Goes Insurance Services

Our Story

GOES Insurance is a proud continuation of a legacy of quality service that began in 1936 with the opening of the Ted Olson Agency in Alta, Iowa. Over the decades, the agency has evolved, changing hands and names as it grew and responded to the changing needs of the community. The key thread woven through that evolution has always been a steadfast commitment to personalized service and a genuine desire to help clients find the best possible insurance solutions.

We are deeply rooted in the communities we serve, spanning from Alta to Storm Lake, Aurelia to Cherokee and everywhere in between. We have seen generations of families grow and change, and we have been there to provide the insurance protection they needed at each stage of their lives. Whether it was a first car for a teenager, a new home for a growing family, or the establishment of a thriving business, GOES Insurance has been a steadfast presence, offering guidance and support through it all.

Our Mission

At GOES Insurance, our mission is simple: to provide our clients with the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are adequately protected. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality insurance, and we strive to make the process as easy and straightforward as possible.

This means offering a wide range of insurance options to meet the diverse needs of our clients, from auto and homeowners insurance to commercial, farm, and health coverage. As an independent agency, we are not tied to any single insurance company. This allows us to work with multiple carriers to find the best coverage and most competitive rates for each individual client.

Going the Extra Mile

We understand that choosing the right insurance can be confusing. That's why we take the time to get to know our clients and their unique circumstances. We want to understand their goals, their concerns, and their dreams, so we can tailor a policy that meets their specific needs.

We are committed to providing exceptional customer service, built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and a genuine desire to help. We don't just want to sell you a policy; we want to become your trusted advisor, someone you can turn to for guidance and support throughout the life of your policy.

In addition to our commitment to personalized service, we also offer the convenience of making house calls. We know that our clients have busy lives, so we are happy to come to them, whether it's to review a policy, answer questions, or simply connect on a personal level. We believe that building lasting relationships is key to providing the best possible service.
