Couldn’t be more pleased with my partnership with TMG. Everyone at the Raleigh office is more than happy to offer their guidance and support through any obstacle I may come across. They have provided so much training through their website and social media accounts. They’ve reached out during crucial enrollment periods offering a helping hand if needed as well as throwing some amazing leads my way. Thanks TMG family!!

I finally got to meet Mike Newton of Tidewater Management Group OFFLINE. He is as genuine as one could get both online and offline. I was privileged to also meet Mike's father, Gary, at Medicare and Margaritas. Mike poured his knowledge into the attendees and he did not hold back. I learned a lot for sure. I'm sure it made Mike so happy to see his father light up knowing what Medicare opportunities are available for him as well.

I'm updating this post, because I had a couple representatives from Tidewater reach out to me, regarding the delay in my release. For this particular carrier, it takes a little longer, due to having to go through another upline. They let me know the process of what was needed, and they sent me the paperwork to take care of the release. Everything is all good now, especially since they provided me the reason for the delay.

I have been seeking my path into the medicare market and I need look no further. It only took a few conversations and looking into the scene to find Tidewater, and Mike Newton, the man who brought me in are the real deal. Tidewater not only offers all the carriers one would ever need, they provide you with the direction and tools to utilize each of their products to fit a clients needs. Hard time finding people to help? They are by far ahead of the curve in terms of where to not only find clients, but also positioning yourself for them to find you, building the brand. I'm not sure what else one needs besides people to see, products to help them, tools to be more efficient, and information on the education to Make It Happen. But if someone does need something else, I'm sure they have that too, I just haven't needed it yet. Tidewater has it all!

Our Core Values

Integrity

At Tidewater, we strive to have integrity in everything we do from day-to-day office tasks, to focusing on agent support, to being there to answer questions and solve problems.

Family

Everyone that walks into our office feels the warmth of our connections. We truly feel like family and not just co-workers. We were there for each other just like we're there for our agents. Our family extends much farther then the walls of our office all the way across the country, anywhere we have agents.

Service

It is so important to give back. At Tidewater, one of our favorite things to do is volunteer to serve. From going to the food bank to collecting and donating canned goods, to donating toys to local children's hospitals, we hope we can make a small difference.

Respect

Respect is an important value to hold when creating and maintaining lasting connections. Mutual respect between us at Tidewater and our carriers as well as between us and our agents is something you can count on.

Partnership

Partnership is at the core of Tidewater. Without the partnership with all of our agents as well as our partnership with Integrity, we would not be where we are today.
