Hunt-Leavitt Insurance Agency and Roberts-Leavitt Insurance Services Combine Operations

Hunt-Leavitt Insurance Agency and Roberts-Leavitt Insurance Services, both Leavitt Group affiliated insurance agencies, recently combined operations. The St. George Area Chamber of Commerce will celebrate this announcement at a ribbon cutting at 3:00 on February 9, 2010. Jaron Hunt and Travis Roberts are the local managing co-owners of the agency. The phone numbers remain the same.

The agency will now operate as Hunt, Roberts & Leavitt Insurance Agency. The Roberts-Leavitt staff has moved into the current Hunt-Leavitt location at 162 North 400 East, Building C, Suite 102 (Between Designer Furniture Gallery and Workforce Services). “The move comes with more parking.

The merger will expand the lines of services and insurance carriers available. “Our customers will still work with the same fine insurance professionals as before, but our staff will now have more tools at their disposal to serve them,” said Hunt.
