David Offutt is the Fort Worth insurance agent who literally wrote the textbook. He has authored three published books on insurance, built a test prep platform that trains over 2,000 Texas candidates a year, and has served clients from the same West Fort Worth address since 2007. If you want someone who knows this industry inside out — not just as a salesperson, but as an educator and economist — you are in the right place.
Why Clients Choose David

Background
David was born and raised in Fort Worth. He earned a BS in Economics from UT Arlington and an MS in Economics from the University of North Texas. That foundation shapes the way he works — he analyzes coverage the way an economist analyzes risk, and he explains it the way a teacher explains a concept. You will not get jargon. You will get a straight answer.
He opened his insurance agency in 2007 and built it from zero to over $3 million in annual revenue — no book of business handed to him, no inherited clients. Just consistent work, referral relationships, and a reputation for showing up. The agency’s bread and butter is the home and auto bundle, which is also where most Fort Worth families get the most value.
David’s realtor network is one of the most active in the area. He has led a monthly Buffini and Company referral group for realtors since 2010 — a working group focused on earning referrals through genuine relationships, not sales tactics. Nearly 3,000 realtor referrals over his career is the result.
In 2014 David founded Texas Real Estate Academy (TREA), which now offers 35 TREC-approved continuing education courses. He built the learning management system himself. In 2025 he co-founded 123AceTheTest, a Texas insurance exam prep platform serving over 2,000 candidates annually, with a 4.8 out of 5 satisfaction rating. He authored all course materials to match the TDI exam blueprints.
