What they don’t realize is that not all agents are created equal. As an independent agent, Henry Freudenburg Insurance Agency Inc., is not tied to any one insurance company. Clients can pick and choose from many companies to provide customized cov-erage and a better value.And because it represents more insurance companies than most other agencies in Galveston, Henry Freuden-burg Insurance Agency Inc., is able to offer broader insurance options that are right for your family, business and organization. All policies come with the trusted advice and service of the local Henry Freudenburg team, which you simply don’t get with a 1-800 company based hundreds of miles away. Henry Freudenburg has been serving the Galveston County area for more than 55 years and may be the only Gal-veston insurance agency owner who founded his own firm and remains at the helm. A company simply doesn’t last that long in business unless it provides superior products, excellent service and reasonable prices. Henry Freudenburg is a fourth-gener-ation Galvestonian and former mayor of Galveston who also has served his city as president of the Galveston Junior Cham-ber of Commerce, chairman of the City of Galveston Traffic Commission, Galveston Chamber of Commerce, Galveston Ok-toberfest, Coastal Windstorm Insurance Coalition and is a founding member of the Galveston Pro-Business PAC.HENRY FREUDENBURG INSURANCE AGENCYBEST INSURANCE AGENCYGALVESTON INSURANCE ASSOCIATESAMERICAN NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANYTHE NEWS YOU WANTDELIVERED TO YOUR INBOXSIGN UP TODAY!GALVNEWS.COM/NEWSLETTERSJune 2019 | Readers’ Choice Winners | The Daily News | 11GalvNews.com/PressRun 409-683-5260OCTOBER 26, 2019REGISTER NOW!Conquer the Causeway in the 8th Annual Run/Walk SMART Family LiteracyTITLESPONSORSThanks For Voting Us The In Galveston County!#1 Mortgage CompanyMATT HAWKES | BRANCH MANAGER1009 Broadway St. | Galveston, TX 77550p: (713) 521-0413 | e: matt.hawkes@nflp.comApply now at nflp.com/matthawkesNMLS# 20188712 | The Daily News | Readers’ Choice Winners | June 2019Thank you for voting Network Funding Galveston County’s No. 1 Mortgage Company. Network Funding opened in 1998 in Houston and has grown nation-wide by putting people before prof-it. Network Fund-ing likes to say it’s “family-owned and family focused.” Matt Hawkes is the branch manager in Galveston and decided to move his branch and family from Hous-ton to the island in August 2018 because the majority of his business is in Galveston County. “Keep it simple, answer the phone” is one of Hawkes’ mottoes. Having been in the industry for more than 23 years, Hawkes knows it’s the basics like communication, efficiency and speed that lead to happy clients. “We’re known for our quick close, too,” Hawkes said. Network Funding recently rolled out a 10-day clos-ing, but Hawkes’ office has closed a transaction in as few as seven days. Tools such as the award-winning SIMPL application, a mobile-friend-ly mortgage loan application, dash-board and more, help speed up the process of securing a loan, as well. Walk-ins are always welcome at the island office at 1009 Broadway.
