Leavitt Group affiliates Lower Valley Brokers Insurance and Sloan-Leavitt Insurance have merged.

Nathan Beus (pictured), co-owner of Sloan-Leavitt Insurance, said having the Lower Valley Brokers Insurance team on board “just made a lot of sense” for both camps.

“Together, we are stronger and better equipped to navigate the evolving insurance landscape, delivering exceptional value to our clients,” he declared.

Sloan-Leavitt Insurance, established in 1954 in Othello, Washington, offers a wide range of insurance products including property and casualty, life, and crop insurance. Lower Valley Brokers Insurance, meanwhile, helps clients with their business, benefits, and personal insurance needs.

“Change is on the horizon, and we are embracing it with optimism with a commitment to making it a positive experience for everyone involved,” remarked Vicki Banker, co-owner of Lower Valley Brokers Insurance.

“This change ensures greater stability and resilience as we navigate challenges in the insurance market. Our client’s loyalty means everything to us, and we sincerely appreciate their continued support.”

In a separate announcement, it was revealed that Leavitt Group Midwest has acquired Augustine Insurance Agency in Ohio.

Robert Augustine shared about his retirement: “After thoughtful consideration, I decided to leave the legacy my father built, and I was able to continue, in the capable hands of Leavitt Group Midwest.

“I am very grateful for a 44-year-long career in insurance and am looking forward to fishing and spending more time with my family.”

As part of the swoop, the operations of Augustine Insurance Agency moved to Leavitt Group Midwest’s location at 570 Polaris Parkway, Ste. 450, in Westerville.

One of the biggest privately owned insurance brokerages in the US, Leavitt Group has a vast network of over 90 agencies and more than 250 locations across 27 states.
