We are thrilled to announce Heidi Goff as Agency Manager for Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi! In this role, Heidi will nurture Doma’s independent agents and approved attorneys, and assist them with closing their transactions in a timely manner and expanding their market share. Launching her career in the title insurance industry in the 1990s, Heid was employed for more than a decade by Investors Title Company in St. Louis, where she started as a policy typist and later moved into preparing commitments, abstracting, processing and closing. For the past seven years, she has worked in the home warranty industry as a senior account executive, most recently for Achosa Home Warranty in Alabama.

That is exactly who Doma is.” A few “fun facts” about Heidi: 🌟When not working, you’ll find her watching football, both in person and on TV! 🌟Heidi’s daughter is starting at the University of Alabama this fall.
