Don’t be surprised if\, at any given time\, we have several hundred years of experience in the room. Many of us are out there every day\, proving this stuff really works. \n\n\n\nIf you come\, don’t just be a taker. We find those who get the most out of our group are givers too.

Tom says\, “Having the relationships with thepeople we touch through our agency and our community means being there for them today and in thefuture. We want to help our Referral Partners in Mortgage\, Finance\, and Real Estate\, and their buyersnavigate through the important decisions relating to acquiring property and choosing the rightinsurance protection for their situation. We can help educate clients\, resolve concerns\, evaluate optionsand provide a unique and exceptional customer experience.”Tom is a native Texan who has lived in the Katy area for over 30 years\, including graduating fromTaylor High School (Go Mustangs!).

Tom\, Wendy\, and the team are very excited toprovide customers with a true choice for insurance\, finally! They represent a variety of top rated localand national carriers and will find the best fit for your lifestyle and budget.Tom and Wendy enjoyed raising their children in the Katy area (Go Spartans!)\, and they often takeTexas road trips to explore this great state of ours. They frequently ask clients and business partners\,“What can we do to protect the things that matter the most to you?”Many clients are retail buyers who plan to occupy the property\, and more still are investors\, secondaryhome or vacation home owners\, and rental property managers. The network of contractors and serviceproviders to manage the maintenance of a residence is voluminous\, whether the occupant is an owner\,tenant\, or short term occupant. Each brings a unique set of circumstances that the insurance businessin general has failed to educate. We intend to fix that.Tom and Wendy have owned a TREC approved Continuing Education Provider for 6 years\, and theyregularly educate Real Estate Professionals and they myriad of industries surrounding them onHomeowners\, Secondary/Vacation homes\, Rental Properties or Landlords\, and Flood Insurance policies. \n________________________________ \nDemeris BBQ (Map below)1702 W Loop N Fwy Ste AHouston\, TX 77008 \nJune 28\, 20226:00 PM – 8:00 PM \nMEMBERS: FREENON-MEMBERS: $20.00 (Wait!
