The history of this agency goes all the way back to 1947 when a man named
Rambo opened up The Rambo Agency. Stan Watson came to work for Rambo
in 1970, and three years later opened up Wickenburg Insurance. 1 ½ years
later, Stan bought out the Rambo Agency, keeping the name Wickenburg
Insurance.
Over the years, the agency has gone through various owners, including the
Community Bank. At times the change in ownership brought about a change
in the name, such as CB Insurance, CB-Leavitt Insurance and Sallee-Leavitt
Insurance.
In 1996, Don and Tricia Sallee moved into town and purchased the Watts
Agency, a small agency that started in 1991. The agency grew in leaps and
bounds over the next few years creating a reputation for excellent service
to their customers.
In January of 2001, this small agency purchased ownership in CB-Leavitt
Insurance and changed the name to Sallee-Leavitt Insurance. With their
combined 35 years experience in the industry, Don and Tricia brought in a
wide range of knowledge and expertise.
Since merging their agency with CB-Leavitt, Don and Tricia have made several
changes to the company. With each change the agency has become more
efficient and better able to help customers with their insurance needs. One
of these changes came about in September 2005, when the agency ended its
relationship with the Leavitt Group. While the Leavitt Group was beneficial in
many ways, a completely independent Sallee Insurance has a greater capacity
to assist customers in obtaining excellent service and insurance packages that
fit their individual needs.
Although the agency has evolved over the years, the basic idea has remained
the same. Every customer that walks through our door has different needs. We
see it as our job to determine what those needs are and how we can best help
to answer them. As an independent insurance agency we work with a large
number of different insurance carriers. Each of these carriers offers different
coverage plans and options. As an independent agency, Sallee Insurance can
provide help for all of these needs, and help to keep down costs by shopping
among the many carriers. In other words, we can help find the best product
to fit your insurance needs at the best price.
