Higdon Compton Insurance Agency

prominent Houston law firm. Higdon Compton, Sr. saw an opportunity

All the
things that build client/agency relationship into a long-term
partnership
We have proved that providing
consistently good service attracts repeat business. Our agency is
customer driven, rather than market-driven. Focused on pursuing
sound surety fundamentals - stringent field underwriting
discipline and outstanding personal customer service, our mission is
to continue to achieve long-term, enduring value for our customers,
rather than temporary success. We are pleased to report that we
continue to resist the allure of short-term benefits while building
a foundation for long-term surety company and customer loyalty.
Higdon Compton Agency's surety and
fidelity operations are firmly established. While the majority of
our book of business consists of solid standard accounts, we don't
rely on convenient formulas to make a decision.
That leaves us free to utilize common
sense and underwriting tools like:
Our goal is for clients to think of
Higdon Compton Agency first for both their standard and
specialty business. The basic fundamentals of our business will
remain constant: Respond forcefully to niche-market opportunities;
identify value-added partnerships; know when to enter a situation,
and know when to exit one; and, most importantly, continue to build
customer value over the long-term. In the word's of one of our
surety partner's, 'our main activity will be to continue our
tradition of finding a responsible way to say "yes" to bond
requests'. As a result, more customers than ever thought of HCA
first for both standard and specialty surety business.
