Claudia Hoffmann began her professional career at Liberty Mutual Insurance in 1997 and began working at The Segura Agency for Goosehead Insurance in 2016. A key point of pride in her job is the fact that Goosehead is an independent insurance agency.

“Goosehead is an insurance agency that allows me to offer a wide variety of product options to specifically fit the client’s individual needs.” She believes one of the main factors to Goosehead Insurance’s success is the dedication to satisfying clients beyond their expectations. “We treat clients the way we want to be treated,” says Claudia.

Claudia is actively involved with the community. In 2017 she participated with Integrando Hispanos part of Camara De Empresarios Houston, bringing education for first time home buyers in Spanish. Claudia also became a member of Hispanic Mortgage Lenders Organization, also known as HMLO, which expanded her longtime dream of educating the community for first time home buyers in English and Spanish.

Outside the office Claudia enjoys giving back to the community and spending time with her family and assisting her husband coaching soccer. “Sports help prepare kids for life and I enjoy playing a role in their development on and off the field” she says.
