State Farm – Can i switch agents withing the company?
I know everybody has issues with insurance companies, but State Farm has been good to me for several years. Recently my agent retired, and I was assigned a new agent. To say the least, I find the new agent’s employees to be incompetent, and they are constantly harassing me to buy more insurance. My parents have their State Farm insurance through a family friend, and they love this agent and his employees. They never try to call them to sell them anything, and they are always trying to find ways to save them money. Can I switch agents within the State Farm company? And if so, will my policies be forwarded to the new agent or will I have to cancel to my existing policies, wait for a refund, pay for new policies upfront, etc? Thanks everyone for you help!!
Absolutely! You can do it in a couple of ways. First, you can call your current agent’s office & they can transfer your policies to the other agent. Or, if you don’t trust them to get it done for you, you can also check with the agent you to whom want to transfer to find out the number for "Agent Selection" (At least that’s what we call it in GA). They can make the transfer for you without having to contact the other agent’s office.
Transferring won’t change your policies at all. They will just disappear from the old agent’s system and show up on the new agent’s computer. You will get a notice from SF when the transfer is complete.

you should be able to simply do an agent of record change in which your policy will remain the same.

Absolutely! Go to or call the agent you would like to service your business and ask them to have your policies transferred to them. Your existing agent may require your permission, but it’s not a problem.
