Happy 250th Birthday to our Nation!

As a licensed State Farm Insurance Agency serving Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, we offer various insurance options, including car, home, life, and small business insurance.

Our Story

The Susan Schibel Agency opened its doors in 2000, but our journey in the insurance industry began long before that. My sister, Sheryl Fowler, and I grew up surrounded by insurance, guided by our grandfather, Frank Olberding, our father, Mike Olberding, and our aunt, Camille Miller—all of whom were dedicated State Farm Agents.

While attending Newberg High School, we had the unique opportunity to work for our dad, which laid the foundation for our exceptional customer service skills. I later worked full-time for him while pursuing my bachelor’s degree in business at Portland State University. After earning my degree, I spent 12 years in our Claims Department, gaining invaluable experience that has contributed to our agency's success since its inception.

Q: What exactly is renters insurance and how does it work?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment.
