Carmen Ritz

I became a State Farm agent in 2009, after joining the company in 2000 and learning the business from the ground up. Now I’m proud to serve the residents of Raleigh and the surrounding areas of Wake County—including Cary, Apex, Garner, Fuquay Varina, Holly Springs and Knightdale— and I recently opened a new office in Durham to serve even more customers. We handle homeowners and renters insurance, auto insurance, life insurance and more—including financial services.

It was my dream to open my agency in downtown Raleigh—I love this area and the people here, and I never want to work anywhere else. We’re known for a very personal, high level of customer service. No one is just a number or a sale to us—we care about our customers, and we have a passion for helping people manage everyday risks, plan for the future, and protect the things that matter most. We listen and learn about your unique needs, and we work with you to come up with a coverage plan that fits you just right. Our customers are like family to us—we form relationships with them that last for years, and we appreciate every one of them.

As for me, I’m from Tennessee originally, and went to college in Florida. I moved to Raleigh when the opportunity came to work with State Farm. I’m married and have a dog, Teddy, who comes to work with me most days, and I enjoy working out, exploring different restaurants and cuisines, wine tasting, and spending time with friends when I have the chance. I also enjoy working to make a positive impact in the community. I’ve supported the SPCA, Meals on Wheels, Dress for Success, and the Salvation Army—and these days, I’m helping the Frankie Lemmon Foundation and Saving Grace, a local dog rescue. I love the feeling that I’m making a difference. I enjoy meeting new people and helping transplants to NC and the Raleigh area get settled here. And my team is always ready to help you find the right home, renters, auto, life, or business insurance for your needs. We would love to work with you!
