C. Marshall Carithers was born and raised in Anderson, S.C. where he attended Anderson Boys High School. A natural athlete, he lettered in football, basketball, and track holding records in both low and high hurdles for a number of years beyond graduation. He attended the University of Georgia and Clemson University as well. After a stint in the Air Force, he was hired by Abney Mills as home base to be the Assistant Purchasing Director for 25 textile plants.

After a number of years in the textile industry, Marshall decided to start a business of his own. Being both a people person and a self starter, he chose real estate, so he founded Carithers Real Estate Company in 1971. What started as primarily a Residential Company has expanded into Commercial and Industrial Development as well as Residential Development. In fact, Carithers Real Estate has been instrumental in promoting and supporting the economic growth and development of both the City of Anderson and Anderson County as a whole through recruiting commercial and industrial prospects.

Some tenants that Marshall and Carithers Real Estate has developed are for CVS, Rite Aid, and Eckerd’s drug stores, Lowes, Burger King, KFC, Summit Home Health Care, various physician’s offices, U.S. and State Government buildings, Retail and Destination Shopping Centers, Residential Subdivisions, as well as Commercial and Industrial Developments.

Through the years, Marshall has established a reputation in the community for honesty, hard work, integrity, and a spirit of generosity. As someone who came from humble beginnings, Marshall strongly believes in giving back to the community. He has been a member of various organizations including the Anderson Sertoma Club, Foothills United Way, the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce, and the AnMed Foundation Development Board and the Fred Foundation Board. Carithers Real Estate has been a corporate sponsor for Meals on Wheels, the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, the Anderson Recreation Center’s Youth Baseball Team Program, and the Shalom House center for battered women and substance abusers. He has also been very active in fundraising for AnMed’s Pediatric Therapy Works.

He is the father of a son and daughter, Michael and Denise, and the grandfather of eight.
