Tammy Dobrotin

I’ve spent more than 26 years as a State Farm agent, since first joining the company in 1985. I opened my current agency in 2014, and I’m proud to serve the residents of beautiful Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas—including Goleta, Lompoc, Buellton, Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria. My agency handles everything from homeowners insurance and small business owners insurance to personal and commercial auto insurance, life insurance and more—including coverage for motorcycles and RVs. We also offer financial services.

I’ve spent my entire career with State Farm, including eight years working with the corporate office in claims and company leadership. And I’m proud to continue what has become a family tradition—I’m a third-generation State Farm agent. I grew up with the company and have learned every side of the business over the course of my career, and my licensed, dedicated team treats every one of our customers with care. I believe in empowering customers with the knowledge and confidence to choose the coverage that most suits their needs, and I consider myself a champion for them. You’re more than just a number with us. We understand that our role is to help you—not push anything—and we promise that your needs will always be our top motivation. Hablamos español.

I’m a life-time resident of California, so I know the area extremely well. I earned my bachelor’s degree from San Diego State University, and continued my education for the benefit of my insurance customers—eventually becoming a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). This means I have advanced education in life insurance, property planning, and business planning—and I’m always happy to share my knowledge with customers. I have two grown daughters with successful careers of their own, and in my free time I love going to the beach, staying fit, going to baseball games, and hiking in the mountains with my fiancée Mario and our golden retriever, Bella.

I’m community oriented, and I’m always looking for ways to make a difference. We do an annual Toys For Tots campaign in December and happily support our local high schools sports teams. I’m a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, and I was a co-founder of the Goleta Lemon Festival. I’m the president-elect of the Rotary Club of Goleta, and I was recently honored as the Rotarian of the Year. In 1993, I received the great and humbling honor of being named the Goleta Woman of the Year.
