For more than 45 years, businesses and individuals throughout Maryland’s Eastern Shore and beyond have looked to Schauber-Van Schaik Insurance Group for their insurance needs. This agency’s many loyal clients have come to rely upon the professionals at Schauber-Van Schaik as trusted advisors who recommend quality insurance products with protection that is appropriately tailored to each client’s specific needs.

“We absolutely credit our growth and success to the satisfaction of our loyal customers,” says co-owner Robert Van Schaik. For three decades, Mr. Van Schaik and his daughter Terese Schauber have worked together to build an agency that provides the efficient, high-quality services for its clients that they would want and expect for themselves. “As a local family-run business, we focus on always providing our customers with excellent claims service and superior insurance products at highly desirable rates,” says company president Terese Schauber.

Today, Schauber-Van Schaik’s exemplary staff of 14 professionals serves clients from a main office in Easton and a second office in Cambridge. Its experienced agents offer collective expertise in a comprehensive line of insurance products, including policies covering personal and commercial vehicles, residential, rental and commercial properties, boats, farms, crops, worker’s compensation, personal and commercial liability, and, of course, life insurance.

One of the agency’s primary objectives is to utilize the expertise of its agents to educate both its insured and prospective clients, helping them to make informed decisions regarding insurance products and the companies offering them. Insurance protection and policy decisions are important, but can be perplexing and time-consuming. Schauber-Van Schaik’s competent and conscientious agents strive to simplify it all for their clients—taking the time to get to know them and understand their protection needs. They explain coverage details and possible hidden costs, emphasize the difference between the price and the value of that coverage, initiate and help to expedite claims and recommend as well as oversee policy changes— basically, saving clients hours of time, much frustration, and, possibly, costly mistakes resulting from switching to direct-writing companies.

In reality, the worth of insurance policies greatly depends upon the objective consumer ratings of the companies offering them. Schauber-Van Schaik Insurance Group is an independent agency representing many top-performing companies.

Its longest running agency association has been with Erie Insurance, which has consistently maintained an A+ rating with A.M. Best over its 86 years in business. Erie also has been named to Ward’s Top 50 list of top-performing companies—winning the award for achieving outstanding financial safety, consistency and performance over a five-year period. Schauber- Van Schaik has represented Erie Insurance for 43 years and Erie’s quality products, outstanding claims service, underwriting and company standards have allowed the Schauber-Van Schaik Insurance Group to meet clients’ coverage needs with very competitive pricing.

When Robert Van Schaik founded the agency in 1964, he believed that if it excelled at the services it provided and went the extra mile for customers, the business would thrive—and it has.
