I'm EJ Silvers, a State Farm Insurance Agent and owner of Silvers Insurance Agency in Renton, Washington. I believe in being a good neighbor, and that belief started long before I opened my own agency.
I grew up in Yakima, Washington, the son of an amazing State Farm Agent, and I've been inspired by the way my father helped people in our local community. That experience shaped me early—I've always had a passion for serving others, especially young people, and I knew I wanted to do the same.
I've lived in the Seattle area since moving here to attend the University of Washington. Before becoming an agent, I was a team member for another State Farm Agent, where I completed my training and professional development.
What I love most about being an agent is meeting new customers and learning their needs—not just looking at ways to save money on insurance, but reviewing the full picture. I help identify coverage gaps and share practical options for auto, home, life, and disability insurance (and more).
Helping Washington Homeowners Protect What Matters Most
One of my favorite parts of being a State Farm Agent is helping new and existing homeowners understand their insurance options. Whether you're buying your first home, preparing for an upcoming closing, reviewing your current homeowners insurance, or considering switching insurance companies, my team and I are here to help.
From Renton and Kent to Maple Valley, Covington, Auburn, Black Diamond, and the greater Seattle area, we help homeowners review their coverage, understand potential gaps, and explore options that fit their needs. I believe homeowners insurance should be about more than finding a competitive price—it's about understanding how your home is protected and having a local team you can turn to with questions.
Family is everything to me. I'm a loving husband to Candice and a proud dad to three sons. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me cheering for the Seahawks, riding my road bike, traveling, trying great food, and spending time with my family. I also support the community through events and volunteering, including Juneteenth celebrations and Dr. Seuss Reading Nights.
My goal is simple: be someone you can turn to with questions—and I'll do everything I can to help or point you in the right direction. My office is bilingual in English and Spanish, and I'm always working on improving my Spanish-speaking skills.
