Meet Kathleen Karakasis
Hello, my name is Kathleen “Kathy” Karakasis, and I am a licensed AAA Insurance agent with 20 years of experience helping individuals, families, homeowners, renters, landlords, and drivers protect what matters most.
I specialize in auto insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, rental property coverage, life insurance, and AAA roadside membership options. My goal is to make insurance easier to understand, less stressful, and more personalized to your needs.
Whether you are buying a new home, adding a teen driver, reviewing your current policy, protecting a rental property, or looking for life insurance for your family, I am here to help you understand your risks and choose coverage that gives you confidence.
Insurance is not one-size-fits-all. That is why I take the time to review your situation, explain your options clearly, look for possible coverage gaps, discuss available discounts, and help you find protection that fits your lifestyle and budget.
I am licensed to help clients in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. I proudly work with families, individuals, homeowners, renters, rental property owners, and professionals who want dependable insurance guidance backed by the trusted AAA name.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, canoeing, and golfing. I am also proud to be involved in my local community as a Chamber of Commerce member and food pantry volunteer. Serving others is important to me, both personally and professionally.
If you are looking for a licensed AAA Insurance agent who can help with auto, home, renters, rental property, life insurance, or roadside membership options, I would be happy to help. Let’s talk about your coverage and see how AAA Insurance may help protect your home, vehicle, family, and future.

FAQs
How do I know if I have the right amount of insurance coverage?
The right amount of coverage depends on your home, vehicles, family needs, financial responsibilities, and the risks you want to protect against. Kathy can review your current policies, identify coverage gaps, explain your options in plain language, and help you choose protection that fits your budget without leaving you underinsured.
Can bundling my auto and home insurance really save me money?
Yes, many customers may qualify for savings when they bundle auto, home, renters, rental property, or life insurance with the same provider. Kathy can compare available options, explain which discounts may apply, and help you find a policy package that gives you strong protection at a competitive rate.
What deductible should I choose for my auto or home insurance?
Your deductible should be an amount you could comfortably pay out of pocket if you had a claim. A higher deductible may lower your premium, while a lower deductible can reduce your upfront cost after a covered loss, and Kathy can help you weigh the savings against your real-world financial comfort level.
Do I need renters insurance if my landlord already has insurance?
Yes, your landlord’s insurance usually protects the building, not your personal belongings or personal liability. Renters insurance can help cover your furniture, clothing, electronics, and other belongings after covered losses like theft or fire, and Kathy can help you find affordable coverage for your situation.
When should I consider life insurance?
You should consider life insurance if someone depends on your income, if you have a mortgage, children, debts, final expenses, or loved ones you want to protect financially. Kathy can help explain the difference between policy types and guide you toward coverage that supports your family’s long-term security.
