"Great policy review with Mathew-S who is very kind and answered all my questions.
Great call."
We responded:
"Thanks for leaving us a review Don. Matthew really enjoyed talking with you. We are trying to be more proactive and sit down more often with current customers to simply answer any potential questions and make sure their policy is still right for them. I'm happy we were able to do that with you!"

We responded:
"I really appreciate your kind words Ed! We pride ourselves on being there for our customers, for the good times and the bad! Look forward to meeting you one day soon!"

"I contacted Matthew with State Farm concerning car insurance for my husband, Dan, my daughter, Bryanna, and myself, and he was extremely helpful, very honest and a true pleasure to work with. It was so refreshing to work with someone who was truly looking out for my best interest and was not trying to upsell me to encourage me to purchase more than I needed. Not very often do we work with someone like that. If you’re considering changing your policies, whether it a car home or positive life insurance I would highly recommend you contact Matthew with State Farm insurance on Central Avenue because he will do you very well. Thank you, Davis."
We responded:
"Thank you so much, Delane, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're incredible grateful for the opportunity to help you, Dan and your family with your insurance needs.

Matthew truly cares about making sure our customers feel informed, comfortable and protected - never pressured - so your kind words mean a lot to all of us. We appreciate your trust in us and are here for anything you may need! Thank you again for the recommendation and welcome to our Agency family!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!"

"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!"
We responded:
"Welcome to St Pete Jen! It was a pleasure talking with you! We really appreciate your kind words and are so happy Matthew cleared up any potential confusion. Look forward to meeting you in person :)"

"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."
We responded:
"I absolutely love this Alison! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. It makes me happy knowing you were treated exactly as you deserve to be, like a person! We want all of our customers to know we have their back and put their needs first! Thank you for your recommendation!"

"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."
We responded:
"This is fantastic! Thank you so much for the amazing review Carlye! He is the best at making sure our customers understand what their policy actually does for them. Thank you for leaving him such a nice review."

"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."
We responded:
"Aw Vikki it has been so lovely talking with you the last year or so. We pride ourselves on being there for our customers during their toughest times. I'm happy you guys are doing great and we reconnected :) your recommendation is not taken lightly!"
