I highly recommend any agent or agency to contract under this marketing organization. Tidewater Management treats you as if you are a part of their family. This organization goes above and beyond assisting you to make sure you have every tool possible to be successful in the insurance industry. The staff at Tidewater Management are all professionals in their area of expertise. I work closely with Bobby Heptinstall and I can count on him being on top of new carriers coming into my market and following up on every contract that I submit. Bobby, has shown me that I can count on him and his team for all guidance and needs. If you are looking for a marketing organization that cares about you and your success then Tidewater Management is the organization which you need to be under. Let Tidewater Management help your work load be less stressful.Read moreRead less

I feel very fortunate to have found such a helpful and caring fmo. Every single person I work with is 100% quality. They get back to me quickly, provide stellar training and support me in all my insurance endeavors. Mike Newton and Ronnie James push me to challenge myself and go further than I thought I could go. Most importantly these folks are real...they do what they say they are going to do and care about myself and my family. Couldn't be happier. 100 💥💥💥💥💥💥Read moreRead less

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!

If you are thinking of contracting with Tidewater Management Group, DON'T. In my experience with the company, they have not been honest with agents who have contracted with them. I am currently contracted with Tidewater and they will not release me from my contract even though they said that if I was every unhappy with my relationship with them, I would be able to be released from my contract and go with the FMO of my choice. Tidewater states publicly that they have an "Open Release Policy", but in practice they do not! I am unhappy with Tidewater and their unfilled promises. They are playing a stall game with me and it is hindering me from going forward with my choice of another FMO that would better serve my needs. Tidewater will not allow me to have access to all of their tools promised to me to grow my business. I would appreciate if the company would do what they say and act like the professionals they say they are!!!Read moreRead less

BEWARE OF TIDEWATER!!
When I signed a contract with Tidewater I was told there would be no problem in granting me a release. No mention was made of a six month wait. Now I am requesting an immediate release and Tidewater is not standing by their WORD.

Before 4th quarter we were asked which counties did we wanted to work as Mike Newton was ordering leads. We received NO leads in those counties.

Tidewater will talk about perks but just know that is only if you are contracted directly with Tidewater and not through your local manager. At no time during the “courtship” process were we told there was any distinction between being direct with Tidewater or not.
Our new FMO, (Medicare Insurance Advisors) has a reciprocal agreement with Tidewater to release agents. Tidewater is not honoring it.

Now our team of 15 is left in limbo. Our new FMO cannot offer us support because he is not receiving commissions. Tidewater has removed the minimal support it has been giving. Our team now has NO support for the upcoming months.

They promised that agents could be released from their contract any time they ask. I have asked to be released and am not allowed to. While waiting on release, support has been suspended. They don't want me to leave, but also, don't want to help me either. I have to wait 6 months to get out with them.Read moreRead less

I have had contracts with different FMOs over my career in this business. I think one of the areas that Tidewater excels is their personal connections to agents. Whenever I call in, whoever answers, I am treated like a friend. Not only that, but whatever question I may have at the time, if it can’t be answered right away (which it usually is), within a short period of time, either through a callback or email, I have my answer. In summary: A very friendly and knowledgeable staff.Read moreRead less

The best thing about Tidewater is that they live up to their word. I worked with another FMO prior to joining up with TMG and there were many promises made that just did not come true. I have not been here very long but I already know this is the FMO I can't latch on to for the long run. Their approach, while seemingly simple, just does not happen at most companies. They believe that if they help you succeed and exceed your expectations they too will be successful. It's very refreshing and it makes work much more fun.Read moreRead less

I have been with TMG since 2007. I have personally watched them grow from a small operation in a tiny office in Raleigh, NC to multiple offices in multiple states. However, unlike most companies, as they have grown they have not become too big for their britches. TMG has continued to have the personal touch and care for the agent that is truly unparalleled in our industry. Everyone with TMG is extremely helpful and so many have become true friends - Escobar, Lemmons, Chad, Ronnie, Newton, Serena, Bobby, Megan, Carolyn ... and on and on ... Not to mention the CEO, Todd Fincher, has become a close personal friend. If you've been in business for a while - or plan to be long term in the insurance business - then you can not have a better partner than Tidewater!!Read moreRead less

I’ve been a broker for 8 years, and I’ve been working with Tidewater for about 2 years. I am very happy with this Marketing Organization. From their incentive trips, lead bonuses, high commissions, knowledgeable agent support, and gifts that they give away, I haven’t found any other marketing organizations that match the overall broker experience.

Their solid business foundation and sustainable outlook makes me confident that I will work with them for a long time.
