State Farm® Insurance Agent Steve Barney

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Matthew at Steve Barney State Farm. He has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and—something I really appreciate—accessible whenever I’ve had a question or needed assistance. He takes the time to explain my options clearly and has helped me find the coverage I need at a rate that is both affordable and competitive.

It’s refreshing to work with someone who is responsive, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. I highly recommend Matthew and the team at Steve Barney State Farm to anyone looking for great service, dependable assistance, and affordable insurance coverage!"

"Competent, professional and expedient"

"Matthew was very helpful in reviewing my policies with me and providing me with the education on my current policies and additional policy options. I am very appreciative to him for taking the time to call me and review these with me. Thank you Matthew!"

"Moving cross-country made easy! I had the opportunity to speak with both Steve and Matthew. Both were kind, informative, and very helpful. I had some "no-fault state" confusion, but this and any questions I had about my new policy were explained to me in detail by Matthew. I would not hesitate to call either one of them if I had any questions, concerns, or worse, an accident!"

"Matthew made the entire process easy. As a new client, I had a lot of questions, and he took the time to walk through every policy line by line. No rushing, no upselling. Just honest advice about what I actually needed and what I didn't.

If you want an agent who treats you like a person instead of a sale, ask for Matthew. I'm a client for the long haul."

"My experience with Matthew of Steve Barney Agency was wonderful. He is a pleasure to work with and chat with. He is so knowledgeable and very helpful. I'm so happy to have him on my side for my insurance needs. Thank you Matthew, it is
so great getting to know you and I look forward to my future with State Farm and you as my agent.

"Thanks for all you help!"

"I cannot speak highly enough about Matthew. I am moving to the area from NYC and have never been to St. Pete's or Tampa. Not only did he do a great job helping me with renter's insurance, he walked me through what I need to do when I get a car there beyond the insurance piece. And the most important part to know is we were on the phone for almost an hour because he took the time to know me as a person, tell me about St. Pete's, answering my questions about it, and really just making me feel like I won't be alone there! Thank you Matthew!"

"Matthew is a doll and the absolute best! Explained where my money was going and the why for my plan instead of just reading it off the paper— also helping me save where I could! I understand my coverage a lot better. You must work with him; he is amazing."

"I had a call to get to know more about my plan and more options available to me and Matthew did a great job explaining it to me."

"Super helpful, Matthew ran me through everything on my renewal and helped plan out the next year."

"Working with him on home insurance, I found Hai Nguyen to professional, courteous and friendly. Hai knows the business, is thorough and provides the info and answers needed to make informed decisions. I highly recommend Hai Nguyen."

"Mathew at State Farm was wonderful to work with; he was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I highly recommend Mathew at Steve Barney’s State Farm location in St Petersburg!"

"The State Farm team was great. They answered all of my questions, were very helpful, and made the whole process easy. I had a great experience."

"Steve is helpful, transparent, and attentive to what my family needs are. We reached out to him over a year ago, but had to pause due to several life circumstances. A year later we called him back up when we were in a much more stable place and he welcomed us with open arms. He’s patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend connecting with him.

I would also like to add that Matthew is empathetic, kind, and thoughtful with his clients. He took the time to get to know me and capture what my life’s goals are. Thank you so much Matthew, I appreciate you."

"Matthew was a big help in getting me acquainted with the Florida insurance market as I am a new resident to the state. He made a complicated process easy I highly recommend!"

"Matthew was awesome! He suggested ways to save me money on my car insurance and wasn’t pushy. Thanks Matthew"

"I spoke with Matthew and he was so thoughtful and very helpful and answered all my questions (I had a lot of questions). Thank you Matthew 😊"

"very fast service"

"Hai is an awesome person to represent State Farm locally to St Petersburg as well as the company as a whole. He was very respectful, patient, and friendly over the phone, which was especially helpful as I’m newer to insurance and policies. He explained everything in simple terms, made sure my questions were answered, and assured he’s always available if I have any more after the phone call. It’s evident he genuinely cares about his clients by the way he converses with them and now myself included"

"Matthew was extremely detailed and patient during the quote process taking time to find out exactly what my family needs were re: insurance coverage. Matthew's explained areas on my policy I have always carried, which were not necessary and covered in other areas of my policy. Matthew attention to detail saved me a significant amount on my monthly premium and even more than on my previous car insurance with a competitor.

Matthew was very pleasant, personal, professional and did not rush the process of not only providing several quotes but formalizing the purchase of my policy.

I would highly recommend Steve Barney State Farm Insurance. Ask for Matthew."

"Definitely recommend coming here! Mathew is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Appreciate everything!!"

"Super responsive, friendly and professional. Thanks for making things easy!

Added on 7/20/26: I just wanted to add that I called with some questions about Uninsured Motorists coverage and Matthew was extremely helpful. He took the time to answer all of my questions and checked to make sure I had the coverages and services that I needed.
That's why I stick with State Farm and this agency."

"Matthew was an amazing agent to work with. He had great insight into all details and policies. He was a delight!"

"Matthew was thorough in covering every aspect of the different policies State Farm has to offer. I was able to save over my previous carrier which I was loyal to for 6 years!"
