State Farm® Insurance Agent Peyton Pettus

"My family has relied on State Farm for decades. Specifically, we'd been working with the Mike Dekle office in Athens, GA. When Mr. Dekle passed, some of those accounts were transferred to other agents and mine were among them. I was apprehensive about this change as I had become quite accustomed to working with this particular agency. Still, life goes on and changes are inevitable. My accounts were assigned to the Peyton Pettus office and in particular, Michael "Mike" Barnes. A representative from the office called to help me set up a meeting with Mike to review my policies. The Pettus agency has offices in Bogart and Athens and I chose the closer Athens office, which is conveniently located on Milledge Ave. Upon arriving at the Athens office, I found myself pleased with the informal & modern design. I was immediately greeted and offered something to drink while I awaited my appointment. Michael met me promptly at the designated time. He was dressed casual-professional, and looked to be in his early 30's. Very warm and friendly. I immediately felt at ease. We sat down in his office and got to know each other a bit before getting down to business. While my accounts were mostly in order, the meeting provided both of us with the opportunity to get to know one another and while I tend to prefer communication via email, having a face behind the text cannot be underestimated. I've been with the Peyton Pettus State Farm agency for a little over a year now and worked directly with Mike Barnes for the entirety of that time. Mike is affable, engaging, and very knowledgeable of the business of insurance. At no time have I felt like a number to him and in fact, Mike remembers many personal details about my family that the folks at my previous office never did. I could not offer a higher recommendation if I were being paid to give it. If you are in the market for a new policy or thinking about switching agents, you owe it to yourself to give the Peyton Pettus offices a shot and if you're really lucky, you might even get to work with Mike Barnes!"

"Preston is incredible, he made sure to follow up on questions and was very easily accessible both via email and text. In an industry where numbers seem very confusing, Preston does an incredible job at simplifying and explaining, at the end of the day he has no special interest in mind and won't try and sell you on an unnecessary coverage. 10/10 experience, he is the man!"

"Was helped out by Alex Bavosa with some auto insurance. He was incredibly helpful and worked with me to look at multiple different quotes until we found one I was happy with. He made sure to get me on the phone and walk me through all of the important information, while also being friendly and helping me feel comfortable with the insurance buying process. Can’t recommend him enough! Looking forward to working with him in the future."

"Preston Brown was great to work with. He was very diligent and patient in helping us get set up with State Farm insurance as well as helping us to get low rates. He made sure to follow up with us exactly when he said he would follow up. He definitely went beyond. Glad to to have been able to work with Preston."

"I called State Farm and I don't even think the phone rang once and would you believe it was "Jake from State Farm" 🤣 no really I thought I was being spoofed. Because his voice was so calm and the call answered so quickly and i heard "hello this is Jacob with State Farm how many I help you[or be of service...or some super polite thing they say lol] " I was really tickled. Once I got that awkward laugh out Jacob Denton proceeded to help me and get me the absolute best rate I'd been quoted after checking 4 other places. He gave validity to some of the other concerns I was having and the call was over in maybe 20 mins idk but it was fast and I am pleased. He followed up with a email and im not wondering any next step and I feel like me and my family is now covered."

"Alexander G. Bavosa is an awesome person. He talked with me about all the services that are offered and I ended up bundling my car and life insurance! Which is awesome for me because I have been looking for life insurance. He taught me a lot about car and life insurance that I never knew. You can tell that he is passionate about what he does just by the way he talks and his attitude just makes it even better. Now I am confident about my choice I made with my car and life insurance."

"Preston Brown is absolutely fantastic. He is the epitome of professionalism and costumer service. This was my first time shopping for renters insurance and car insurance and he took the time to explain to me in detail what each plan covered and worked with me to find the ideal plan based on price and quality. This is one of the best costumer service experiences I have had with any company. Preston Brown isn’t like a good neighbor, he is like the best neighbor."
