Thanksgiving season brings laughter, warmth, and a lot more activity under one roof. But with so many moving pieces, from decorations to cooking, things don’t always go according to plan. Homeowners insurance exists to help you recover if an unexpected incident disrupts your gathering. A quick November review of your coverage can help you step into the holidays feeling prepared! 🏡

Welcome to the Gene Dukes State Farm Insurance Agency!

Our office in Clemson is proud to serve Pickens and Oconee Counties, including Clemson, Central, Liberty, Easley, Pickens, Walhalla, West Union, Westminster and Seneca. We’re licensed to assist customers across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. We offer a wide range of insurance products, including Auto, Homeowners, Renters, Condo, Life, Business, and Pet Insurance. We’re also happy to schedule virtual appointments, meet at your home, or welcome you into our accessible office - whichever is most convenient for you.

I grew up in Saint George, SC, and am a proud graduate of Clemson University. Today, I live in Clemson with my wonderful wife Kimberly and our two awesome children, Hadley (10), and Lawson (5). Outside the office, you can find me coaching my kids’ baseball and softball teams, playing golf, cheering on Clemson sports, and spending quality time with friends and family!

I became an agent because I wanted the opportunity to help people in our community protect their income, assets, and future. We take pride in being local and approachable - I’m in the office daily and always ready to assist our customers. My team and I make it a priority to explain your coverage in plain terms, so you feel confident in the protection you have.

Our approach is relationship-first. We believe in building mutual confidence with our customers and encourage annual reviews to keep your coverage aligned with life’s changes. Whether you're updating your home policy or exploring life insurance for the first time, we’ll walk you through every step with clarity and care.

We’re proud to be recognized as an Ambassador Club Qualifier and Honor Club Qualifier, which reflect our commitment to excellent service and support. Personally, I’m also an active member of the Walhalla Rotary Club, the Oconee County Chamber of Commerce, and a member of First Baptist Church of Clemson.

As a team, we’re passionate about giving back - volunteering in local schools, participating in Main Street events, and supporting a variety of community initiatives that help make this area such a special place to live and work.

If you’re looking for a team that knows your name, understands your goals, and is committed to serving you with professionalism and heart, we’d love to connect. Call, click, or stop by for a free quote, or schedule a time to meet with us - we’re here to help you protect what matters most!"
