Michelle at Tidewater Home Funding is amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was there for me from the moment I called her. I was a first-time homebuyer, and she answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. She made me feel comfortable with the process and protected by her and her awesome team. Even after I closed on the home, Michelle was still there, answering any questions I had. She is super responsive and knowledgeable. I do not think I would have had the wonderful experience I had, if it were not for her and our amazing realtor. Please, if you are buying a home, reach out to Michelle, you will not regret it.

I absolutely enjoyed my time working with Michelle Phillips. She never missed a text or phone call. She answered all my questions and assisted me in all aspects of purchasing my first home. Even when I had home owners insurance questions after I bought my house, she was only a text message away. If you’d like a smooth home buying experience I recommend working with Michelle.

This was a learning experience for both my husband and I. We appreciate all the hard work Michelle and her team did for us. Although at times, it was stressful, we appreciate everything; especially the financial advice about homebuying. Thank you again. We love our new home and we are in the process of still unpacking and trying to decorate. It feels good to wake up to being a homeowner, not a renter. This gives us joy and happiness.

This is my second time dealing with Tidewater with Michelle Phillip, and she is the best. She helped my family purchase our first home and she made the process extremely easy and worked with my schedule. I also recently refinance my home and went through Michelle again, and she again did a great job. She helps you the best she can and tries to look for the best option for you. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Colby Raymond to obtain a mortgage loan for our first home. She was great at explaining the different advantages or disadvantages of the types of loans we qualified for. More importantly, if not for her, we would have been essentially "scammed" out of $11k by our realtor who was trying to have us borrow money from family to bring to closing- not for the purpose of making the sale, but to increase her commission. She literally saved us 11 grand just by being attentive and good at her job.

Michelle Phillips and the team at Tidewater Home Funding make you their priority. They are professional, efficient, communicative and LOCAL! We actually ended up switching from the bank we usually use to Tidewater Home Funding because the bank's loan department was too big to get our closing done on time. I would use this company again and recommend them to my family.

Michelle Phillips made the process of buying a home easy for me. Now with COVID-19 almost everything was done via Doc you sign. Michelle kept in constant contact with me and guided me throughout the whole process. Being a first time home buyer can be frustrating at times but Michelle was right there like I said guiding me through the whole process. Her professionalism is unmatched and at the end felt like family. If I ever need another loan I will be contacting Michelle Phillips. The best!

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience working with Tidewater Home Funding to purchase our first home! We worked closely with Michelle Phillips, who do an amazing job getting all of our paperwork processed and in order for our close date. She was also wonderful about breaking everything down for us and holding our hand the entire step of the way. Purchasing your first home (or any home) can be intimidating and a lot of information, so we were extremely thankful to have Michelle to guide us through the process. Would HIGHLY recommend Tidewater Home Funding!

I worked with Michelle Phillips for my mortgage on the house I recently closed on. Let me just say that she did a fantastic job. From start to finish, I knew that we had gone with a great company and got paired up with an experienced and knowledgeable loan officer. She took special care to be mindful of my particular situation using a VA loan and helping me find a budget that worked for my wife and I. She answered any questions along the way and was accessible at a moment's notice for the last minute details. Everything was squared away and in fact early due to the seller's situation which was no problem for Michelle and Tidewater Home Funding. A larger company might not have been able to accommodate that. All in all, I highly recommend Tidewater Home Funding and ask to see Michelle Phillips! She will take care of you!

Michelle Phillips did an excellent job helping us get into our home. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough with her field and was able to break things down for my wife and I whenever we needed help understanding a process. She was also very spot on with the numbers when she estimated them for us as far as monthly payments for home, interest rates, etc. I fully recommend using her as a loan officer.
