I'm Paul Barton, a second-generation State Farm Agent proudly serving individuals, families, and businesses throughout Tualatin, Portland Metro, and communities across Oregon and Washington. Since becoming an agent in 2006, my mission has been to help customers make confident insurance and financial decisions while providing the personal service and long-term relationships they deserve.

Our office brings together more than 120 years of combined insurance experience, giving customers knowledgeable guidance whether they're purchasing their first auto policy, protecting a growing family, insuring a business, or preparing for the future. We help customers with Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Renters Insurance, Condo Insurance, Life Insurance, Business Insurance, Pet Insurance, Personal Articles Insurance, and much more, taking the time to explain coverage options so they can choose what fits their needs and goals.

We also specialize in helping people relocating to Oregon and Washington. As a dual-licensed agency serving both states, we make insurance transfers and new policies as seamless as possible, helping customers settle into their new communities with confidence.

Throughout my career, I have been honored to earn recognition including Ambassador Travel Qualifier, Legion of Honor Agent, and Crystal Honor—awards that reflect my commitment to serving customers with professionalism and care.

Outside the office, you'll often find me coaching wrestling at a local junior high school. My background as a scholarship athlete taught me the value of preparation, accountability, and teamwork—qualities I strive to bring to every customer interaction. As an Oregon native, I also enjoy fishing, golfing, and spending time outdoors with my wife, our three children, and our energetic family dog.

Whether you're looking for insurance for your home, vehicle, family, or business, or you're moving to Oregon or Washington, my team and I are committed to making the process simple, informative, and centered around what matters most to you. We look forward to helping you protect what you've worked hard to build.
