Summer is almost over and across Virginia, backpacks are coming out, college students are packing up, and families are getting ready for a new school year. Before we know it, cooler mornings, Friday night football, changing leaves, and busy fall schedules will be here.

At Tracey Portillo State Farm, we know a new season often brings changes—and those changes can affect your insurance needs. Whether you have a new driver heading to school, a student leaving for college, a recent move, a new vehicle, or simply haven't reviewed your coverage in a while, this is a great time to make sure you're prepared for what's ahead.

Hi, I'm Tracey Portillo—raised right here in Virginia, a proud Monacan High School Chief and University of Richmond Spider. I'm grateful to serve the community I call home as your hometown Good Neighbor.

Since opening my agency in 2018, my mission has remained simple: help people understand their insurance and make confident decisions about protecting what matters most. Insurance shouldn't feel overwhelming. Our team takes the time to learn about you, explain your options clearly, and help you build coverage around your life—not the other way around.

Back-to-school season is also a great time for an insurance checkup. Have a teen or young adult driver? A student taking a car to college—or leaving one at home? A college student moving into an apartment? Have you recently purchased a home, changed jobs, gotten married, welcomed a new family member, or made other changes this year? These are all good reasons to review your Auto, Home, Renters, Life, and Personal Liability coverage.

We proudly serve individuals, families, and businesses throughout Virginia, including Henrico, Midlothian, Chesterfield, Ashland, Goochland, Tuckahoe, and surrounding communities. Our multilingual team, fluent in English and Spanish, is passionate about making insurance accessible, supportive, and easy to understand. We offer Auto, Home, Renters, Condo, Life, Motorcycle, Pet, Personal Liability, and Business Insurance.

Outside the office, I cherish time with my husband of over 25 years, our three kids, and our three sweet dogs. Community service is also a cornerstone of who we are. Throughout 2026, our agency continues to support organizations including Housing Families First, Treats for Troops, and Feed More, each making a meaningful difference for families, service members, and neighbors in our community.

At Tracey Portillo State Farm, we believe in showing up for people with compassion, transparency, and heart. As summer winds down and a new school year begins, it's a great time to make sure your insurance is keeping up with your life.

Give us a call, stop by, or connect with our team for an insurance review. Let's make sure you're ready for the school year, the fall season, and whatever comes next.

Wishing all of our students, parents, teachers, and school staff a safe and successful school year!
