Our History
John Darr, Sr. and Ray Schackow entered the insurance business in 1992 as Nationwide agents in the Gainesville regional office. They were at separate agencies but always shared a common space. In 1993, John’s son John, Jr. (Johnny) joined his father. The father-son agents were committed to creating lifetime relationships with their customers and providing quality customer service. As a result, the agency grew significantly. In 2007, John Darr, Sr. retired and sold the agency to his son, Johnny, and son-in-law Richard Rowell.
In the same building, Ray Schackow continued to grow his business with the same ideals in mind – quality customer service and lifetime relationships. In late 2007, the landscape of the insurance industry in Florida changed dramatically and Darr and Schackow, after 16 years of sharing space, decided to merge. Since the beginning, the goal at Darr Schackow Insurance has been the same; to help our clients protect and manage the most important assets in their lives: their families, their incomes, their homes and their cars. Hence our slogan of "Strength, Service, Stability."
