection with umbrella coverage

Your valuable collections or jewelry

Small Business? We Get It.

Running a business in Albuquerque isn't easy, believe me, I know. Whether you're just starting out in a garage, growing into a storefront, or you've been at it for years, the last thing you want to worry about is whether you're properly covered.

We don't do cookie-cutter business insurance. Every business is different, and yours deserves a policy that actually fits what you do. Maybe you need a Business Owners Policy, commercial auto coverage, or workers' comp. We'll figure it out together.

Business coverage includes:

Commercial vehicles and trucks

General liability (because accidents happen)

Professional liability

Property protection

Home-based business coverage

Restaurants and food service

Churches and nonprofits

Questions? I've Got Answers.

Auto Insurance Stuff:

• Comprehensive vs. Collision: Collision covers you when you hit something (or something hits you). Comprehensive handles the weird stuff – theft, hail damage, or when a roadrunner decides to challenge your windshield.

• College kids: If your kids still officially living at home, they're usually covered. But if they took a car to school, definitely give us a call.

• New car: Got 30 days to let us know, but honestly, call us right away. You want to be covered from day one.

Home Insurance Questions:

• Market value vs. replacement cost: Market value is what your house would sell for today. Replacement cost is what it would actually cost to rebuild it from scratch. We base your coverage on replacement cost because that's what matters if something terrible happens.

• Stuff outside your house: Yep, your personal property coverage travels with you. Whether you're on vacation in Santa Fe or your laptop gets stolen from your car, you're covered.

• Mold: This one's tricky. If it's from something sudden like a pipe bursting, usually yes. If it's because you ignored a slow leak for months... probably not.

Life Questions:

• Term vs. permanent: Term is cheaper and covers you for a set time (like 20 years). Permanent costs more but lasts your entire life and can build cash value.

• How much do I need: Depends on your situation, but a good rule of thumb is 8- 10 times your annual income. We can sit down and figure out what makes sense for your family.

Ready to Get Started?

Here's how we can help you save money and get better coverage:

Bundle up: Combine your car and home insurance with us, and you'll probably save

some cash.

Life happens: Got married? New baby? Bought a house? Your insurance needs change too. Let's review your coverage once a year to make sure you're not paying for stuff you don't need or missing coverage you do.

Ask away: Seriously, no question is too basic or too complicated. That's what we're here for.

Want a quote? You can stop by our office, give us a call, or shoot us an email. We provide free quotes throughout the Albuquerque metro area and all over New Mexico.

After 35 years in this business, I can tell you that good insurance isn't about having the cheapest policy – it's about having the right coverage when you need it most. Let's make sure you're protected.
