Shirlene Schafer
Assistant Team Lead/Licensed Agent

My name is Shirlene Schafer, and I have serviced hundreds of clients over the past 30 plus years and all with the same agency.  The thing I enjoy the most is helping my clients with their insurance needs and the personal relationships that I have made.  I started with 3 owners as a secretary and added customer service representative and an agent to my job duties.  Today I am a full-time licensed agent in the industry.  I am a wife, mother of 2 boys and a grandmother of 2 grandsons.  I enjoy Jigsaw Puzzles, Reading, Crafts, Trips with my Sisters and MOST OF ALL playing with my Grandsons.

Ashley Ness
HR / Bookkeeping

I was born and raised in Mandan, but moved to MN for college.  I graduated from Bemidji State University with a degree in Business Administration emphasis in Marketing.  After graduation, I was unsure of what I wanted to use my degree for, but knew I wanted to find a job close to home.  I joined the Steffes Agency in February 2022 and have quickly learned that it is important to form close connections with the clients.  In my spare time, I’m spending time with my family and friends.

Eldin Alagic
Licensed Agent

I was originally born in Bosnia, but moved to North Dakota very early where I was raised in Mandan. I graduated from Mandan High and went to school at University Of North Dakota for Banking and Finance. Throughout school I was constantly involved in sports and any activities that gave me an excuse to go outside and meet new people. I’ve always enjoyed helping others, and with this agency, I’m excited to give the clients the best help that they need with their insurance. In my free time (if the weather permits) I enjoy anything outside whether that be golfing, fishing, or going on the pontoon in the river.

The thing I enjoy most is getting to help people every day and building new connections. In my free time I enjoy being outside when it’s nice, and spending time with my family and friends.
