Leavitt Group Expands with Another North Carolina Agency Acquisition

Leavitt Elite Insurance Advisors, part of the multi-state Leavitt Group, has merged with another North Carolina agency.

Simmons Insurance Agency, with offices in Pilot Mountain and Mount Airy, was founded in 1973 and has been managed by Pam Morgan since 2001, the companies said in a news release. Morgan and staff will join Leavitt and will eventually adopt the Leavitt name.

The merger comes after other recent acquisitions for the Leavitt Group. In the past year, Leavitt bought Barr Insurance and Bill Abee Insurance Group in North Carolina. In 2021, Holdenrid Insurance Group and Griffin Insurance, both in North Carolina, were merged into Leavitt.

The latest move gives the Utah-based Leavitt Group 15 offices in North Carolina. Across the country, the brokerage has more than 200 locations in 27 states, Leavitt said.
