Welcome to Suzy Zimmerman State Farm in Rolling Hills Estates, CA. I’m Suzy Zimmerman, and for more than 18 years as a State Farm agent, my team and I have proudly served the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the greater South Bay, and communities throughout Southern California with personalized insurance guidance and exceptional service. You’ll find us in the Academy Center at the intersection of Palos Verdes Drive North and Crenshaw Boulevard, where our office reflects the character of the area, and it’s not unusual to see a horse or two nearby.

Before becoming a State Farm agent in 2008, I spent 20 years helping people navigate the insurance process, giving me a broad understanding of the questions and challenges individuals and families may face. Our approach is personal, proactive, and comprehensive. We take the time to help people understand their coverage, review their insurance picture, identify gaps or opportunities, and stay connected as life changes. As I often say, we don’t want to be the agency you call only when something goes wrong. We want to help you avoid surprises before they happen.

Whether you’re looking for Auto Insurance, Life Insurance, Home Insurance, Condo Insurance, Renters Insurance, or assistance with hard-to-insure properties through the California FAIR Plan, we’re here to help you make informed decisions. We also assist with Commercial Auto Insurance and are licensed to serve customers in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. For those who prefer to communicate in another language, our office can assist in Spanish and German.

My background has given me a global perspective. I’ve lived in Germany, Singapore, and Central Illinois, and earned a degree in German/Business from the University of Illinois and the University of Vienna. I also hold the CHFC designation. Community involvement is an important part of who I am, and I’m proud to serve on the board of the Lomita Sheriff’s Station Foundation while remaining active with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Rotary Club and Palos Verdes Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. Our office also supports local youth sports, including sponsoring a Hermosa Beach Little League team.

Outside the office, family and community are at the center of my life. My husband and I have been married for 37 years, and we are proud parents of a daughter who graduated from the University of Oregon. Our family also includes Felix, our beloved cat. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy hiking, cooking, entertaining, reading, gardening, skiing, tasting new vintages, and traveling whenever I can.

If you’re looking for an experienced local insurance team that values education, service, and genuine relationships, we’d love the opportunity to connect and help you with your insurance needs.
