Lisa Zaccagnino

Personal Lines Manager

Lisa Zaccagnino is our home and auto insurance guru! She has 27 years of insurance industry experience in personal lines account management and has been with J. Hoffman Insurance since January 2016. Being able to consistently meet new people and make sure they have the proper insurance coverage is what Lisa loves most about being an insurance agent.


Lisa is a lifelong resident of Orange County, who was born and raised in Chester and has resided in Montgomery for the past 33 years. She is happily married to her high school sweetheart and is the proud mother of three wonderful adult children and two adorable grandchildren. She is also a devoted “dog mom” to her family’s three pups.



When Lisa isn’t providing our agency’s clients with the best home and auto coverage, rates and customer service, she enjoys making memories with her family, cooking, spending time outdoors, and carrying on traditions she and her husband have had since they were teenagers, such as taking road trips, going to car shows and hopping in the car for long “Sunday drives” that could lead them to either somewhere new or somewhere familiar! She is too humble to talk about all the charitable efforts she and her family put forth in the community, quietly and lovingly, several times a year. But we’d be remiss if we didn’t share the fact that Lisa has a heart of gold, regards all people with care and personal attention, and never misses a chance to make a difference if she can.
