Classic Home Mortgage Providing Trustworthy Mortgage Guidance for Over 30 Years
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. Since market conditions and mortgage programs change frequently, you have a lot riding on your broker's ability to provide quick and accurate financial advice. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or own several residential properties, you need a mortgage broker in Easley, SC, who can educate you on mortgage rates and provide trustworthy guidance to help you make an informed decision.
My name is Dan Crance - Easley's most trusted mortgage loan officer with more than 30 years in the mortgage industry. I bring unparalleled insight and decades of experience into your home loan process. If you're looking for a new home loan, are interested in refinancing your current mortgage, or need information regarding FHA, VA, or other types of loans, Dan Crance is Your Mortgage Man.
Unlike some mortgage loan officers in Easley, my primary goal is to help you make the right mortgage choice for you and your family.

I'm here to help answer those questions and provide you with easy-to-understand advice so that you can rest easy knowing you made the right choice. I could say that I strive to provide service that exceeds your expectations, but I'd rather show you.

Why Choose Dan Crance As Your Mortgage Lender in Easley, 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
Easley, 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 Easley, 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.

Hagood Mill Historic Site, Neighbor
- Sat, Nov 16, 2024 at 10:00 AM
- Hagood Mill Historic Site, 138 Hagood Mill Rd, Pickens, SC, 29671
Every November the Hagood Mill Historic Site observes Native American Heritage Month by holding the Native American Celebration. This beloved third weekend event is also called Selugadu. Selugadu translates into cornbread (Selu, meaning corn and gadu, meaning bread) in the Tsalagi Gawonihisdi (Cherokee) language. This celebration of cornbread is a Harvest Festival. November is the time of year when Native Americans reaped the harvest of corn. Across the Americas the first people developed over 250 varieties of corn. Corn was an essential crop in Native American life and came to be in colonial life as well.
The Native American Celebration at the Hagood Mill Historic Site will give thanks to, and honor the first people of these lands, for the food traditions and customs that have influenced southern Appalachian life for hundreds of years. On Saturday, November 16th many people from various tribal groups will come together to share the customs and traditions that have been practiced since ancient times and continue through present day at the picturesque Hagood Mill Historic Site in Pickens, SC.
Saturday’s event kicks off at 10 am and runs until 4 pm. The typical third Saturday activities, including the operation of the 1845 Hagood Grist Mill, living history demonstrations and a cherry-picked group of vendors will be taking place. Visitors and guest performers will participate in the festivities of the day which will include Native American traditional drumming, singing, dancing, flute playing, storytelling, Cherokee hymns in the Tsalagi Gawonihisdi language, and traditional crafts and demonstrations. Performers include storyteller and basket maker Nancy Basket, from Walhalla, SC; the Catawba Nation Drums; Keepers of the Word; Paul Snowcloud, flute player; Michael Hartje, flint knapping demonstrator, Sonny Ledford, Cultural Ambassador for the Eastern Band of Cherokee, and many more.
While on site check out “Our Native Roots: An Interpretive Trail”. The interpretive trail takes visitors along the Old Indian Path, which is an ancient trading path that took the Native Americans from the Mississippi coast and traveled up through the Eastern Continental Divide to Virginia. The interpretive trail features a dugout canoe demonstration which uses fire as a tool along with stone chisels to burn and shape a tree into a useful floating vessel, a river cane restoration area, a sacred fire circle for all to experience on this special day, a medicine wheel garden, a corn garden, a mortar and pestle for grinding corn, a prehistoric stone mortar, an archaeology adventure for kids, the Paul West artifact collection, and the petroglyphs that were made in prehistoric times. All these things and more will be on display during this year’s Native American Celebration.
Make a weekend of the event and reserve your camping space as well!
Primitive camping will be available Friday and Saturday nights-- $10/person for the weekend. Limit 6 people per site. Car and RV spaces are limited, so register online soon. Folks with loud generators will be asked not to use them during special events.

Visiting the Upstate Holiday Light Show at District Park
In 2023, the Upstate Holiday Light Show moved to its new location at District Park. Though the light show is no longer at the Greenville Pickens Speedway, the location at District Park in Easley will bring the same spectacular experience that your family will love.
You’ll want to tune your radio to the correct FM station for the accompanying holiday music because the show is synchronized. The lights dance to an ongoing playlist of classic and new Christmas carols. The radio station to tune into is 106.5 FM. The song list includes lots of classics, including “Deck the Halls”, ” Carol of the Bells” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” along with a variety of other Christmas and holiday-themed songs.
Admission is based on vehicle type/capacity, not the number of passengers. So going on your own is the same as a minivan full of kids. Large passenger vans and buses are extra. Carpooling is encouraged to save on costs per person. You can buy tickets in advance.
After you enter the park, you’ll be asked to turn off your headlights. You’ll pass by many static and animated light displays before coming to the light tunnel, which is a real treat! You’ll want to go through this part slowly, so you can catch some of the fun changes.
This show is great but momentarily dims or explodes in brightness depending on the dramatics of the music. The sheer variety of colors and movement was astonishing. Resist thinking it’s not impressive if you just saw a few low lights in passing. The full brilliance of this display is only seen if watched for at least one or two songs, if not the whole playlist, which lasts about 30 minutes. You’ll want to squeeze it into your holiday plans. It was a great way for my family to kick off the season.
After you leave the light tunnel, you’ll come across a humongous light display board that is really fun watching synch up to the music. You’ll then head around the corner and find the open field that has several large trees, and a couple of trees that like to chat to each other (you’ll see what I mean), all set to the backdrop of the display board. This is where you can drive around the circle as many times as you want.
The radio music synchs up perfectly, and we drove slowly around the track four times before exiting off and pulling into the parking spots that let you watch while parked. This was our favorite part of the entire show! My young daughters loved watching the two trees that talked to each other, which was silly and had us giggling.
Upstate Holiday Lights Show also has a Winter Wonderland you can visit toward the end of the light show. The wonderland has small carnival rides and a petting zoo, with animals like mini horses, cows, ducks, rabbits, and donkeys. There is also a poney corral your kids can enjoy.
The best part was the open space where you could walk in to meet the goats. The goats were hilarious and very friendly, though I do recommend holding younger kids so they do not get bombarded. They also may nibble on your clothes, so be gentle when you move them away.
The Winter Wonderland is included in the ticket price, and you can interact with the animals for free, or pay $5 at the light show entrance for a bag of feed. The carnival rides range between 3 and 4 tickets, and you can purchase 20 tickets for $20.
