Karla A Steckel

I’ve been a State Farm agent for 20 years, proudly serving the residents of Dallas County and the surrounding communities. My talented, dedicated team handles homeowners insurance, farm insurance, auto insurance, life insurance as well as financial services.

I learned insurance from the ground up, starting with State Farm in 1992 as a claims adjuster, then working for five years in an agency field office. When I opened my own agency in 2000, it was like a dream come true, and I’ve been honored to help the people of this beautiful community ever since. At my agency, we love taking the time to get to know our customers and their needs, so we can make optimal coverage recommendations. It’s always a pleasure to help people manage everyday risks, plan for a successful future, and protect the things that matter most. We’re known for honesty, compassion, and customer service, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I grew up on a farm, and the rural lifestyle is always going to be a part of me. I’m a graduate of the University of Missouri with a degree in economics, and in my free time I still love spending time on the farm with my family, riding and showing horses, and raising cattle. I have grown children (and now grandchildren) living close by, so I consider myself very lucky. There’s nothing more important than family.  

I’m also passionate about service to the community and helping others. My agency participates in charity events and fundraisers on a regular basis, and we take sponsorship opportunities where we can. I also work with and support my fellow business owners in the community as a member of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce.  

My team loves spending time with customers, and we make sure everyone understands their policies very clearly. We’re always ready to help you find the right home, farm, auto, life, or business insurance for your needs—and we’re proud to offer banking and related services to the community as well.
