If you are looking for an insurance agency to handle your insurance needs, Darr Schackow is the place to go! As a long time State Farm client, it was hard for me to switch my insurance. I finally switched my auto over to Paul Freix at DSI and I am so thankful I did. The customer service is like no other. Paul sat down with me and explained all the coverages on my policy, which up to that point I had no clue what I was even paying for. For the first time I did not base my decision solely on price but on the fact that I had an agent who cared about me and was making sure I had the proper coverages. I love that if I have a problem or question, I can call my agent and speak to him or one of his assistants each time versus calling a service center and never speaking to the same person. Their staff is professional, knowledgable, and truly cares about their clients. What more could you ask for?

The life insurance agent my husband and I did business with is Christopher Coleman. We highly recommend using his services. He is very knowlegable and was exceedingly patient with my many questions. He took the time to fully explain every detail of my policy and did research to find us the best rate for what we needed. He treated our needs as if he was shopping for himself. Paul Friex is the agent that recommended him to us, we have our home and auto policies with Paul and have had them for a number of years, we trusted his recommendation to use Christopher for our life insurance needs. He was not wrong what a wonderful team they are!

I called Darr Schackow to see if I could save any money on my home owners insurance. I was told to call and have a wind mitigation done on my home and was referred to Bruce Graham to do it. I call Bruce and he came and quickly did the inspection and sent all the information to my insurance company for me. I was shocked when I received a check for over $2000.00 as my rebate on my insurance within just a few weeks. I am very grateful to the Darr Shackow Insurance Company for always looking for the best insurance for the best price for our family and business. I would recommend them to anyone!

Darr Schackow is the ONLY insurance agency to use in Gainesville, FL! I HIGHLY recommend their excellent, fun, and knowledgable staff. John Darr is an honest guy who loves to help people save money and protect their family/property. Heather is also a great staff member to work with for home insurance. Just based on her personality alone I wanted to work with the agency. Every insurance need I have had, they have met and more! Looking forward to a long relationship together!

Everyone knows the feeling when they realize the insurance company they were using was only sending them a bill and really were not concerned if you were truly protected. Insurance for me is managed risk, you only risk what you can afford to lose. John Darr went through line by line on my business and auto policy to make sure there was NO unmanaged risk, it actually only cost a couple of bucks more to get where I needed to be. Great Company! Thanks John!

John Darr and the team at Darr Schackow Insurance provided a unique experience to me in providing a solution to my property and casualty risk management needs. Their ability to work with multiple providers to match with our vehicle and home owner insurance needs was very comforting in knowing we were getting a well designed plan. Proper coverage and not just lowest premium is what drove the decision making process. Thank you John.

Darr Schackow Insurance helped me save nearly $200 on my home insurance. My agent, Janet Sweeney, made the process so easy! Not only did I save money on my home policy, she went over my car insurance policy with me and let me know I was already getting the best price. Janet took the time to explain my current coverage and recommend minimal changes that will protect me better. I highly recommend using Darr Schackow Insurance.

This is by far the best insurance agency I have ever dealt with. Owning a Body Shop here in Gainesville puts me in a unique position of dealing with people and their insurance at the worst possible time, right after an accident. We get many customers who are insured through Darr Schackow. They ALWAYS have the right coverage and great understanding of their benefits and the process. I HIGHLY recommend Darr Schackow!!

Kerry Ward at Darr Schackow Insurance is our agent for all of our vehicles and now for our brand new home! She was fast and efficient and relieved all of our worries as first time home owners! Kerry was thoughtful and understanding and even gave us her cell phone number in case we had questions or concerns after business hours!!! Thank you so much for making this part of the home buying process so easy and worry free!

The personal lines house team is very patient and knowledgeable with all of my questions that I have. They have taught me a lot about insurance and I am happy to have them as my insurance agency. I would recommend them to everyone! THANK YOU DSI!

Darr Schackow has had my business for many years and I could not be more satisfied. In my dealings I have always worked with either Paul Freix or Heather Boczar and they are very conscientious to return calls or emails and work diligently to find me the best coverage for the best price based on my situation. I give them my highest recommendation and look forward to continuing our relationship.

John helped me find the proper insurance to launch my business when everyone else said no several years ago. He was incredibly easy to work with and had answers to all my questions. Recently, I even found out he had a branch specific to helping me obtain a certain permit that will allow my business to grow and thrive! I look forward to working with DSI in the future!

Moving to Florida from Indiana is really an intimidating adventure to say the least. Paul Freix has been patient, professional, and thorough. He has had suggestions for companies to use for my insurance needs that best fit my lifestyle and situation. He has responded immediately to get all policies in effect as quickly as I wanted. I highly recommend his service.

Kasey Lenoir was awesome to work with. She took care of everything from canceling my old policies to working with my lender to get my escrow changed over. She also saved me about 50% on my auto insurance and a couple hundred dollars on my home insurance. I highly recommend her.
