Hello, I am Eric Varner, your local State Farm agent in Newport, Tennessee. It is back to school time for most students in Tennessee. Now is a great time to review your insurance, whether you are making home improvements, preparing for life changes, or simply evaluating your current needs. It is smart to ensure your home insurance keeps pace with today's values. My team and I are ready to help you review and update your home, auto, and life insurance policies so you stay covered year-round. We understand that whether you need home insurance to protect your family’s dwelling or life insurance to secure their financial future, we are here to simplify the process. Our goal is to handle the complexities of insurance so you can focus on what matters most in your life.

As a small business owner myself, I know how crucial it is to protect what truly matters. We can help you customize your business coverage to fit your unique needs. My years of experience ensure you receive the guidance you deserve. The Eric Varner State Farm Insurance office is proud to serve all of Tennessee. We are located right here in Newport, and we frequently assist individuals and families relocating to the Eastern part of Tennessee, including Newport, Greeneville, Morristown, and other surrounding counties. Beyond essential car and home protection, we offer health insurance, and specialized support for those turning 65, prescription drug plans, and advantage plans. We also provide coverage for boats, recreational vehicles, and travel and camping trailers, alongside financial services.

My journey with State Farm began in 2007, after graduating from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I relocated from Chattanooga to Newport, where I proudly began serving this community as a State Farm agent. Our office team brings over 52 years of combined experience in insurance and serving people. I deeply believe in being an active part of my surrounding communities and always make it a priority to give back whenever we can. We are honored to support various local charities, including the Smoky Mountain Humane Society and the Isaiah House.

Whether you are new to Tennessee, relocating to Eastern Tennessee, or simply seeking an insurance agent who will always make sure you are treated like family, please reach out to us today for a personalized quote or to review your current coverage.

Q: What are the insurance requirements on a leased car?

In Newport, you can count on Eric for personalized service.
