Welcome to the Jim Paterson State Farm Agency website, where we have been proudly serving the people of Long Island since 1965. Our agency was founded by Jim Paterson himself, who started his journey in the basement of his mother's home in Franklin Square before opening a small office in Mineola a year later. Over the years, we have grown into a team of five dedicated individuals who prioritize providing personal service to our valued customers. Many of our customers have had a 50-year relationship with us, a testament to our commitment to delivering the personal touch even in this era of intense price competition within the insurance industry.

Jim Paterson's passion for sports has always been a significant part of his life. He was a radio and TV sportscaster in the 70s and 80s and served as the Public Address announcer for the Islanders during their championship years. He also announced for the Jets, Mets, and the Cosmos during the "Pele" years. Additionally, Jim's love for thoroughbred racing led him to join forces with West Point Thoroughbreds, competing in prestigious races such as the Breeder's Cup and the Queens Plate. Despite these interests, his primary focus has always been serving the insurance needs of his policyholders in the NYC-Long Island area.

At the Jim Paterson State Farm Agency, we offer a range of insurance options to protect what matters most to you. We offer Free Auto, Homeowners, Life, Renters, Condo, and Personal Liability Umbrella Insurance. We also provide Free quotes for Personal Article Insurance Policies, ensuring that your valuable jewelry is adequately covered.

We take great pride in delivering exceptional customer experiences. One of our customers had this to say about their interaction with our office: "I had a great experience. John was so helpful, responsive, and thoroughly knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all our questions. Highly recommend."
