As the kids head back to school and routines get back on track, it's the perfect time to review your insurance policies. Take a moment to check in with us and ensure your coverage is up to date, or get a quote. Don't forget about your life insurance needs! My team and I wholeheartedly believe in the value that life insurance offers. Many people don't think about buying life insurance until they have children. But far too many people — having a child or not — put off the purchase entirely. Many consumers overestimate the cost of having and paying for life insurance. Contact me to discuss which options may be right for you and your family.
A little bit about me.... I'm Craig Dewhurst, your Good Neighbor and local State Farm Agent for the past twenty-four years! I grew up in the Jacksonville area, am a current resident of World Golf Village in Saint Augustine, and love to give back to my community. I currently serve as a business partner for several St. Johns County schools and local youth sports, and serve on the St. Johns County Traffic Safety Team. I am also a proud Alumni of Florida State University and serve on the Seminole Boosters National Board.
Before becoming a State Farm Insurance agent, I worked for State Farm in Catastrophe Operations, where I saw firsthand State Farm’s desire and ability to help people when they needed it the most. Because of State Farm’s significant financial strength, we can be confident they will continue to provide in times of need. I knew this was the company I wanted to work with and whose services I wanted to provide to my customers and community. I opened my agency doors on July 1, 2000 and have been helping customers ever since. I am thrilled to have the privilege of owning a business in my community!
I have a dedicated team of licensed insurance representatives who are committed to providing our customers with personalized service and care. With their knowledge of the vast number of insurance options State Farm has to fit your unique needs, they are eager to work with you to understand your goals and identify ways to help protect them. And they are local and live in the same communities you do: St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Saint Johns, Elkton, and Green Cove Springs.
Our team takes great pride in helping you understand your insurance and ensure you are getting the appropriate, personalized coverage to fit your needs. And you can be confident we know what we are talking about - my team and I have 150 years of combined insurance experience!
