Buying a home is one of the most significant investments that you will ever make. Like most good things, finding the perfect home comes with a lot of work. From your initial search online to your home tour and finally closing, there are many difficult decisions to make along the way. The bottom line is that the entire home buying process can be very stressful, especially when it comes to finding the right mortgage broker and loan for your new home.

Unlike some mortgage loan officers in Charleston, my primary goal is to help you make the right mortgage choice for you and your family.

Why Choose Dan Crance As Your Mortgage Lender in Charleston, SC?
Clients choose my mortgage company because I truly care about helping them navigate the often-confusing landscape of the mortgage process. I am fiercely dedicated to my clients and make every effort to provide them with trustworthy advice and an open line of communication.
In my business, I work for two different customers. On one hand, I have the buyer: the person entrusting me with the responsibility of guiding them through one of the most important decisions ever. Serving homebuyers is not a task that I take lightly. I work with them daily to help them through the process and provide timely updates and news on their mortgage status. On the other hand, I have the realtor: the person who works with my client to find their dream home. Since their commission is in my hands, working with realtors is also a very important task. I update these agents on the status of their customers weekly. Only when I take care of both parties can I say my job as a mortgage loan officer is complete.
As a mortgage broker with more than 30 years of experience, I pledge to give you the highest level of customer service while providing you with the most competitive loan products available. That way, you can buy the home of your dreams without second-guessing your decision.

While no two loan terms are the same, a few of the most common loan types include:
30-Year Loan - This loan is often considered the most secure option to choose. With a 30-year loan, you can lock in a low payment amount and rest easy knowing your rate won't change.
FHA Loan - If you're not able to make a large down payment, an FHA loan could be the right choice for you. With an FHA loan, many of our clients have successfully purchased a home with less than 4% down.
VA Loan - This loan is reserved for military veterans and active-duty men and women. Those who qualify may be able to purchase a home with no down payment and no Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
Choosing a home loan is an important step in the home buying process. At Classic Home Mortgage, we are here to make choosing a loan as easy as possible, so you can focus on the joys of being a homeowner.

Refinancing in
Charleston, SC
Because home mortgage rates in the U.S. have been so low over the last year, many current homeowners are opting to refinance their home loans. Simply put, refinancing is replacing your existing mortgage with a different mortgage under new terms. Homeowners who refinance their homes enjoy lower interest rates, lower monthly payments, and even turn their home's equity into cash. If you're interested in refinancing your home, it all begins with a call to your mortgage broker in Charleston, SC - Dan Crance.
Here are just a few reasons why more homeowners in the U.S. are taking advantage of lower rates and refinancing their homes:
Shorter Term Loan
Refinancing from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage might seem counterproductive on the surface because your monthly payment usually goes up. However, interest rates on 15-year mortgages are lower. And when you shave off years of your previous mortgage, you will pay less interest over time. These savings can be very beneficial if you are not taking the mortgage interest deduction on your tax returns.
Do Away with FHA
FHA loans are notorious for paying premiums for the life of the loan. Mortgage insurance premiums for FHA loans can cost borrowers as much as $1,050 a year for every $100k borrowed. The only way to get rid of mortgage insurance premiums is to refinance to a new loan that the Federal Housing Authority does not back.
Switch to Fixed Rate or Adjustable-Rate Home Loan
Sometimes, borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages refinance so they can switch to a fixed rate, which lets them lock in an interest rate. Doing so is beneficial for some homeowners who like to know exactly how much their monthly payment is each month. Conversely, some homeowners with fixed rates prefer to refinance to an adjustable-rate mortgage. Homeowners often go this route if they plan on selling in a few years and don't mind risking a higher rate if their plans fall through.
Common Questions About Home Loans
Finding the right loan can be a difficult proposition, even if you have been through the process before. This is especially true since mortgage rates and market conditions change frequently. If you're like most of my clients, you probably have questions about interest rates, refinancing options, and a litany of other topics. To help alleviate some of your stress, here are just a few common questions with answers so that you can better educate yourself as we work our way to securing your loan.

Downtown Charleston restaurant owed workers $624K in tips
Chase Laudenslagerhttps://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/charleston-county-news/downtown-charleston-restaurant-owed-workers-624k-in-tips/
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) on Monday announced thousands of dollars in tips recovered for workers at a Downtown Charleston restaurant who had been forced to participate in an illegal tip pool.According to the DOL, management at 167 Raw on King Street “required tipped employees to share tips illegally,” splitting the funds between “management and other typically non-tipped employees.” The restaurant also “failed to pay tipped employees the difference between their di...
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) on Monday announced thousands of dollars in tips recovered for workers at a Downtown Charleston restaurant who had been forced to participate in an illegal tip pool.
According to the DOL, management at 167 Raw on King Street “required tipped employees to share tips illegally,” splitting the funds between “management and other typically non-tipped employees.” The restaurant also “failed to pay tipped employees the difference between their direct wages and the federal minimum wage” and paid less than the federal requirement for overtime rates.
The investigation found 92 workers were shortchanged a total of $624,017 as a result of the illegal financial structure.
Wage and Hour Division District Director, Jamie Benefiel, explained that such violations “are common in the restaurant industry, and they can quickly add up to costly consequences.”
Benefiel went on to say “restaurant industry employers must know and comply with federal requirements to claim the tip credit,” and that “retaining and recruiting workers is more difficult when employers fail to respect workers’ rights and pay them their full wages.”
167 Raw issued the following statement in response:
“In 2021, 167 Raw King Street LLC entered into a voluntary agreement with the U.S. Department ofLabor regarding its tip-pooling procedure. The Department of Labor found the process to be in conflictwith provisions of certain regulations.
A tip pool was established to include and compensate our team members who are integral to a positivedining experience at our restaurant. Before establishing the pool, we sought advice from legal counseland were told that it was legal and appropriate to do so. Months later, however, the Department ofLabor concluded that these procedures were in direct violation of certain federal guidelines. TheDepartment began a full investigation and determined that while we had not intentionally violated anyregulation, we had instead relied upon incorrect legal advice. The full details of this were disclosed toour team members and compensation was handled accordingly. We fully cooperated with theDepartment of Labor to establish new procedures within the Department’s guidelines and took thenecessary steps to correct the misallocation of tips. It is important to note that the owners of 167 RawKing Street LLC never shared in or participated in the former tip pool.
We continue to prioritize our team members and choosing to enter this voluntary agreement with theDepartment last year ensured that our valued team members continue to be well-compensated withinthe framework of evolving federal guidelines.”

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – City of Charleston officials are moving forward with their next steps in the multi-million dollar Ashley River Crossing project.
The first reading of moving forward with funding was approved during Tuesday’s Charleston City Council Meeting.
The city is now waiting for the federal government to approve the next steps with a one million dollar grant. Bicyclists in the area say they are excited to see connectivity for thousands of residents in the area to enjoy.
“This particular bridge is not only an important gap to address on its own, but it’s propelling all of these other connections to get into place,” says Katie Zimmerman, the Executive Director of Charleston Moves.
City of Charleston officials are moving forward with submitting plans to start designing and building the Ashley River Crossing project. Mayor John Tecklenburg says construction is expected to start early next year to create a greenway and paths linking the Upper Peninsula and West Ashley.
“We are really making incredible progress that’s why we are all excited. an important piece of this with the cost of living is making sure you have all the funding in place,” says Mayor Tecklenburg.
Zimmerman hasn’t owned a car in 16 years and her main mode of transportation is her bike. She crosses the bridge almost every day and says this project is needed to improve safety as sidewalks are very narrow.
“I do not drive I don’t own a car. Bicycling is the most efficient way for me to get across it. I don’t think motorists realize how close they actually are to those of us who are on that side path,” says Zimmerman.
The project is expected to provide pedestrian and bicycle paths that are 21 feet wide. Mayor Tecklenburg says will improve mobility for thousands of people, especially in the highly populated medical district.
“It is a mobility piece for our city and it’s going to take cars off the road. It will also provide a remarkable recreation and quality of life addition,” says Mayor Tecklenburg.
The projects are expected to cost around $41 million in total and city leaders expect the project to be completed by 2026.

Classroom Champions: History teacher wants supplemental books for students

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - History is the foundation of Austin Lassiter’s honors and AP classes at Charleston Charter school of Math and Science.
Lassiter has been teaching at the high school for 4 years and says he got the history bug after college. He says he hopes to pass the very same love on to every student he teaches.
“The best part of teaching the class is to see them really embrace learning and reading and it’s not just for the curriculum or that that for a lot of them it’s the first hard college class they have taken,” Lassiter says.
To supplement what he teaches and to help his students gain a better understanding of our country’s past Lassiter likes to add additional books to his lessons, anything from President Abraham Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg address to books on the Civil Rights Era.
For his Donors Choose project, Lassiter hopes to give his students a personal copy of the books they’re learning about and reading.
He says giving his 17 students a personal book to keep gives more value to the lesson and allows his students to focus in on areas of the subject that stand out for them.
But he says the books come with a price tag.
“Books are not cheap and they range from $10 to $40 each. Some are college or grad-level texts I used when I was in school. For them to be able to build their own libraries, it really means a lot to me, and it gives them an opportunity to annotate, highlight, and mark it up. It’s theirs to keep so they can take ownership,” Lassiter said.
Lassiter says the current book for his Donors Choose project is Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years 1963-65.
He says it’s a book that will help him teach more about the Civil Rights Era and help prepare his students for the AP College Board Exam at the end of the semester.
