Erica Herndon Timmons

Staying prepared can make all the difference when life changes, and I’m here to help you review your insurance needs with confidence right here in Savannah, GA. I’m Erica Timmons, your local State Farm insurance agent in Savannah, GA, and my team and I are licensed to assist customers across Georgia and South Carolina. We help with Auto and Homeowners Insurance for everyday protection, along with Renters and Condo Insurance when housing needs shift. We also support small business owners with Business Insurance and help individuals and families prepare for the future with Life, Health, and Pet Insurance, as well as coverage for motorcycles, RVs, and boats.

My roots run deep in the Southeast. I’m originally from Spartanburg, SC, grew up in Vidalia, GA, and graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. I joined State Farm as a team member in 2009 and opened my own office a few years later. My path into insurance was shaped by personal experience after being injured in an accident, where I saw firsthand how guidance and support can matter during difficult moments. That experience, along with encouragement from my brother who worked on an insurance team at the time, led me to a career focused on helping others navigate life’s challenges.

Outside of the office, family and community keep me grounded. I love spending time with my three kids, all under the age of five, and staying involved locally. I’m proud to support organizations such as the Brett Boyer Foundation, First Tee Savannah, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, among others, and I value giving back to the community that supports us. We’re happy to assist in English, Spanish, and Korean. If you’re looking for insurance support with a personal, approachable feel, my team and I would love to connect! Call or visit our Savannah, GA office when you’re ready.
