A Little About Me — Meet Steve Hare

I was born and raised in Windham, Maine, and fell in love with the Greater Manchester area about eight years ago. Today, my family and I are proud to call Candia, New Hampshire, home.

I'm married to the most amazing woman, fellow State Farm agent, and absolute love of my life, Alysia Hare. Together, we're raising two daughters, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have people looking out for the things that matter most to your family.

That family-first mentality carries over into our office. We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel comfortable, welcome, and able to ask questions. We even have a TV set up to keep the little ones entertained while we talk insurance!

One thing you'll quickly learn about me is that I genuinely enjoy explaining how insurance works. I believe you should understand what you're paying for, why certain coverages matter, and what your options are.

You'll never get a high-pressure pitch from me. Just honest conversations, clear explanations, and maybe a little humor along the way.

And yes... by the time we're finished, you'll have enough insurance knowledge to be dangerous. 😉

🍁 October Insurance Update — Fall Into Better Coverage!

Fall is officially here in New Hampshire! The leaves are changing, temperatures are dropping, and colder weather is right around the corner.

October is a great time to revisit your home, auto, and life insurance. Whether you've recently purchased a vehicle, made improvements to your home, welcomed a new family member, or simply haven't reviewed your policies in a while, a quick conversation can help you determine whether your coverage still fits your needs.

As we prepare for colder weather, holiday gatherings, and the busy months ahead, it's worth taking a few minutes to make sure you understand what your policies cover and where changes might make sense.

Make October the month you check insurance off your to-do list!

Call, text, or email our office to schedule a policy review. We'll help you explore available options, identify potential coverage gaps, and review opportunities for savings.

🍂 A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why should I choose a local insurance agent instead of buying insurance online?

A: Buying insurance online can be convenient, but understanding what you're purchasing is just as important. At Steve Hare State Farm, we take the time to explain your coverage options, answer questions, and help you make informed decisions.

Having a local agent means having real people you can call, text, or visit when you need assistance. Whether you're purchasing a new policy, making changes, or trying to understand your coverage, our team is here to help.

Q: What should I look for when choosing an insurance agent?

A: Choosing the right insurance agent is about more than finding the lowest price. Look for someone who takes the time to understand your needs, explains coverage in a way that makes sense, and provides service long after the policy is purchased.

At Steve Hare State Farm, our team brings more than 50 years of combined insurance experience to the conversation. We focus on personal service, straightforward explanations, and helping customers make informed decisions without unnecessary pressure.

Real people. Real conversations. Insurance made simple.

Q: Can I switch insurance companies before my current policy expires?

A: Yes! In many situations, you can switch insurance companies before your current policy expires.

Our team can review your existing coverage, explore available State Farm options, and help coordinate effective dates to avoid a gap in coverage.

Q: Can you review my current insurance before I decide to switch?

A: Absolutely! You don't need to commit to switching insurance companies just to have a conversation.

Bring us your current insurance declarations pages, and we'll help you understand your coverage limits, deductibles, and available options.

Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, whether you're ready to make a change or simply exploring what's available.

Q: Do you serve Manchester and surrounding towns even though your office is in Candia?

A: We sure do!

Our State Farm office is located at 143 Raymond Road, Unit 9, Candia, NH, conveniently accessible from Route 101, Exit 3.

We proudly serve customers throughout Manchester, Bedford, Hooksett, Auburn, Derry, Londonderry, Raymond, Deerfield, Chester, and communities across New Hampshire and Maine.

And you don't need to visit our office to work with us! We're happy to assist by phone, text, email, or in person.

Q: What makes Steve Hare State Farm different from other insurance agencies?

A: We speak insurance so you don't have to!

Insurance can be confusing, but understanding it shouldn't require a dictionary.

Our team brings more than 50 years of combined insurance experience and believes in taking a consultative approach to every conversation.

Rather than simply telling you what coverage to purchase, we explain the why behind our recommendations, answer your questions, and help you understand your options.

No confusing jargon. No unnecessary pressure. Just real conversations with people who enjoy helping others understand insurance.

Q: How do I know if I have enough auto insurance coverage in New Hampshire?

A: The right amount of auto insurance depends on your vehicles, financial circumstances, and personal needs.

New Hampshire has specific financial responsibility requirements, but minimum liability limits may not provide enough coverage for every situation.

Our team can review your liability limits, deductibles, uninsured motorist coverage, and other available options to help you better understand your coverage and make informed decisions.

Q: Is the cheapest car insurance always the goal?

A: Not necessarily!

Price is important, but so is understanding what you're getting for your money.

Two auto insurance quotes might have similar costs while offering very different liability limits, deductibles, or optional coverages.

We help you compare more than just the monthly payment so you can understand the differences and choose coverage that fits your needs and budget.

Q: How often should I review my home and auto insurance?

A: Reviewing your insurance at least once a year is a good starting point.

However, certain life changes may mean it's time for a conversation sooner. Buying a vehicle, renovating your home, adding a driver, getting married, or starting a business can all affect your insurance needs.

Our team can help you review your policies and explore whether updates make sense as your circumstances change.

Q: Can I get a State Farm insurance quote without visiting your office?

A: Absolutely! You can call, text, or email Steve Hare State Farm to explore your insurance options, or start a quote online.

Our team can assist customers throughout New Hampshire and Maine without requiring an in-person appointment.

Of course, if you prefer a face-to-face conversation, we'd love to welcome you to our Candia office!

Q: Do I need life insurance if I already have coverage through work?

A: Employer-provided life insurance can be a valuable benefit, but it may not fully address your family's financial needs.

Additionally, coverage through your employer may change or end if you leave your job.

We can help you review your existing life insurance, discuss your goals, and explore available individual coverage options based on your circumstances and budget.

Q: What kind of service can I expect after purchasing insurance from your office?

A: Our relationship doesn't end when your policy begins! Whether you have billing questions, need to update your coverage, want to review your policies, or need guidance navigating the claims process, our local team is here to help.

We believe customer service means being accessible, taking the time to answer questions, and helping you understand your options throughout the life of your policy.

Q: Can you help with insurance for a small business in Southern New Hampshire?

A: Yes! Steve Hare State Farm helps eligible small business owners explore available insurance options, including business property, liability, and other coverages.

Whether you're opening a new business or reviewing an existing policy, we'll take the time to understand your operation, discuss potential exposures, and explain available options.

Coverage availability and eligibility vary by business and product.

Q: Does Steve Hare State Farm offer insurance in both New Hampshire and Maine?

A: Absolutely! Maine will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up in Windham, Maine, and my family still has strong connections there.

Although our office is located in Candia, New Hampshire, we're proud to help customers throughout both New Hampshire and Maine.

Whether you're in Greater Manchester, Southern New Hampshire, or across the border in Maine, our team can help you explore available State Farm auto, home, renters, life, and other insurance options.
