The Jim Paterson State Farm Agency was established in 1965.

Jim Paterson began the Agency on March 1, 1965 in the basement of his mother's home in Franklin Square and opened a small office a year later in Mineola. Four years ago, we moved to much larger quarters with extensive parking. During our 58 years serving the people of Long Island, we have grown to a 5 full-time team with emphasis on personal service to our customers, many of whom have been with us 40-50 years as well. In this age of extreme price competition throughout the industry, our agency still believes in "the personal touch" !

Jim attended Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park and Hofstra University, where he played varsity soccer. Sports has been a big part of his life. He has been a radio and TV sportscaster in the 70's and 80's. He was the Public Address announcer for the Islanders through their championship years, and also announcer for the Jets, Mets and the Cosmos during the "Pele" years. His interest in thoroughbred racing led him to join with West Point Thoroughbreds and horses that competed in the Breeder's Cup at Santa Anita and the Queens Plate(Canada's version of the Kentucky Derby) in Toronto as well as all major racetracks in America. But all those interests were secondary to serving the various insurance needs of his policy holders throughout the NYC-Long Island area, which he continues to do daily.

We offer Free Auto, Homeowners, Life, Renters, Condo and Personal Liability Umbrella Insurance. Did you now that most Homeowners Insurance policies have limited coverage for Jewelry, that is why we offer Free quotes on Personal Article Insurance Policies. Come in and see how we can protect your fine jewelry.

We pride ourselves on providing a great customer experience, here is what one of our customers said about their experience with my office:

"I walked into the State Farm office in Mineola to sign up for home and auto insurance policies. Like a good neighbor they were there to take me through the whole process. As I'm not that familiar with a lot of the insurance coverage jargon, I had to frequently bombard them with a lot of questions. Some of my questions were very basic, but they were professionally answered with understandable manner. At times I thought he might give up on me and refer me to "The Good Hands People", but Brad don't do THAT! He patiently answered all my questions. He explained each policy in detail and the various ways in which I can qualify for a series of discounts that accumulated into quite a savings for me. They are such good communicators that if they were a golf coach, I'd sign up for lessons from them.

Hi, I’m Lisa Machado: I have made my home in Mineola for the past 45 years, so it was only natural that I found a “second home” working for the Jim Paterson Agency (State Farm). I have been here for more than 20 years and am currently licensed in Personal and Commercial Lines of Insurance as well as Life and Health Insurance. I am also a Nassau County Notary Public. I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish and that has served me well in helping the Portuguese and Hispanic members of my community!
