Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group is the best mortgage commpany in all of Hampton Roads, according to readers of the Virginian-Pilot, Hampton Roads’ largest daily newspaper. The announcement of the 2008 Virginian-Pilot Reader’s Choice Award winners on May 18 also shows that Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group earned the Best Of Virginia Beach title for the tenth year in a row. “There is nothing more satisfying than getting support from the communities we serve. Thanks for voting for us!” says Brian Holland, Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group President.

With several offices throughout Hampton Roads, the locally based mortgage banking group also received “Best Of” 2008 gold awards from all the rest of the voting cities: Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton and Williamsburg. The Best Of Hampton Roads title is awarded only when a company receives top honors from all eight cities. “Atlantic Bay Mortgage is one of very few that won in ALL cities, so you might not see many of these around town!” says Pilot Account Executive Donald Blankinship of the Best Of Hampton Roads award.
