Houston Richards

My name is Houston Richards, and I am the proud owner of Houston Richards State Farm, your dedicated insurance agent KC and lifelong member of the Independence, Missouri community. Born and raised right here in the KC area, I take great pride in serving my neighbors, family, and friends with integrity, compassion, and real-world support.

I began my career with State Farm in 2015 and officially became a State Farm Insurance agent in 2019. Today, as a trusted insurance agent KC, I work every day to help protect what matters most to local families and businesses. Our office offers a full range of coverage options including auto insurance, renters' insurance, homeowners' insurance, life insurance, health insurance, business insurance, commercial insurance, pet insurance, personal articles insurance, and financial services — plus so much more. If you need it protected, as your insurance agent KC, I’m here to help.

My mission is simple: to be different — to do what others know and others won’t. That means going above and beyond to support the people I serve. If there’s a better way to protect you, save you money, or help secure your financial future, you can count on me to tell you. Being your insurance agent KC isn’t just my job — it’s my commitment to our community.

Outside the office, I’m a proud husband to my wife, Ashton, and a dad to our daughter, Arlington. We also have a beloved dog, who has happily become our “office pup” and member of the team. We love this town, and we are grateful to grow our family and our business right here in the Kansas City area.

Whether you’re looking to protect your first car, your family’s future, or your growing business, I’d be honored to become your go-to insurance agent KC.
