Craig & Leicht

We wrote a policy for a gun club with their own equipment and property for target practice. Smaller valued equipment is often not available for coverage in the standard markets, and this client needed their property and equipment covered!

Think you've got a weird policy request? You're definitely not alone. Don't hesitate to reach out to one of our awesome agents at Craig and Leicht.

One of the ways we believe we have an edge when it comes to specialty insurance is the way we treat our clients like they are one of our own. We understand that by the time you come to us, there may be a sense of urgency and you could be on a tough deadline. Our #1 goal is to serve you in a timely fashion and help meet those "by end of the day" requests.

Our team at Craig & Leicht delights in weird and specializes in FAST. We can't wait to work with you and see what solution we arrive at together.

The equipment for this high school fishing team presented unusual risk and had never been insured before. We've written similar policies for trailers full of equipment for school bands, churches, or contractors. We cover weird at Craig & Leicht

As the hurricane season approaches, it's essential for agents to ensure their clients are fully prepared.

By reviewing policy details and limits now – before a storm is imminent – you can give your client peace of mind in knowing they're covered if disaster strikes.

Additionally, advise them on how to create an emergency plan that includes safe shelter locations; remind them to store important documents securely; and never underestimate the importance of being prepped!

We love letting our social media community in on our strategy at Craig & Leicht. We believe that staying open-minded to possibilities out of the realm of what is considered "normal" is what makes working with our team unique.

“When you’re planning a wedding, someone is always trying to sell you something.” – Jon Stein

Truer words never spoken!

Wedding planning is tough. Getting a bound quote to cover the most magical day of your life shouldn't be an additional headache when you're already dealing with interpersonal family dynamics, vendor drama, and paying out final balances. Our team was happy to support our client in securing an insurance policy quickly to cover this joyous event!

As cooler weather (hopefully) blusters in, it is time to consider how your hunting gear will wear through these colder temps. Your feeders need to be up to code, fit for wind and rain (and hail!) exposure so they can sustain the upcoming hunting season.

We got you covered.

Rising prices seem to be on everyone’s minds lately – from gas and groceries to rent, leisure and entertainment, almost everything is more expensive than it was in 2021.

Unfortunately, one of the more recent cost increases we’ve seen has been in the insurance industry. While this wasn’t completely unexpected – rates have been increasing steadily for years now – it’s a big jump and yet another reminder to agents of the difficult conversations they need to have with clients as part of their job.

No agent wants to tell their clients that they should expect to pay more in insurance costs. That being said, price increase conversations are an inevitable part of the job and need to be handled in a professional and careful way. The following are some tips to do just that.

- Give plenty of notice
- Be upfront and honest
- Offer solutions
- Be open for questions and follow-ups

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to insurance price increase. We’ve helped agents educate their clients through this process, and we’d be happy to help you gear up for next season!

Join us in celebrating a moment of giving back! Last Thanksgiving, Craig and Leicht joined forces to volunteer at the Houston Food Bank - helping out where it was needed most. It's an experience we'll never forget!
