Leonard Butts
Agency Owner and Independent Agent, Powder Springs, GA
That is the whole approach, in Leonard’s own words. It is worth reading twice, because it is also the reason the agency runs the way it does. Leonard is not paid a salary by one insurance company and told which policy to sell. He is licensed to place business with 21 different carriers and has spent more than three decades learning where each one is genuinely competitive, not just where the commission is highest.
Independent, not captive
One call reaches twenty-one carriers
A captive agent works for a single insurance company and can only sell that company's product, whatever it costs and however it fits. An independent agent is appointed with several carriers at once and works for the client rather than for any one of them. Leonard Butts Insurance Agency is appointed with 21 carriers, including Progressive, GEICO, Travelers, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, Chubb and Lloyd's, so a single conversation about a car, a house or a business can be shopped across that whole list instead of one policy from one company. You describe the risk once. Leonard does the comparing.
Three states, one reason it matters
Leonard Butts is a licensed resident producer in Georgia and also holds licenses in Alabama and South Carolina. Most local agencies in Cobb County only write Georgia. That third-state reach is not a technicality. It is the difference between one agency handling the whole picture and being handed off at a state line partway through.
It matters to a family relocating from Atlanta to Charleston or Birmingham who wants their auto and homeowners coverage placed before the moving truck arrives. It matters to someone who owns a second home, a lake property or a rental unit across a state line, and needs one point of contact rather than two separate agents who have never spoken to each other. It matters to a boat or RV owner who registers the vehicle out of state, and it matters to a contractor or trucking operation running vehicles across Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina under one commercial auto policy instead of three disconnected ones.
None of that requires switching agencies when life crosses a state line. It requires one phone call to the same number, 678-903-3936, whether the address in question is in Powder Springs or three states away.
What working with a small agency is actually like
At a large call-center agency, the person who quotes a policy is rarely the person who answers when a claim needs to be reported six months later. At Leonard Butts Insurance Agency, it is the same person both times. The phone number on this website, 678-903-3936, is the number Leonard answers directly, and it is also set up to receive texts. There is no ticket queue between a customer and the agent who wrote their policy.
That model is part of why the agency’s commercial book runs wider than most agencies its size. Alongside the standard general liability, workers’ compensation, commercial auto and business owners policies, the agency has written coverage for churches, jewelers, woodworkers, videographers, self storage facilities, apartment building owners and special events. A large agency organized around a handful of standardized commercial products has a harder time saying yes to a jeweler asking about a jewelry floater or a videographer asking about equipment and liability together. A small, independent agency with 21 carrier relationships and 40 published lines can look at the actual business and find where it fits.
The office itself is based in Powder Springs, at 5046 Rosemeade Ct, and the agency is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Coverage is written across the entire state of Georgia, not just Cobb County, so distance from that address is rarely the reason to call.
