Comments from our Clients:
 

"Would like to respond to the recent letter I received in the mail in regards to the Ultimate Question. 'On a scale of 0 to 10 how likely are you to recommend this agency to your friends?' My answer is a 10.
I have found Robert Guardiola very professional as well as helpful and my encounter with the agency has been above average."

  Thank you all,
Beth Smith
Katy, TX
   
"I received your letter requesting feedback on my experience with Geremy and your agency.  Geremy is a wonderful agent, that I refer to ALL of my clients.  As a mortgage broker I take referrals very seriously and Geremy has gone above and beyond to be available for my clients and provides all of us with excellent service and pricing.  You have a true gem in Geremy, and thank you for requesting my feedback.  Have a great day!"
  Sincerely,
Carrie Panacek
C&T Mortgage, LLC
 
"I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving Holiday.  I wanted to let you know that Joseph Sirju helped me move my homeowners and auto insurance to your agency this week.  Joe was very helpful and took great care of my needs.  I would feel confident in referring any of my customers and friends to Joe."
  Regards,
Don Butler
Katy, TX
 
"When I needed a policy written in 2 days in order to close on my house, you were able to deliver. [TPAG] has been a good company to work with to this point, but the company is only as good as its agent (you). As far as I’m concerned, my policy is with you."
  Aaron Thompson

About the Agency:

Founded in 1993, the Thom Polvogt Agency Group has grown to serve over 4,000 customers with over 7,000 policies! From our original location in Katy, Texas we have expanded across the state including 3 offices in Katy and offices in Victoria and El Paso! Please visit our Locations page to find the office nearest you.

We realize that insurance and financial security are not one-size-fits-all. That's why we work with each individual customer to ensure that he / she has the right protection for their individual needs and the needs of their family. We pride ourselves on providing the very best in customer service. Perhaps that is why our growth has come primarily from two key sources: existing customers who seek additional policies from us, and new customers who have been personally referred to us by an existing customer.

We welcome the opportunity to assist you with any questions you may have regarding insurance or financial investments. Feel free to call or stop by one of our offices to speak with an experienced agent regarding your personal needs and goals for the future. We look forward to working with you!
