ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Susan, and am an Oregon, Washington and Idaho State Licensed State Farm Insurance Agent, here to help you with your car insurance, home insurance, life insurance, and small business insurance needs.
I consider myself a proud small-business owner, backed by the largest insurer in the United States. Our Agency opened in 2000, but that’s not where the story began. Getting to work with two of my sisters, Sandy Hinkle and Sheryl Fowler, we were all blessed with a very rich State Farm background, in fact, one could say we were all “born” into the industry as our grandfather, Frank Olberding, father, Mike Olberding and aunt, Camille Miller were all State Farm Agents.
All three of us got to work for Dad while attending Newberg High School which has contributed immensely to our outstanding customer service skills and relationship building as we got to learn from our father and he knew how to take care of customers! Personally, I got to work full time for Dad while attending night school at Portland State University, to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Business. Once I had my degree, Dad suggested spending time working in our Claims Department to enhance my future State Farm Agent skills. I loved working for State Farm in our Claims Department for 12 years before returning to Agency in 2000. The wealth of knowledge I gained from those years definitely has contributed to our successes!
At the Susan Schibel Agency, we do insurance differently. We are very responsive, and we truly care about our customers. My team of Licensed professionals and I take time to get to know you and understand your unique insurance needs. We focus on giving you the value and service you deserve, and we make you feel like family along the way. There aren't many companies, insurance or otherwise, where you get access to a dedicated person and team who you can call, text, or email and get a response from someone you actually know.
In addition to the Olberding sisters combined insurance experience of 95+ years, we love working with Grace who is Licensed and has several years of State Farm experience as well along with Susan’s husband, Tom, daughter, Sarah and son, Gabe. Growing up in the Newberg Area, we are very familiar with the surrounding areas and look to be involved in the Newberg, Dundee, St Paul, McMinnville, Dayton, Yamhill, Carlton, Sheridan, Willamina, Lafayette and Sherwood communities as much as possible. We do this through participating in civil organizations such as Kiwanis and Chamber of Commerce, and by supporting other local businesses and organizations in any way we can. If you're local to the area, there is no doubt you've seen our sponsorship signs at the local schools or ball-fields.
It is our Mission to protect you, what you love, and who you love. Because without the love, it's just insurance. Call for a quote today and we can help provide for you Car Insurance, Renters Insurance, Boat Insurance, ATV Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Life Insurance, Liability Insurance, and more!
