A Heartfelt Client Testimonial That Celebrates Legacy of Petschauer Insurance

July 2018 marks Petschauer Insurance’s 60th anniversary! In celebration of this accomplishment, we would like to share a heartfelt message from Linda Schmidt, (one of our longstanding clients) that perfectly highlights our firm’s legacy and continued mission to build & maintain honest and trusting relationships.

It all began in Richmond Hill in 1964 when I met John Petschauer of John Petschauer Insurance of Ridgewood, Queens. And so it began and continues until today. Petschauer Insurance has remained our exclusive insurance agent for the last 54 years and continues to grow.

How fortunate we all were when the baton of continuity with the utmost of professionalism wrapped in a warm and caring environment and workforce introduced us to daughter, Heidi Petschauer. With the inherited principles and charm of her parents, she is a woman of her word, just as her Dad always was.

Petschauer Insurance has met all of our needs, from our own Real Estate holdings, both Personal and Commercial, to automotive coverage. Our consultation with Heidi regarding Estate Planning in 2009 will no doubt serve as a blessing to yet another generation, our children.

Our good fortune and peace of mind lives on through Sharon Davidson, who for the last six wonderful years has been the perfect Petschauer Ambassador. She reflects and upholds the high standards of Petschauer Insurance with her guidance and effectiveness continuing to prove that at Petschauer Insurance, it is always so much more than quotes and premiums. We remain grateful.

In appreciation,

Edwin, Linda, and the Schmidt Family
