“Most insurance professionals entered the industry either by chance or by the influence of a family member. Greg Schaefer experienced the latter.
Growing up on Long Island, Schaefer regularly spent time in his father’s insurance agency – founded in 1975. Though Schaefer began work on Wall Street, his father was able to convince him to come back and work for him when he began thinking about a perpetuation plan.
Getting a taste for the work, he later moved to New York City with his wife, leaving his brother to run the family business.
Schaefer Enterprises was founded in 1999 in the SoHo District of New York. Specializing in small doctors’ offices, urgent care clinics and local construction practices, the boutique agency has enjoyed significant success. Under Schaefer’s careful hand, the agency has grown more than 240% within the past three years.”
