Leawood is named for Oscar G. Lee, who bought the land between State Line and Belinder back in 1922. The Kroh brothers built homes there after him, and the city was incorporated in 1948. Today it's a quiet, tree-lined community right on the Missouri border.
Troy Lentz at Shield Squad Agency works with Leawood families from Independence, along with their neighbors in Overland Park and Prairie Village.
Leawood sits right on State Line Road, so the Missouri side is practically next door. We're happy to help by phone, by text, or online.
Bigger homes, nice cars, and valuables like jewelry or art can need more than a basic policy. We'll take the time to look at the whole picture with you.

These are the coverages Leawood households and businesses ask us about most.
Crossing State Line Road can be part of an ordinary errand here. We'll set up coverage with the Kansas-required PIP and uninsured motorist protection, and help you choose liability limits that protect what you've built.
Custom finishes, large square footage, and mature trees can all make a Leawood home more expensive to rebuild. We'll help you set a dwelling limit that reflects what it would really cost.
Renting while you build or between houses? A renters policy protects your belongings and liability until you're settled.
Life insurance can protect your family's lifestyle, pay off a mortgage, or help with estate plans. We'll compare term, whole life, and IUL with you clearly.
Leawood has plenty of professional offices, medical practices, and boutique shops. We'll go over liability, property, and other coverage that fits your practice or storefront.
Weekend rides out of the city are a nice break. We'll make sure your motorcycle is covered for how you ride and where it's stored.
If your boat lives at the lake house or in storage until summer, we'll explain how it's covered on the water and on the trailer.
A motorhome is a big investment. We'll go over coverage for the road, the campground, and the storage lot where it waits between trips.
Pets are family, and vet care can get expensive fast. We'll explain how pet insurance through Farmers, provided by Pets Best, can help with covered costs.

A few things we'd bring up with a Leawood homeowner or business owner.
Yes. We're in Independence, Missouri, and work with Leawood families and businesses by phone, text, and online.
If you have significant assets or a lot of exposure — a pool, teen drivers, or frequent guests — an umbrella policy adds liability protection above your home and auto. It's worth a conversation.
Home insurance basicsHomeowners policies often limit coverage for jewelry, watches, and similar items. Scheduling valuable pieces separately may give you broader protection.
Home insurance basicsAuto policies typically cover you in other states. Because your car is registered in Kansas, your policy is built around Kansas requirements, including PIP.

Renters insurance basicsGive us a call or send a text to (816) 291-3898. We're glad to walk through everything with you, one step at a time.

Bundling is not a magic coupon. Here is when Auto/Home or Auto/Renters usually makes sense for Missouri and Kansas households — and when I tell people to pause.
You do not need a 40-page illustration to start. You need a clear reason, a realistic number, and a policy you will still understand in five years.
A regular home policy is built for you living there. The moment you hand over keys to a tenant, the insurance conversation changes.
