Welcome to the Elvis Gates Jr State Farm Agent office in Long Beach, Mississippi. As a lifelong resident of this community, I’ve proudly served Good Neighbors throughout our coastal counties since opening this office in 2001. My journey with State Farm began in 1985 and after 40 years with State Farm and 25 years as your local Good Neighbor Agent, I’m committed to helping individuals, families, and businesses explore insurance options that support their goals. Wherever you are in Mississippi, I'm here to support you.
Our office is ready to help students, parents, and new renters explore coverage options. We offer Auto Insurance for daily commutes, first-time drivers, or college students heading off to campus. For those renting an apartment or student housing, Renters Insurance can help cover personal belongings and offer support during a move. We encourage you to reach out to discuss how these services may fit your current needs. We also offer coverage options for homeowners, condo owners, and business operators. Our Home and Condo Insurance options are designed for both new buyers and longtime residents throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast. For small business owners, we provide Business Insurance that can support operations across a variety of industries. If you own a motorcycle, we also offer coverage to help protect your ride, whether it's for work or recreation. Life Insurance remains one of the most meaningful coverages we provide. Whether you're newly married, growing your family, or preparing for the years ahead, our team is ready to help you explore the available options. We understand how important it is to support your loved ones and are here to guide you through the process with care and clarity.
Outside of the office, I stay active in the community by serving on several boards and sponsoring local events organized by the city and the Chamber of Commerce. I’m an avid scuba diver with hundreds of logged dives, and I enjoy fishing, traveling, and spending time outdoors with my wife, two rescued dogs, and six cats. If you’re nearby, stop by our pet-friendly office in Long Beach or give us a call — we’d be happy to connect and learn how we can support your coverage needs.
