Joe Jilek

The knowledge that comes with 9 years of insurance experience, in concert with a personal touch, forms the perfect business relationship with you; the customer.

Whether you hail from Berrien, Cass the surrounding counties in Michigan or St. Joe, LaPorte and others in Indiana, my goal is to supply great vehicle, home, renters, life, and boat owners insurance; specifying it to your needs.

Afterward, is where the relationship begins. I'll provide prompt, courteous service, answer any questions and suggest changes to your policies. When your needs change, I'll make adjustments. As a proud member of Jilek Insurance Agency, I care.

Hi, Kim here; Kimberly if I’m in trouble. I was born and raised in New Buffalo, a preacher’s kid and church pianist. I married a boy from Minnesota and we raised our family in SW Michigan. My family has been insured by Joe Jilek’s office for approximately 30 years and I’ve been working for and with Joe since 2013.  Being on the service side of our office, I take my role very seriously. Going above and beyond to provide accurate and quality service to our policy holders is my main goal, with no question or concern being too small or silly. This year I hope to add my life license in addition to my existing producer license for Michigan and Indiana. So if you are looking for quality insurance and great service in Berrien, Cass and other counties in Michigan, give us a call. We also do business in St Joseph, LaPorte and many more Indiana counties. Ask for Kim, I’m here to give you remarkable service.

I was born and raised in Warren, Ohio and moved to Buchanan in 2005. My hobbies are reading, bicycling spending time with my 2 grandchildren and rooting for the Steelers. My role at Jilek Insurance Agency for the last 12 years is the receptionist and every day I see my co-workers provide top notch customer service to our policy holders. Working here, being part of a great team and helping customers makes me smile.         ~

I’ve been on the insurance train since 1969, most of it in the claims discipline.  I started in Chicago with several smaller companies; then transferred to a larger, Merrillville, Indiana company.  The next stop was professionally bartending for one year and then I stopped at State Farm Claims in Michigan City, Indiana as a superintendent secretary.  Stayed at the State Farm station for 18 years and then traveled onto AAA of Michigan for 5 years.  Continuing on, I visited Indiana Insurance and finally ended up at Nationwide for 15 years.   Retirement looked pretty good so I thought that would be the last stop but…..no way…..since I don’t paint, wallpaper or remodel, I asked Mr. Jilek if he needed help and he kindly took me on in 2014 and it was the greatest move ever!  I am an old person having seen a real live Beatle concert in 1965; love gardening, reading, raising chickens and making my family crazy.  This is the greatest office ever and the greatest team anyone can find.  Check us out and you won’t be disappointed. ~
