Todd Fincher with Integrity CEO and Co-Founder Bryan Adams

Our Core Values

Tidewater Management Group is an Integrity partner with a dynamic, trustworthy support staff that works with agents throughout the nation. We empower our teams to perform with a sense of polished professionalism you won’t find anywhere else.

We value honesty, transparency and authenticity because that’s how you build trust. We aren’t flashy, ostentatious, or overly ‘salesy,’ instead we’re professional, respectful, and kind. We’re a dynamic group of young, energetic, and motivated entrepreneurs focused on providing you the high-quality, personalized support you need to succeed. Supporting excellence.

  • 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.

  • Agent Success Stories

    Real Agents. Real Results.

    From the moment I spoke with Mike and Janna at Tidewater, they have treated me like family. They have gone above and beyond to help me grow my business and educate me not only about the marketing aspects but also the contractual side of the industry. For that, I am extremely grateful. Tidewater is simply the best FMO out there, and I would recommend all of my fellow agents to reach out to them for assistance.

    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.
