Local Allstate Agent: Meet Joe Schneider
I’ve lived in Chicago since 2004, and I’m still amazed at how much this city has to offer. Whether I'm spending a day with my wife and daughter at the Museum of Science and Industry, walking our dog through the neighborhood, riding my bike or cheering for the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks, I’m proud that this is our home. Chicago truly is a world-class city, and opening my Allstate Insurance agency here in 2005 made perfect sense.
I love the hard-working, fun-loving people here, which is why my agency is about more than insurance. Community service is paramount to us, and each team member gets three days a year to volunteer with local charities. We also donate $10 for every customer referral, and we've raised enough to do things like adapt a car for a local cancer survivor with visual impairments. As a cancer survivor for more than 20 years, I support Imerman Angels, the local chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Livestrong Foundation and Love Hope Strength. I also participate in "Movember" each year to raise money for prostate cancer research and men’s health.
People are the foundation of everything my team and I do. We are here to help customers choose an auto, condo, renters or small business policy that is right for them and to support them when they have questions or file a claim. (We also speak Spanish and Romanian and can work with you in the language you prefer.) We’re near North Avenue Beach, between the Sedgwick and North/Clybourn “L” stops — stop by or call us today!

Renters Liability Coverage
As an agent, I’ve seen how renters liability may help you pay for damages if you're found legally responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property. I’ve also seen what can happen if you accidentally cause damage as a renter and you don’t have insurance. In this video, I talk through renters liability coverage and tell the story of one renter who was found liable for a fire.
