Janice Thompson

I’ve been a State Farm agent for over 30 years. I first opened my agency in 1988, and I proudly serve the residents of Douglasville, GA and the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, including Lithia Springs, Austell, Cobb County and Douglas County. My agency handles homeowners insurance, auto insurance, renters insurance, life insurance and more, including financial services.

What I love most about working in insurance is the opportunity it gives me to help people and give back to the community. I love meeting people and getting to know them and their needs, and I take great satisfaction in helping people protect the things that matter most to them. My agency is committed to—and known for—providing an extremely high level of customer service. This means always being responsive and focused on our customers and their needs—especially when it comes to processing claims and being there when it matters most. We’ve formed a great many long-term relationships over the years, and we’re honored and humbled to have earned the trust of our customers.

I’m originally from Anniston, Alabama. I attended Gadsden Business College in Alabama, and moved to Douglasville, GA back in 1973—and I’ve been happy with that decision ever since. In 1988, I was recruited to become the first female State Farm agent in the area, and I’ve also been happy with that decision ever since! I love finding ways to give back to the community, and over the years I’ve found plenty of them. I’ve been involved with the United Way and the local Rotary Club—which also elected me as their first female president—and I was named the Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year in 1988. I’m proud of these honors, but what makes me prouder is the work and community service that led to them. Giving back is what it’s really all about.
