About Craig & Leicht
Founded by Amy Leicht-Craig and former TSLA president Matt Leicht, CIC, CPCU, ASLI, Craig & Leicht has earned a strong reputation for their multi-faceted experience in a wide variety of industries, specializing in contractors, retail, and habitational risks.
Craig & Leicht’s notoriety goes beyond the usual with, “We cover weird” being both a point of pride and a company slogan for good reason. Using their unique and intuitive knowledge of high-risk and unusual businesses, they have earned a reputation being the ones to call for innovative and out-of-the-box solutions with a keen eye for gaps in coverage.
Their unique and varied experience, customer-focused support, and quick quote turnarounds have resulted in impressive growth, allowing them to reach beyond their Texas roots and earn recognition that transcends state borders.
“Throughout the years, Craig & Leicht have been on an impressive growth trajectory and have shown great ambition. We look forward to adding their considerable passion, expertise, and capabilities to the XPT team as we continue to further our ambitious plans for growth and our prioritization of quality,” said Mark Smith, XPT President.
“I am thrilled to add the incredible leadership skills of Amy and Matt to the XPT team. I look forward to working with them in continuing to expand our P&C capabilities not only in Texas, but throughout the country,” said Kyle Stevens, XPT Group EVP
Operations for Craig & Leicht will continue from their Houston, Texas location, with clients receiving the same service and benefits as before with added access to XPT’s wide selection of high-quality products, programs, and carriers.
Craig & Leicht are members of IIAH (Independent Insurance Agents of Houston), PIA Texas, WSIA, and TSLA (Texas Surplus Lines Association, Inc.).
