Hi, and welcome to the Matt Gilliland State Farm Agent office in Gaffney, SC! I am a lifelong resident of Gaffney who joined State Farm in 2009 to help the people of my hometown with their insurance needs. In 2014, I opened the doors to my own office and have loved providing reliable coverage to my Good Neighbors in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties ever since! Nearby areas we serve include Blacksburg, Chesnee, Cowpens, and Pacolet, but we also serve all of South and North Carolina!

We offer State Farm’s full range of comprehensive insurance services to help protect you, your loved ones, and your most important things. Whether you need Auto or Motorcycle Insurance for your vehicles, Home, Renters, or Condo Insurance to cover your living space and belongings, or Life Insurance to build a financial safety net for your loved ones, we can help! We can also cover your small business venture with Business Insurance, your recreational vehicles with RV and Boat Insurance, your four-legged friends with Pet Insurance, and more.

I graduated from Gaffney High School and earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina. I am proud to call Gaffney my home and love being involved in the community! When I’m not in the office, you can often find me supporting our local sports teams, attending local car shows, participating in community events, or spending time with my wife and three boys.

I would love to help you and your loved ones with your insurance needs, so don’t hesitate to give us a call or visit our office to speak with our dedicated team. We look forward to welcoming you!

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.

Q: Do you need to carry insurance on your home?

A: Homeowners insurance requirements may vary by your state and situation. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require coverage, and many homeowners choose it for added protection. Serving Gaffney and the surrounding area, Matt can help answer your questions.

Q: What happens when you have life insurance in place?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active, helping offer financial protection. Have questions? Matt in Gaffney can walk you through your options.
