Our Story

Plano's Most Trusted
Independent Agency

AR Schell & Son Agency was founded in Plano, Texas in 1930 — making us not just the city's oldest insurance agency, but one of its longest-standing businesses of any kind. What started as a local agency built on integrity and hard work has grown into a three-generation institution, trusted by thousands of Collin County families and businesses to protect what they've built.

As an independent agency, we've never been beholden to a single carrier's products or quotas. Our loyalty is to our clients. That independence means we can compare policies across multiple top-rated insurers and build coverage around your real life.

We are Plano neighbors first, insurance professionals second. Our deep roots in Collin County and Denton County shape how we serve every client. When you work with Schell Insurance, you join a relationship built on trust, continuity, and the kind of personal service that only a true local agency can deliver.
