Valerie Flanigan

My insurance career began in 1984 and has involved every kind of insurance from horse mortality to farms to marina coverages. In 1995, my husband, Mike, and I moved to Quincy, California to be part of Murray & Edwards Insurance Agency, where I worked in commercial insurance. Then in 2003, we partnered with Leavitt Group to purchase the agency and Flanigan-Leavitt was born. I’ve continued focusing on commercial and agriculture accounts and manage the accounting and day-to-day operations of the agency.

We love our clients! Our agency is very relationship-focused, and we pride ourselves on providing big city services with the small-town personal touch. I particularly enjoy working with business owners, farmers, ranchers, and non-profits.

We meet clients wherever they are and really care about each person’s needs. I’m a great listener and love to be with people and discover what will help them the most.

Community and professional service is an important part of my life. I’m a member of the International Association of Insurance Professionals (IAIP) and have served as a trustee on the board of directors for Plumas District Hospital since 2006. Additionally, I volunteer with a local faith-based group, Labor of Love, that provides service once a month. I am a lector and member of St. John the Evangelist parish, and our agency has cooked and served the Quincy Community Supper every September for at least 15 years now.

Mike and I have three beautiful adult sons whom we love to spend time and laugh with. I also love to work in the yard, do anything outside, and play with our sweet little dogs, Deedi and Gusto.

Quincy is the most precious place to live, from the people to the beautiful mountains and lakes. Buck’s Lake is my favorite spot and is heaven on earth; we are blessed to live and work here.
