Welcome To Anderson County
Nestled at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains with unparalleled natural beauty including its lakes, rivers and four distinct seasons, Anderson is a great place to call home. Anderson was named for Revolutionary War hero General Robert Anderson. He came to the area in the mid 1700’s with his friend, Andrew Pickens, to survey land given to the Colony by the Indians. Anderson has a long proud history from its pioneering days of small Scots-Irish and English farmers to today’s thriving community. Industrialization of Anderson began in the late 1800’s with the arrival of cotton mills. Textiles remained a major force in Anderson throughout the 1900’s and to the present day. In the 1950’s, however, non-textile companies also began moving into the area and today Anderson has a large variety of industry including automotive, electronics, automatic machinery, appliances, rubber products, plastics, and chemicals as well as textiles. Anderson is conveniently located on the Interstate 85 corridor half way between Atlanta and Charlotte. The I-85 corridor is known as one of the nation’s hottest growth areas. Anderson offers a small-town feel with diverse recreational opportunities and the attractions of larger cities only a short drive away. With its rich history and interesting future, Anderson is an exciting place to live and work.

About Appraisals >Refinancing Your Home
Interest rates fluctuate as changes occur in the general economy. If you purchased your home when interest rates were higher, you may want to consider re-financing your loan at a lower rate.
You will have to apply for the new mortgage and have your current income eligibility assessed. Depending on how long you have had your present loan, a current appraisal may be required. There are closing costs, such as attorney, title fees, recording and notary fees, and appraisal charges. The biggest factor in your decision should be the length of time you plan to remain in your home. If you will be there for only a year or two more, it might not pay to re-finance. If you will be in your home longer, re-financing could provide you with lower mortgage payments. Your real estate agent can help you work out the numbers and can refer you to reputable home appraisers and mortgage lenders.
