I'm 2nd generation in the office. I've been in the office since 1962 after finishing college at the University of Colorado. The office was split then, where we not only did insurance but we also sold real estate and wrote mortgages for people. I started on the real estate side when I was 22 years old and it wasn't until a little later that my father made me realize that I needed to learn the other sides of the business.
1. Make sure you have full coverage on at least one car on your personal auto policy for full coverage to carry over to a non- owned rental car. 2. It may be a good idea to purchase physical damage coverage from the rental agency even when you have it on one vehicle on your personal policy. An auto policy will only pay the physical damage to the rental car.

Working with Kevin at William Schwartz is a true pleasure. His immediate responses to my emails and texts allow me to handle any insurance follow up quickly and cross it off my to do list. Kevin's vast knowledge of all areas relating to personal and business insurance gives me a high level of confidence that my family and business are well protected. I highly recommend Kevin for any of your insurance needs.

While trying to find a new insurance agent, I invested a considerable amount of time reading reviews for several local agencies. When I came across Wm Schwartz & Co. out of Libertyville and read all the glowing remarks that were left about Kevin, he almost seemed too good to be true but definitely sounded like the type of agent I wanted to do business with - "friendly, responsive, knowledgeable and provides a hassle free experience".
I reached out to him via email and he got back to me in record timing! Not only were both my premiums cut considerably (my auto IN HALF and $500/yr on my homeowners) but the new policies are both much more comprehensive with more coverage. Let me just say, this guy is truly a gem. From his initial response to my email until the day I finalized my policies, he was absolutely amazing - great attitude, beyond friendly, and extremely responsive - all while making the entire process seamless for me. I highly recommend Kevin and Wm Schwartz & Co. as their genuine customer service is unheard of nowadays.

I have had the opportunity to be a client of Wm. Shwartz & Co. for over 15 years. Kevin has made the experience of interacting with insurance companies hassle free and comforting. Wm. Shwartz goes above and beyond to get the best deals for their clients. This company truly cares about serving their people and it shows in the time they take to explain in detail the different plans. Kevin is quick to respond to calls to listen to customers specific questions/needs.
The effort Wm. Shwartz and Co. has put in over the years has built trust with me and many of my friends and family members. The people at this business work hard and have great professional integrity.

I have been using Wm Schwartz for my insurance company for several years and I would like to say that Katie Wilson, who has been my representative for the last couple years, has done an outstanding job. Her attitude, her personality and the way she speaks to people is always personable and very informative. Every task I have asked for information or assistance, she has been diligent in her responses.

I recently switched to the Wm Schwartz & Co. independent insurance agency in Libertyville. Kevin Schwartz took the reins and worked with me to get me good coverage at a budget and coverage level I was comfortable with. Many agents/agencies/insurance companies either will not or cannot tailor their services to YOUR needs like Kevin Schwartz can/will/does.
I work with Kevin because MY needs are what he works towards. When I received a notice from my bank about proof of insurance for my investment property I sent it along to Kevin and he and his team had already handled the issue and he let me know this within minutes of my late night email. Stellar performance! I made the right choice in using Kevin Schwartz.

Jason & Kevin have always been very responsive to all of our requests at Lake County Movers. They continue to find the best rates for business insurance year after year and have saved our company several thousand dollars in the process. I would highly recommend Wm Schwartz & Co. for their integrity and concern for their customers.

Last year I moved all of my policies from State Farm to WM. Schwartz and Co. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and made me aware of several gaps in coverage on my previous policies. I ended up with better coverage at a lower premium than I was previously paying! Kevin's customer service and responsiveness was above and beyond any other agents I reached out to for quotes. I feel very confident in my decision to use WM. Schwartz and Co for my insurance needs!

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin Schwartz and WM Schwartz & Company last year. Not only did he review my exisiting policies for holes in coverage, he asked a lot of good questions to make sure that I had the proper level of coverate in for my home and autos. Kevin was very responsive to my questions and taught me a lot about the process. After all was said and done, I had better coverage than when I walked in for a price that was more than reasonable.
