Office Hours

Welcome to the Chris Janet State Farm Agency in Waukesha, Wisconsin! I began my State Farm career in 1998 as an Auto and Injury Adjuster and opened my Waukesha agency in September 2016.

Today, my team and I bring approximately 40 years of combined insurance experience to conversations with individuals, families, and business owners throughout Waukesha County and the surrounding Midwest.

With a background in Risk Management and Human Resources, I value taking time to understand each customer's circumstances before discussing insurance options. Whether you are purchasing a vehicle, settling into a home, growing your family, or operating a business, we can help you explore Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, and other available State Farm coverage.

Our agency is also licensed in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Iowa, allowing us to assist eligible customers whose insurance needs extend across state lines.

🤝 A Second-Generation State Farm Story: Meet Chris Janet

State Farm has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father has served as a State Farm Agent for 50 years, and growing up, I saw firsthand the relationships he developed with families in his community. That experience influenced the type of agency I wanted to build.

Before becoming an agent, I worked as an Auto and Injury Adjuster and gained experience supporting State Farm agencies throughout my career. My background in Risk Management and Human Resources also shaped the way I approach insurance conversations today.

My family and I have called Waukesha County home for the past decade, and we currently live in Brookfield. Being part of this community has given me opportunities to develop relationships with individuals, families, and business owners throughout the area.

Our team includes Christy, who brings seven years of insurance experience, and Carissa, who brings five years. Together, we focus on getting to know customers, understanding their current coverage, and explaining available choices in straightforward terms.

And if you visit our Waukesha agency, there is a good chance Bailee, our beagle mix and office mascot, will greet you before rolling over in hopes of a belly rub.

🎶 Downtown Waukesha Is More Than Our Business Address

Being part of downtown Waukesha gives me opportunities to connect with the community beyond our agency. As President of the Waukesha Downtown Business Association, I work alongside local business owners and community leaders on events and initiatives that help keep downtown active and connected.

The Waukesha Farmers Market and Friday Night Live are personal favorites. Helping organize these events gives me opportunities to support local businesses and see residents and visitors come together in downtown Waukesha.

I am also a former member of the Waukesha County Business Alliance, a supporter of the Waukesha Area Chamber of Commerce, and a supporter of Brookfield Glacier girls hockey.

These connections are an important part of why Waukesha County feels like home and give me another perspective on the families and businesses our agency serves.

🛡️ Insurance Options for Waukesha and Across the Midwest

Life in Waukesha County can include daily commutes, homeownership, growing families, local businesses, and weekends spent enjoying Wisconsin outdoors. At the Chris Janet State Farm Agency, we help customers understand coverage for the different responsibilities, properties, vehicles, and activities that are part of their lives.

🏡 Personal and Family Insurance

🚗 Auto Insurance
From everyday drives around Waukesha to changing commutes, newly licensed drivers, and Wisconsin road trips, transportation needs can evolve. Purchasing a vehicle, adding a household driver, or changing how a vehicle is used may introduce new coverage questions.
🏡 Home Insurance
Renovations, roof replacements, finished living spaces, and significant property improvements may provide useful context when reviewing coverage for your home and belongings.
🏠 Renters Insurance
Whether you rent an apartment or house, your belongings and personal liability have insurance considerations separate from those addressed by your landlord's policy.
🏢 Condo Insurance
Condo ownership involves individual insurance responsibilities alongside coverage maintained by the condominium association. Understanding those differences can help clarify questions involving your unit and belongings.
💍 Personal Articles Insurance
Jewelry, collectibles, sports equipment, and other valuable belongings may have insurance considerations beyond a standard household policy. We can discuss available options based on the items you own.
❤️ Life Insurance
Marriage, welcoming children, homeownership, career changes, and additional family responsibilities can change the financial commitments you carry. We can explain available Life Insurance options based on your circumstances.
🩺 Health Insurance
Changes involving employment, household circumstances, or other life events may introduce new health coverage questions. Our team can provide information about available Health Insurance options.

💼 Business Insurance

🏢 Small Business Insurance
For entrepreneurs and business owners navigating changes involving property, equipment, staffing, and operations. Our team can explain available coverage as businesses evolve.
🚚 Commercial Auto Insurance
Company cars, work trucks, service vans, and other eligible vehicles used for business purposes have different considerations than personal transportation. We can discuss coverage based on how those vehicles support your operations.

🌲 Wisconsin Recreational Insurance

❄️ Snowmobile Insurance
Wisconsin winters bring opportunities for riding on designated snowmobile trails when conditions allow. Purchasing a sled, adding another machine, or changing riding habits may create new coverage questions.

For campers, motorhomes, weekend getaways, and longer road trips throughout Wisconsin and beyond.

Whether your insurance questions involve your household, business, or recreational vehicles, our Waukesha team is here to explain available State Farm options.

❤️ Life Insurance in Waukesha: Planning for the People Who Matter

Life Insurance conversations often begin with the people who depend on you and the responsibilities you carry. As families grow, homes are purchased, careers change, and new obligations arise, those responsibilities can look different from one stage of life to the next.

At the Chris Janet State Farm Agency, we help individuals and families throughout Waukesha County understand Life Insurance based on their current circumstances.

When should you revisit Life Insurance? Marriage, welcoming or adopting a child, purchasing a home, changing careers, or taking on additional financial responsibilities may introduce new considerations. Changes in income, debt, or longer-term priorities can also prompt questions about existing coverage.

What if you are exploring Life Insurance for the first time? You do not need to know which option you want before starting the conversation. We can begin with your household, responsibilities, existing coverage, and questions before explaining available State Farm choices.

For business owners, Life Insurance may also be relevant to questions involving key individuals, ownership interests, business debt, or other financial obligations if an owner or another person important to the operation dies.

Having worked with State Farm since 1998, I appreciate how insurance questions evolve as customers move through different stages of life. My team and I welcome the opportunity to help you better understand your Life Insurance options.

🏢 Downtown Waukesha Perspective: Insurance for Local Business Owners

Running a business often means adapting to change. New equipment, additional employees, expanded services, another location, or different vehicles can introduce insurance considerations that were not part of the original operation.

As President of the Waukesha Downtown Business Association, I work alongside local business owners and community leaders on initiatives that support downtown Waukesha. That involvement gives me an appreciation for the people and responsibilities behind local businesses.

At the Chris Janet State Farm Agency, we help business owners explore Business Insurance based on their operations, property, and changing needs. For companies using eligible work trucks, service vans, or other business vehicles, we can also discuss Commercial Auto Insurance.

Our five-state licensing allows us to assist eligible business owners whose insurance needs extend beyond Wisconsin.

❄️ From Holiday Plans to Wisconsin Winter: Preparing Waukesha Homes and Vehicles

November and December bring freezing temperatures, shorter days, holiday gatherings, and changing road conditions throughout Waukesha County. Before colder weather settles in, it is a practical time to prepare your home and vehicle while considering recent changes to your insurance information.

🏡 What should homeowners check before winter?

Consider disconnecting outdoor hoses, checking exposed pipes, clearing gutters, and arranging appropriate heating-system maintenance. Testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and inspecting weather stripping can also be part of winter preparation.

A remodeled room, finished basement, new roof, or other significant property improvement may provide useful context when reviewing Home Insurance.

Renters and condo owners may also have questions about Renters Insurance or Condo Insurance following a move, renovation, or significant purchase.

🚗 Is your vehicle ready for colder Wisconsin roads?

Snow, ice, reduced visibility, and deer activity can affect daily commutes and holiday travel throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Consider inspecting tires, windshield wipers, lights, batteries, and emergency supplies before winter driving arrives.

A new vehicle, additional household driver, different commute, or change in vehicle use may also introduce new Auto Insurance questions.

🎄 What about holiday gatherings and travel?

Holiday decorations, overnight guests, and travel plans can bring additional household considerations. Inspecting holiday lights, keeping decorations away from heating sources, and maintaining clear walkways can be useful seasonal safety measures.

If you will be away for an extended period, consider maintaining appropriate indoor temperatures and arranging periodic property checks.

From Waukesha and Brookfield to Pewaukee, New Berlin, and surrounding southeastern Wisconsin communities, our team is here to answer questions as you prepare for another Wisconsin winter.

Our agency is based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, serving individuals, families, and business owners throughout Waukesha County and surrounding southeastern Wisconsin communities.
