While on paper, Protection Insurance & Multiservices might be the new kid on the block, but small business owner Alex Galeas is no stranger to the insurance business. With a previous 20 years of in the industry, Galeas decided to start his own insurance company in January 2023, after being a realtor for a few years. He decided to combine his different skills into one business that he hopes to pass on to his kids one day.
“I have three kids, they are 15, 14 and 11. I want to build this business so that maybe in 10 years it will be grown,” said Galeas. “It’s a really good business, and hopefully they can get into it, if they want to.”
Protection Insurance & Multiservices is a one-stop shop for all your insurance needs. Galeas handles home, auto, commercial auto, business, and renters’ insurance, just to name a few. He is also a certified realtor, notary public, and a loan signing agent. During tax season, his wife also helps at the office and provides tax services. All these services are provided in both English and Spanish.
“I’m a very honest person and I like to do things right from the beginning,” emphasized Galeas. “I do everything I can to help you. I want the best for my clients, and I fight for them. I’m there for my clients.”
Protection Insurance just opened their new office in the Entertainment District, moving from Park Row Drive to Magic Mile Street.
“I love Arlington. I live in Arlington, and I’m being serious, I think it’s one of the best cities,” Galeas said. “I want to expand the business here.” Galeas is currently looking to grow and is hoping to hire an agent that works on commission.
