State Farm® Insurance Agent Steve Barney

"I had a great experience shopping my auto and renters insurance with Matthew at State farm today. Not only did I get better coverage, I got a better price. Highly recommended!"

"I just moved to St Petersburg Florida from Denver, Colorado and needed to change my insurance which is always a headache! Matthew at the Steve Barney office was nothing short than amazing, very personable and saved me hundreds of dollars on my policy while providing great coverage. I recommend calling them for all your insurance needs!"

"He removed the implant and did the bone graft again and I had to wait another 4 months and when I went back he took an xray and he said he had to do another bone graft. After he added another bone graft I had to wait another 4 months. When I went up front and asked a simple question from the staff of why he didn’t put enough bone the first time and was told by one of the nurses that 25% of the time this happens, The next time I went in, I was chewed out by the office manager and she told me that I am ungrateful and he is doing this work for free and I should find another surgeon and I have a cheap dentist and it’s my body that is messed up and not the dentist’s work. On 11/23/2025 I received a package from 5280 oral surgery with all of my records and he stated that the office dropped me as a patient. On 12/16 I had an appointment for an xray of the bone graft and no one called me to say that my appointment was cancelled. When I showed up on time, he made me wait an hour and all the patients were gone and he said I am not his patient anymore and he will not do anything for me and when I asked for my back he said no and my dentist did not use the correct material and that’s why the bone was failing which make no sense and it’s not true after talking to multiple surgeons. I did find a much better surgeon who guarantees his work. If your dentist refers you to this office, don’t go and save yourself from a headache and dealing with unprofessional staff.
Overall, I left 5280 oral surgery feeling like just another number rather than a patient whose teeth mattered. Stay away from this office and they don’t have a professional office staff."

"Karen Hagenson is a terrific State Farm Representative. She helped get my son and his new wife auto insurance right in the middle of the two hurricanes in 2024 when they first moved to St Petersburg. Even in the middle of the catastrophic circumstances in that area, she kept calm and remained very professional. She also kept in touch with us and was able to get them insured. Excellent service was thoroughly provided. I’d highly, highly recommend her and State Farm who my husband and I have had for 40 years!!!

"Matthew was an ideal Insurance Representative. He was both knowledgeable and courteous when answering my questions."

"Matthew"

"I had an excellent experience working with Matthew at State Farm. He helped me switch over from USAA and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Matthew took care of setting up my auto insurance, renter’s insurance, and a new supplemental hospital policy, and he explained everything clearly and in full detail so I always knew exactly what I was getting and why.

What really stood out was how personable and accommodating he was. Our conversations never felt rushed or scripted, he took the time to talk with me on a personal level, answer every question thoroughly, and make sure I felt confident in my coverage decisions. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to work with.

Matthew is a true asset to State Farm, and it was a pleasure doing business with him. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who actually cares and goes the extra mile."

"Matthew with State Farm has been a tremendous amount of help! He saved me a bunch of money and got me the coverage I truly wanted for my vehicles and rental insurance!"

"Stephanie went above and beyond to ensure our auto, renters, and life insurance policy was expedited. Her diligence and professionalism surpassed all expectations. If the option for more than 5-stars were available we'd apply the highest possible rating for her."

"Matthew was a pleasure. He was very informative and has a vast knowledge of available insurance products or services. And he saved me money. I will recommend State Farm to my family and friends."

"After having a disastrous experience for 2 years with an agent in NC, I cannot put into words how AMAZING Steve and his team has been with my move back to FL. I was immediately met with answers to my questions and transparency about my policy. Steve offered much knowledge and kindness throughout this process and followed up with me about any little hiccups."

"Matthew was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the auto and renter policy coverages. His attitude and demeanor was friendly and professional. Thanks for the experience and savings from Progressive!"

"Tried working with this branch including Steve himself.

They screwed up both my auto and home policies several times. They didn’t process my home policy paperwork which ended up costing me about $800 more per year. Steve said “we’ll make it right” in which he did nothing. Tried canceling my policy and they can’t even find it.

They also didn’t process the paperwork correctly for my auto which cost me $322 which I admittedly should have monitored my bill closer. I had called several times in which I was told everything should be fixed.

Nevertheless I wouldn’t recommend this branch at all. They ended up costing me money annoyance and time in the long run. I don’t know how they are highly rated on google.

My response to your reply:

Homeowners: You’re wrong. Your team never sent the documentation to my lender. Once I lost coverage I had to get involved multiple times between you two. Your team dropped the ball

Auto: I did ask about these forms. I did reach out several times. I was told it was taken care of. But you’re right I recently canceled after getting fed up with trying to follow up on your team’s job."

"I work with many different insurance agents in my line of work, and Tony stands out from the rest. I see firsthand how hard he fights for his clients and the level of detail he puts into every policy. He is professional, diligent, and clearly cares about the people he represents. Highly recommended!"
