Affordable Home Insurance
Affordable Home Insurance (AHI) is one of northwest Florida's leading independent agencies. Under the leadership of its founder, Dennis Gagnon Jr., AHI has been instrumental to Centauri's growth in the Florida Panhandle. “Dennis Gagnon and his team have been incredible partners to Centauri and have exceeded my expectations since becoming their sales manager in June.

Company culture plays an important part in the agency and is one of the reasons why it is so successful. Dennis Gagnon, AHI's president, says "We want the agency to feel like family. We probably spend more time with our colleagues at the office than our own families at home so it is important to enjoy the people we work with."
