Welcome to the Jeff Butler State Farm Office in Hickory, NC!

Whether that means checking in on Auto and Home Insurance before the colder months, protecting your family with Life Insurance, or making sure your business is set for a busy season, my team and I are here to help.

I am a proud Burke County native who has called Catawba County home for many years. I started my State Farm career in 1985 and opened my agency in 2001. Since then, it has been an honor to serve families across Hickory, Conover, Newton, and throughout North Carolina. We offer Auto, Home, Condo, Renters, and Life Insurance, as well as Business Insurance for local owners. We also make State to State Transfers simple for anyone relocating to Catawba, Burke, Lincoln, Caldwell, or Alexander Counties.

Outside the office, I have been married to my wife, Julie, since 1993, and we have raised our two sons, Joseph and Jared, right here in the community. I have spent many years coaching youth baseball at St. Stephen’s Optimist and cheering on college football when fall Saturdays roll around. I am proud to serve with the Hickory Rotary Club and to support the Salvation Army’s annual Bell Ringing campaign each holiday season.

As winter settles in, my team and I are ready to keep your coverage moving with you. Stop by, give us a call, or connect with us online. We look forward to working with you.

Q: What coverage is required when leasing a car?

A: Leased vehicles typically require more coverage than the state minimums. In addition to liability insurance, leasing companies usually require comprehensive and collision coverage, and you may need to list the leasing company on your policy as an additional insured or loss payee. Jeff is proud to serve the Hickory community.

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

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Serving Hickory and the surrounding area, Jeff can help answer your questions.

Q: What exactly is renters insurance and how does it work?

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. Have questions? Jeff in Hickory can walk you through your options.

Q: How does a life insurance policy actually function?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active, helping offer financial protection. Jeff works with Hickory residents to find coverage that fits.
