Chris Grettum

Insurance is important. Believe me, I know first-hand. In 2007, my family and I lost our home and everything we owned in a devastating wildfire. State Farm was there to help us get back on our feet. Now, I’m proud to help customers with their insurance coverage as a local State Farm agent here in Chico, CA. I work with people from around Northern California, including Durham, Orland, Oroville, Paradise, Forest Ranch, Corning and Hamilton City.

I’m a second-generation State Farm employee—my dad believed wholeheartedly in this company’s good neighbor mission, and I’m honored to continue that tradition. I opened my agency in 2014 to help people understand their unique needs and find the right policies to cover them. My goal as your agent is to make sure there are no surprises! My friendly, dedicated team is always here to answer questions and offer support throughout the process.

My Northern California roots are deep—I grew up in the Bay Area, graduated from Chico State, and spent almost a decade in the technology industry before shifting gears to State Farm. I’m also a loving husband and father of two, and you can usually find me running back and forth from practices and games, or out on a family hike in Bidwell Park.

Whether you’re relocating to the area or are a lifelong resident, let’s work together on a coverage plan that fits your life. My office can help with auto insurance, motorhome insurance, ATV/UTV insurance, motorcycle insurance, health insurance, life insurance and much more.
