What is Manufactured Housing?

Manufactured homes are built in factories and then transported to their designated sites. Unlike traditional homes, they are built entirely in controlled factory environments under the guidelines of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). By opting for manufactured housing, you unlock a plethora of advantages. These homes are notably more affordable and energy-efficient compared to traditional homes. The manufacturing process also ensures timely construction without weather-related delays, and offers an array of customization options, allowing you to tailor your home to your unique tastes and requirements.

Your Experience is Our Priority

Your local lending partner, our team strives to exceed your expectations before, during and after the mortgage process.

Gee came recommended from my real estate agent and I'm glad I reached out. Tidewater was able to provide a loan that was far and away the best available, nearly a full point lower than the best rate from one of the major national lenders at the time. Gee and her team were knowledgeable and professional every step of the way. I was also impressed at how prompt they were in communication. This made navigating a few interesting situations that arose during my purchase much easier.
If I find myself in the market for another loan in the area, I will absolutely be reaching out to Gee again.

Closing went awesome and smooth as can be.. Thank you so much for the basket of goodies.. Between you guys and Martha we were spoiled.. Just got water n power on and believe it or not half of the house is packed and moved to the new house already..  We were very blessed to have had you as our loan officer and doesn't hurt that you have an awesome staff like Linda  and all..  Thank you thank you so much again Paul for being so patient and considerate you have made our dreams of being home owners true.
 

Mrs. W

Good experience. Enjoyed working with Paul.

J. Foshee

We first applied for a loan at our financial institution. The experience with them was horrible, we felt like we were nobody to them. So down the road we went. Found Paul Branch as a recommendation from a friend. Our lives changed. Paul sat down and explained everything to us like he was a very good friend. Huh? We were not used to this considering what we just had experienced. When we had a question and left a message he promptly called us back. To our surprise Paul helped us get the very best interest rate, better than our bank!! If I know anyone looking for a loan I know who to send them to. HAD TO DO IT!
