Welcome to Michael Strawhorn State Farm – Your Trusted Local Insurance Agency in Duncan, SC!

💚 Protecting what matters most starts with the right conversations. Life insurance can play an important role in helping families prepare for the unexpected and support loved ones through life’s changes. Whether you’re starting a family, purchasing a home, or thinking ahead about long‐term security, I’m here to help you understand your options and choose coverage that fits your life.

I’m Michael Strawhorn, a proud native of South Carolina and a graduate of Clemson University with a background in Services Marketing. Before opening my own agency, I spent seven years working alongside another State Farm agent in the Upstate, gaining hands‐on experience and seeing firsthand the impact strong insurance support can have on individuals, families, and the community. My journey into the insurance industry began in 2016, inspired by my brother’s success as a State Farm agent.

Outside the office, my life centers around family. My wife, Valerie, and I met in a dog park in Greenville, SC in 2010 and have since built a busy, joyful life with our sons, Patrick and Everett, and our two dogs. We enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring the mountains throughout South Carolina, which keeps us closely connected to the place we call home.

Q: What kind of insurance do I need for a leased vehicle?

Q: How would you explain renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. Looking for coverage?
