October is not only the spooky month, but did you know it's also National Pizza Month? YUM!

Welcome to the Mark Lanier State Farm Agency! While I still enjoy having a little fun and keeping things light, what really excites me is helping people feel confident about protecting what matters most. I’m a third‐generation State Farm Agent proudly serving Lakeland, Florida, and I’ve spent my entire life rooted right here in the community I serve.

I bring over 20 years of State Farm Insurance experience to my agency. Before opening my office in 2017, I spent nine years as a State Farm Agent Team Member and two years as a State Farm Insurance employee, learning the business from the ground up. I was born and raised in Lakeland, Florida, and I’m a University of Florida alumnus, which gives me a deep understanding of the people, neighborhoods, and needs throughout Lakeland, Mulberry, Plant City, Bartow, Winter Haven, and the surrounding areas. We proudly provide auto insurance and homeowners insurance quotes throughout the state of Florida, with a strong focus on Polk County and Hillsborough County.

Our agency loves helping individuals and families who are relocating to Lakeland, Florida and nearby communities. Whether you’re renting your first place and need renters insurance, own a condo and are looking for condo insurance, or have purchased a home and want dependable homeowners insurance, my team and I take the time to walk through your options and answer your questions. We also have meaningful conversations around life insurance, helping you prepare for the future and protect the people you cherish most. As a small business owner myself, I especially enjoy working with fellow local business owners to help them protect what they’ve worked so hard to build with business insurance that fits their needs.

Giving back is important to me, and I’m proud to support and volunteer with organizations such as Parker Street Ministries, Operation BBQ Relief, Pedal Power Ministry, and the Ridge Riders Mountain Bike Association. I understand the responsibility that comes with serving this community, and I enjoy helping provide meals and donations to those in need, including first responders, youth sports leagues, and many other local organizations.

My team and I look forward to working with you, so give us a call or stop by the office to request a personalized insurance quote!
