Patty Hood
Treasurer
Owner, Hood Insurance Agency
Patty Hood
Patty Hood opened Hood Insurance Agency in February of 2011 after working for several different agencies in both the independent and captive arena. Patty's goal was to build an agency with her own personal stamp on it, and to serve her local mountain community in Eagle, CO. Edgar Chairez joined the agency in August 2020 to help Patty better serve her clients as well as the latino families and business owners in the area.
“It has always been vitally important to me to build relationships with my clients and create an environment where people feel appreciated and valued. I want to provide my clients with the choices and options that best fit their needs. As an independent broker, I have access to some the best insurance products on the market. That gives me flexibility and options to find the best product for your insurance needs.
I am a local, hometown agent. I feel as a local business owner I have a commitment to support the community in which I live and enjoy. I sponsor and support a number of different non-profits locally including Eagle County 4-H and The Cycle Effect. I also sit on several different boards including the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.
When I'm not working, I enjoy river rafting, camping, or hiking with my side-kick, Cowboy, a Border Collie Aussie mix that is 5 years old now. Cowboy grew up under my desk and is part and parcel of this agency. He'll greet you at the door, ask for a little attention, and go back to sleeping under my desk.”
