MEET THE ZAIBAQ TEAM

Service with a smile

ghassan (gus) zaibaq

Principal Agent and the Founder of the Agency

Ghassan, or best known as Gus, is our principal agent and the founder of Zaibaq Insurance Agency. Gus started the agency back in 2008 by exclusively representing Farmers Insurance. A couple of years later, he converted it into an Independent Insurance Agency with extensive access to over 120 insurance companies. By taking this move, Gus transformed the agency’s business concept from being loyal and committed to the insurance company to becoming loyal and committed to his clients. As an independent agent, he is free to find his clients the right coverage that best fits their needs. For Gus, the policy is not a document to satisfy the mortgage company only, rather it should respond to the claim at the time of loss. 

Gus holds an MBA degree from the University of St. Thomas in Houston and is a member of the Independent Insurance Agents of Texas (IIAT). In the past, he has worked for different investment companies and banks where he focused on retirement & mutual funds, as well as business & investment development. With his extensive background, he is able to provide advice, assess risks, and write customized policies that best fit the insured’s needs. 

Gus is a family-oriented man and long-term Sugar Land resident. Both his sons attended Fort Bend ISD. In his free time, Gus enjoys traveling, exploring State and National Parks, spending quality time with his wife and 2 sons, and trying new foods.
