There are only 250 offices in the entire United States, he said.<br \/>\nThe local office will employ between 10 and 15 people, about the same size as the Albany office.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are hiring as many people as we can,\u201d Schrade said, and have already brought some on board.<!--more--><br \/>\nSchrade\u2019s father, Richard Schrade, is in charge of the Albany office, which opened in 2014. The Schrades are independent contractors and previously ran the Albany office together.<br \/>\nGEICO insurance adjusters are headquartered in other communities and are direct employees of the company.<br \/>\nThe office in Saratoga is in a 2,400-square-foot rented space in the Algonquin Building. To get it ready and meet health and safety standards, Schrade has had air filters and plexiglass shields installed. He also added office space and a new front counter area.
