Welcome to the Scotty Dykes State Farm Agency in Harriman, Tennessee! Since becoming a State Farm Agent in 2000, I have enjoyed helping individuals, families, and business owners throughout Roane County and surrounding East Tennessee communities understand their insurance options.

🤝 Teamwork On and Off the Field: Meet Scotty Dykes
I've always believed that strong relationships and teamwork make a difference, whether you're on the football field or helping someone understand their insurance.
As a graduate of East Tennessee State University and a former student-athlete, I learned the value of preparation, communication, and working toward a common goal. Today, I bring that same mindset to my work as a State Farm Agent and my involvement coaching high school football.
I have served as a State Farm Agent in Harriman since 2000, building relationships with individuals, families, and local business owners throughout Roane County. One of my favorite parts of this work is getting to know the people behind the insurance questions and helping them explore their choices through different stages of life.
My professional connections include membership in the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the National Association of Insurance and Fin Ad (NAIFA), and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). These connections reflect my interest in staying involved with the professional and business communities we serve.
Outside the agency, coaching gives me another opportunity to work with young people and share the importance of teamwork, preparation, and commitment.
At our Harriman agency, we want every customer to feel welcome asking questions. Whether you're visiting us for the first time or have worked with our team for years, we look forward to getting to know you!

❤️ Life Insurance in Roane County: Planning for the People Who Matter
Life Insurance conversations often begin with a simple question: who depends on you, and what financial responsibilities do you help support?
At the Scotty Dykes State Farm Agency, we help individuals and families throughout Harriman and Roane County understand how available Life Insurance options may relate to their circumstances.
When should you revisit Life Insurance? Marriage, welcoming a child, purchasing a home, changing careers, or caring for a loved one may introduce new financial responsibilities. Changes in income, outstanding debts, household expenses, and longer-term priorities can also influence the questions worth considering.
What if you're exploring Life Insurance for the first time? You don't need to know which policy you want before contacting us. We can discuss the people who depend on you, your current responsibilities, and what you'd like your coverage to help accomplish before explaining available State Farm choices.
What if you already have Life Insurance? Reviewing an existing policy can help you better understand your current coverage, beneficiaries, and available options as your needs evolve.
What should business owners consider? Depending on the business and its ownership structure, Life Insurance may also be relevant to questions involving key individuals, ownership interests, business debt, or other financial obligations if an owner or another person important to the operation dies.
Whether you're raising a family in Harriman, establishing roots in Kingston, or entering another chapter elsewhere in East Tennessee, our team welcomes your Life Insurance questions.

🍂 Cooler East Tennessee Days, Holiday Plans and Home Preparation
November and December bring cooler evenings, shorter days, holiday gatherings, and changing travel routines throughout Harriman and Roane County.
While East Tennessee winters are generally milder than those farther north, occasional freezing temperatures, heavy rain, and winter weather can still make seasonal preparation worthwhile.
🏡 Is your Harriman home ready for colder weather?
Consider clearing gutters and drainage areas, disconnecting outdoor hoses when freezing temperatures are expected, checking exposed pipes, and inspecting exterior lighting.
Testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, reviewing household escape routes, and arranging appropriate maintenance for furnaces, fireplaces, and other heating equipment can also be part of winter preparation.
A remodeled room, finished basement, new roof, deck, detached structure, or other significant improvement may provide useful context when reviewing Home Insurance.
🏠 What should renters and condo owners consider?
Moving into a new apartment, changing roommates, renovating a condo, or purchasing significant belongings may introduce new insurance questions.
Renters Insurance may help with certain covered losses involving personal belongings and liability, while Condo Insurance involves individual coverage alongside insurance maintained by the condominium association.
🚗 Is your vehicle ready for holiday travel?
Thanksgiving and December holidays often bring family visits, longer drives, and busier roads throughout East Tennessee.
Before heading out, consider checking tires, windshield wipers, lights, batteries, and emergency supplies. Purchasing a vehicle, adding a household driver, or changing how a car is used may also introduce new Auto Insurance considerations.
🎄 What about holiday gatherings and time away from home?
Holiday decorations, overnight guests, and travel plans can bring additional household activity. Inspecting holiday lights for damaged wiring, keeping decorations away from heating sources, and maintaining clear entrances and walkways can be useful seasonal safety measures.
If you'll be away for an extended period, consider securing your property, maintaining appropriate indoor temperatures during freezing weather, and arranging periodic home checks.
From Harriman and Kingston to Rockwood, Oliver Springs, and surrounding Roane County communities, our team is here to answer questions as households prepare for the holidays and the months ahead.
