QBE Sells its Personal Lines Business to Safeco

November 9, 2018 By Mark Leonard

Handshake

You may or may not have heard, that QBE, the company that purchased General Casualty in 2007, is now being sold to Safeco Insurance. The deal, which was announced this past August.

What this means for QBE/General Casualty policyholders is a non-renewal of their current policies beginning February 1^st, 2019. In place of the non-renewing policy, a new policy will be issued by Safeco with similar terms and pricing. The non-renewing and re-issuance of a new policy will not have an adverse effect on your future insurability.

If you are a current QBE policyholder and have questions, please feel free to contact our office.

Lynn was very helpful getting me set up with car and home insurance.

Great costumer service

Leonard Insurance is easy to deal with from the initial contact thru servicing the account. Exactly how it should work.

Melissa E.

I see I'm not the only one receiving a letter of "Non Payment and Past Due Notices" From an insurance company I've never heard of nor used in the past whatsoever according to my records. The letter states no insurance type, policy or information and is void of any indication of what I'm 'past due on. Nor have I EVER been contacted by this company in the past regarding any account. The letter is only signed Leonard Insurance Services and bares no name of the underwriter or agent. Seems like fraud. I've reached out twice no response.

Jennifer, Lindsay and Kathy are always very pleasant and helpful. Thank you.

Sarah S.

I received a letter in the mail today telling me that I was past due on an insurance premium. I didn’t even know they existed until I received this letter in the mail, so I’m not even sure how I could possibly be past due an insurance premium I don’t even have.

It is always a wonderful experience working with Leonard Insurance. We work mostly with Lynn and Kathy and they are so knowledgeable and helpful!! We would recommend Leonard Insurance to all our friends and family!!

Steve R.

Jane and I have have been with the Leonard agency for about 20 years and am so glad we switched from American Family. Not only did we save money on our homeowners and auto, but we got better coverage as well.

John R. G.

I recently changed my costly homeowners insurance from another firm. Lynn reworked my auto insurance and packaged multiple vehicles and Homeowners policy and still saved me $1700! Great Agency!!

The folks at Leonard Agency, especially Jenny, are wonderful to work with in their diligence and professionalism. They respond expediently, answer all questions thoroughly, and are all around on the ball. And I really appreciated the hand written congratulations and thank you card from Jenny when I bought my house. Very thoughtful folks, I cannot recommend enough!

Kathy

Thank you Chris and Leonard Insurance for setting us up with home, auto and an umbrella plan to safe guard our most valuable assets and possessions. You offered us great coverage and saved us a great deal of money and the coverage is equal to and even better than our old expensive plan we had at auto owners. Thank you again Chris for all your help in setting us up with our insurance needs through Leonard insurance. If you call Chris at Leonard Insurance you won't be disappointed.

Been with them for approximately 32 year's . They have taken good care of me No reason to switch. Hard to find dedicated people

A B.

I contacted Leonard Insurance seeking insurance for my new business venture. The quote they provided was far better than other insurance agencies I had contacted. My husband and I were so impressed with Leonard Insurance and our insurance advisor, Reed, that we asked for quotes for our home/umbrella and car insurances. Given the price was much less than and included more coverage than our current insurance, we made the switch to Leonard Insurance for all our private and business insurance needs!!!

We are brand new customer with Leonard Insurance Services for our home, car and truck they made every step of the process go very smooth. Every staff member we spoke to were extremely nice. They are knowledgeable, courteous, responsive and they search for the best coverage at the best price! We are very satisfied customers!

John K.

We've been getting our car and home insurance from Leonard's for 45 years now (except for maybe 1 year), while we were renting an apartment from Mel and Maryann above their office on 17th and Silver Spring in 1975 when we got married. Mark started in that office not too much later.
Always got good rates and coverage, and our daughter and her husband do too.
It's great working with honest people looking out for our best interests.

Craig G.

This may make me sound old but it has been a pleasure doing business with Leonard Insurance beginning with Mel at the GEX Store about 54 years ago. Can't go wrong with a great family and family business.

Betty R.

Excellent service for many years always!

Daryl W.

I am a brand new customer with Leonard Insurance Services (Auto & Home), and in every step of the process - the entire staff and Mr. Leonard himself have been tremendous. They are knowledgeable, courteous, responsive . . . and they search for the best coverage at the best price! I am a very satisfied customer!

Leslie M.

I happen to be one of those people who knows life gets pretty messy and plan for the worse. Sometimes balls get dropped, however, once Mark was made aware he has kept an eye on things and even surprised me by being at the inspection of the property. I feel like we are getting on the right track and I think with a bigger insurance rep they wouldn't get hands-on with the matter. So thank you

Sherry Robin J.

Great insurance company to work with.

Diane Graham P.

I've used them for years and they have never failed me.

Sara A.

Leonard Insurance always goes above and beyond. Not to mention they’re nice people. I have been a customer for thirty years.

Ben B.

Reed Noel was an excellent partner to have during my first home search. Instead of having to shop numerous quotes Reed made getting insurance easy and found me a fair deal. He was always very responsive and professional with whatever question I had and was very responsible with any financial information that needed to be exchanged. I would highly recommend Reed to anyone who is finding a new home. Thanks again for all your help!
