2011-03-15T12:40:00.000-07:00

Are you a veteran?

Do you know what benefits you are entitled to and where to go to get them?

Many veterans are entitled to receive benefits for their service and sacrifice to their nation, regardless of the amount of time they spent in the military. Your benefits are available not only from the U.S. Government, but many States also offer additional tax, education, and other benefits that you may not be aware exist. Such benefits can take many forms, including Health Care, Financial, Education, Insurance, Jobs, Vocational Training, Housing, Disability, Burial, and Assistance to Homeless Veterans, Assistance is also available to you from many sources, including County Service Officers in each state, as well as National Service Officers funded and provided by the many Veteran Service Organizations. Often these offices are collocated with the major VA Medical Centers or within you local county executive offices. These Service Officers will sit down with you and help you to apply for your entitlements.

Remember – Until you ask, the answer is always NO! To help you understand better what benefits you are entitled to and where to go to get them, there are a wide variety of resources available on the internet. The following are but a few of the many resources available to you. Do yourself a favor and learn about your entitlements:

With superlative vocals and musicianship, dynamic enthusiasm and genuine love of music they perform, The Bronx Wanderers recreated the magic of the era and built an energetic bond with the audience. The club was dancing, singing, hand clapping and toe-tapping all night. Delicious beef tenderloin was served along with homemade Maryland crab cakes and for dessert, New York style cheesecake. In attendance was Harbor Hills Country Club members Vic and Janice Johnson, who just built a beautiful custom made home in the Bella Vista section. They said, “We are having the times of our lives,”!

Bern's Steak House

2011-02-13T09:31:00.000-08:00

We all remember the movie, Goodfellas, which was a 1990 American Gangsta movie about wiseguy’s. The film begins with a pivotal night-time scene that introduces the film's three major characters. It is a major turning point for each of them. Three organized crime mobsters are in a white-top car cruising down a freeway. An inter-title notes the location and time: New York, 1970:
• Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) - the driver
• Jimmy Conway (Robert DeNiro) - in the passenger's seat
• Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) - in the back seat

While these guys pictured above nowhere near Gangsta status they did have a good time out the other night. There first stop was at a local horse track Tampa Bay Downs and continued at World Famous Bern’s Steak House.

Harbor Hills Country Club President Michael Rich along with Harbor Hills Country Club members Tom Harper, George Schwartz and Geo Mayer indulged in fine aged beef and a nice bottle of vino. Bern’s Steak House has been around since the 1950’s when Bern Laxer opened the restaurant. It is known for their vast wine selection and perfectly aged steaks. After dinner they relaxed upstairs in a private booth with a Bern’s signature dessert and fine after-dinner spirits.
It doesn't get any better than this.

Large Mouth Bass Caught at Harbor Hills Country Club

2011-02-11T17:30:00.000-08:00

In just a few short weeks the Sunshine Showdown will hit the Lake Harris Chain and the best of The Elite Series of The Bassmasters tour will be looking for that ever so popular largemouth bass.

Double Pane Low E Windows are included on all new homes at Harbor Hills

2011-02-02T08:25:00.000-08:00

Low E Windows are a standard feature on all new homes at Harbor Hills Country Club. In the Florida climate UV rays and and heat can be oppressive and put a heavy burden on air conditioning systems. E stands for emissivity. The low E glass reflects heat back to its source. It does this by utilizing an ultra thin metallic coating on or in the glass. UV or ultraviolet light causes damage to your skin, wood, fabrics, and causes colors to fade. Infrared light (IR) is basically heat. So the Low E glass allows the visible light to pass into the home while blocking a certain amount of UV and IR light.

The infrared light in sunlight is powerful. When it strikes an object it heats it up. These objects can be your tile floors, furniture, sidewalks, patio furniture, etc. As these objects cool off, they emit a low powered form of IR light. Low E glass reflects this form of energy. In the summer this helps to keep your house cooler, as the heat from objects outside is kept outside. In the winter, all objects in your home are heated (by either the sun or your furnace). This heat is also bounced back into your house by the low E glass.

While the cost can seem prohibitive to many homebuilders we feel that it is the right thing to do to ensure the best quality for our homeowners. Not only will it protect our homeowners furniture, carpet, drapes, etc but it will also ensure that energy bills are moderate.

2010-10-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

Major League Baseball Great Johnny Bench to Visit Munroe Regional Medical Center Bench will also participate in a special joint replacement educational presentation.

Ocala, Fla. (October 18, 2010) — Munroe Regional is pleased to announce that Major League Baseball Hall of Fame legend Johnny Bench will be at the medical center on Thursday, October 28, 2010 from 11 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. to tour the Munroe Orthopedics program and visit with patients at the medical center.

Following his visit to Munroe, Mr. Bench will participate in a special joint replacement educational presentation at Harbor Hills Golf and Country Club, located at 6538 Lake Griffin Road, Lady Lake. He will join Munroe Orthopedics surgeons, Dr. Derek Farr and Dr. Nirav Gupta of Twin Palm Orthopedics, in discussing the benefits of joint replacement surgery. The presentation will begin at 12:45 p.m. Pre-registration is required to attend this free event, as seating is limited. Interested individuals call register by calling Munroe’s Health Resource Line at 352.867.8181.

Johnny Bench underwent total hip replacement of his right hip in April of 2004 after suffering for years from chronic joint pain. He discussed his options with his surgeon and received a Stryker hip implant. After undergoing the procedure, Bench was able to realize his lifestyle recovery goals and get back to his active life without hip pain. Since then, he has shared his joint replacement experience with attendees at Stryker educational seminars throughout the United States.

When he began experiencing pain in his left hip, Bench knew not to wait until he was sidelined by the pain before seeking help. He knew first-hand the relief his successful hip replacement in 2004 brought him and elected to undergo total hip replacement of his left hip in February 2010.

Just as he had in 2004, Bench spoke with his surgeon and opted to receive the latest technology available from Stryker. Johnny was the first patient to receive Stryker’s Mobile Bearing Hip™. Its unique anatomic design and technology offers patients like Bench the potential for increased stability, range of motion1,2,3,4,5 and a greater resistance to wear6.

Fully recovered, Bench splits his time between Naples and Palm Springs with his wife Lauren and their two young sons, Justin and Joshua, while his oldest son Bobby attends Boston University. Bench also continues to perfect his golf game and travel across the U.S. sharing his experience with arthritis and joint replacement with joint pain sufferers on behalf of Stryker Orthopaedics.

WAY TO GO HARBOR HILLERS

2010-06-30T09:14:00.000-07:00

I received the below letter with a request to share it with the community. Harbor Hills truly is a special place.

"WAY TO GO HARBOR HILLERS"

A neighbor and friend was recently in need of help in getting transported from here to various treatment appointments. I was fortunate to discover her need and knew, "together" we could solve her problem. Everyone responded with joy and pleasure to resolve this dilemma. Together, we provided twelve consecutive days of transportation for treatment, with four more to be completed by the 9th of July.

This was a wonderful experience for all involved, especially the recipient who has now "caught up" on the latest HH News and renewed old friendships, even finding someone new.

The best of it all is that her treatment has had a positive result. Thank You, to those who made the effort and also to those who waited in "stand-by" as the need developed.

The "victim" is worried about showing her gratitude, however I reminded her that each act is considered a "corporal work of mercy" and all who participated have received a special Blessing for their involvment.

God Bless All.

Harbor Hills Golf Pro Brady Godfrey With Tip of the Month

2010-04-14T08:27:00.001-07:00

Putting has been acknowledged as "a game within a game," and it is a great equalizer in a game that would otherwise be dominated by the strong and mechanical. If you don't putt well, you don't play well.

There is an old adage that states, "The best way to putt is the way you putt best." Putting is unique in that it is individual and there are many varied styles, however all good putters apply the following technique:

Use An Accelerating Stroke:
A lot of pressure putts are missed because the player decelerates through the ball, resulting in a weak stroke that barely has a chance of making it to the hole, let along going in.

If you are victimized by this, concentrate on one thing the next time you face an especially important putt:

Keep both hands moving smoothly through the ball and down the target line on the forward stroke. In doing so, you will make a more confident pass at it and will at least give the putt a chance of going in by getting it up to the hole.

Harbor Hills Golf & Country Club offers professional lessons that will help you improve your game for the upcoming season. Contact the golf professionals at our pro shop to inquire about private lessons. Harbor Hills golf professionals can help improve your over all game or focus on a specific area of play. Contact our pro-shop for more details or to schedule your next tee time.

Harbor Hills Development Guides Clients Through Homebuilding Experience

2010-04-01T10:16:00.000-07:00

Building a home is not just about selecting the right location and picking the perfect floor plan. It is a journey that without the right guidance can become riddled with stress & runaway budgets. Harbor Hills Development’s General Partner, Michael Rich, has over 40 years of experience in Florida real estate development and believes in a team approach to each home he builds. Mike, also a licensed real estate broker, steers the teams in business decisions, real estate, design, financing and client sales.

“There are so many details to cover when building homes of this caliber that you really have to break down the process. We find this the best way to build the home our customers want in a way that doesn’t overwhelm or frustrate them,” said Mike. “We have a flexible but structured process that makes our buyers feel more at ease.” Guiding this process are Harbor Hills’ four most important principals; communication, organization, personal attention & integrity.

Every member of the Harbor Hills team is committed to these principals and the focus is on customer satisfaction and quality of workmanship. Mike depends on his two sons, Sean & Adam, to head up the sales team and show new clients the type of lifestyle & home that can be expected in this unique golf course & lakeside gated community.

“Activity has really picked up here,” said Sean, who also lives in the community with his young family. “We are seeing about 50 new faces a week in our sales center.” Sean & Adam are more than just experts on Harbor Hills Golf & Country Club; they are ambassadors of the community. You might see Sean, getting golf tips from a group of members or Adam fixing a resident’s computer. And on Wednesdays, at the members’ weekly buffet, you are sure to see all three, Mike, Sean & Adam, sharing a meal with friends & neighbors. “Meals are a big thing around here,” laughs Adam. “We meet nearly everyday for lunch at the clubhouse restaurant. It keeps us involved in the community as well as the business. With us, it’s really one in the same. Keep the community strong and the business prospers.”

Harbor Hills Development makes their smaller size work to the advantage of their customers. “The fact that we are a smaller company means that we are in constant contact with each other & our customers. It allows us to work with our customers in a way that larger builders just can’t.” said Mike. “We have every aspect of the building process covered. Kyle Snyder handles construction, Angela Rogers handles design and Kim Smith makes sure the project stays on track and in budget. We all work together and most importantly we all work with the customer.”

Duane & Margo Gawron, new residents in the Exclusive Bella Vista community agree. “There was really no comparison,” Duane says with Margo agreeing whole heartedly. “We had a rural setting with absolutely no congestion. The hills were there. The trees were there. And we had a vista of Lake Griffin on top of it all.”

Still, construction integrity and the ability to design the home the way they wanted it were just as important to Duane and Margo as location and community. “Special and quality – that’s what we wanted and Mike Rich and Kyle Snyder gave us what we asked for and then some.” This is not the first custom home The Gawron’s have built. In fact, it’s their fifth. “It can be testing,” Duane says of the building process. “But with these guys and all the people who worked with us, the level of anxiety was definitely low, and actually quite pleasant.”

Kyle, Director of Construction and Harbor Hills’ contractor maintains the integrity of the construction standards. “I’ve worked with the big corporate builders, and their system is simply not set up to build the type of personal relationships we develop with our client’s here.” said Kyle. “The customer and the quality of our homes are always kept at the forefront of any project.” Kyle personally conducts both a framing walk thru and closing walk thru with each client, and usually a few more in between. He carefully walks buyers through their home pointing out areas of significance and answering any questions on construction.

As far as what goes into the homes, Angela Rogers, Harbor Hills Design Coordinator, helps to guide buyers through the endless sea of design ideas and choices. Buyers are able to select every aspect of the home from countertops to cabinet layouts; to paint colors and flooring selections. Harbor Hills works with clients until they get the buyers distinct styles and selections incorporated into the home. “At that point, the house really becomes theirs,” said Angela. “Our clients already have strong ties to the home; but it’s great to see the emotional attachments begin to form.”

Harbor Hills commitment to personal attention goes beyond just having the client select countertops and cabinet. Customers are guided through the complete process whether they select one of Harbor Hills fifteen model home plans or the custom home of their dreams. The architect is consulted, floor plans are often modified to suit particular clients needs, the electrical plans are modified and everything is reviewed. “We are always customizing our homes to meet clients’ needs and keep up with the ever changing market conditions & latest design trends.” said Mike.

Kim Smith, Harbor Hills Construction Manager, makes a final review of the blueprints with the buyer and the home is ready to permit. “We don’t really ever build the same home twice.” said Kim. “Each one is its own special project.”

Simply stated, this gated golf course community is special. Nestled among the hills that overlook Lake Griffin, it is a place people want to live. Harbor Hills doesn’t just offer a great home on a great lot, it caters to each individual and offers a lifestyle that people want.
“The relationships we build with our customers don’t stop when the home is finished. They become part of the community and we see them at lunch, sit with them at dinner shows, play golf or tennis with them. For me, that is really the best part, said Mike. “All the work we put into our homes really only depends on two simple things: We want their homes to be better than they even imagined and we want their lives to be enriched by where they live. That’s how high we aim.”

The first part of our New Bella Vista private enclave is now developed and we have delivered our First Homes. Several other homes are under construction. Several more homes are about to be started including a New Model the Arrezzo. Stop by the Clubhouse for information
Bella Vista is an enclave of vast vistas and rolling hills nestled in a naturally secluded community that is the ideal location to build the custom home of your dreams. Many of the home sites in Bella Vista at Harbor Hills feature fabulous golf course views. A limited number of the most pristine home sites remain, please call for complete details. Our custom team is ready to guide you through the steps to finding the perfect home site and floor plan to build the home of your dreams:
THE LAND - We will be happy to give you a private tour of all of the available home sites to help you choose the perfect site based on views and the type of home you want to build.

Buyer Beware
Short sales and foreclosures may not be such bargains after all. by Glen Shirley

There’s no question that prices on foreclosures and short sales sound attractive.
Increasingly, however, buyers are becoming disillusioned by the lengthy and convoluted process required to finance such purchases and by expensive and unanticipated repair costs caused by neglect and outright vandalism. There are many reasons to buy a new home versus a foreclosure or a short sale, say experts. First, new homes are protected by warranties, meaning there’ll be no unpleasant surprises in case flaws are discovered in workmanship or mechanical systems. By law, conventional sales on new or resale homes require full disclosure of any problems with the property and the seller can be held liable if a problem arises as a result of an issue that wasn’t fully disclosed at the time of the sale.
With foreclosures, however, it’s always a “buyer beware” situation. When you buy a foreclosed home, you have no recourse against the seller if there are construction defects, environmental hazards or problems of any kind. The fact is, many owners stop caring for their homes when they realize that foreclosure is imminent. Others go so far as to damage their homes before vacating.

While blatant damage is easy to see, other less obvious problems, such as mildew, can arise when a home sits vacant for a long period of time and is not maintained. And the buyer is responsible for repairs. “I looked at a lot of foreclosures,” says Nicole, a 27-year-old first-time buyer who asked that her last name not be used. “The condition on most of them was just horrible. Cabinets were stripped off the walls. Fixtures were gone. Once you factored in the cost of repairs, it just wasn’t worth it.” In addition to the investment required to make a neglected home habitable, the price of a foreclosure can be pushed up by multiple offers.

Increasingly, buying and selling foreclosures is becoming the province of professional investors, not people who actually intend to occupy the homes. That means the price at which a property sells is often significantly higher than the price at which it was offered. And banks will insist that repairs be made as a condition of obtaining a mortgage loan. If these costs are included in the loan amount, you could find yourself paying as much for a damaged home as you would have paid for a comparable new home in pristine condition.
Short sales are different from foreclosures, but they have their own set of challenges. A short sale occurs when a homeowner who wants to avoid bankruptcy or foreclosure gains lender approval to sell his or her home for less than they owe. In such cases, the lender calls the shots. Even if the owner accepts your offer, obtaining lender approval is a time-consuming process that can take several months. So short sales require time, patience and may result in disappointment since lenders frequently reject offers that are below market value. Still, new-home builders have responded to the competitive challenge that foreclosures and short sales represent. Many offer incentives such as below-market financing or help with closing costs, which can save thousands of dollars and make it easier to qualify. Plus, in addition to warranties, new homes are equipped with the latest leading-edge technology in terms of energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. And because you’re purchasing directly from the builder, closings can take place quickly. Of course, the ultimate benefit of buying new is having the opportunity to make the home truly yours. In many cases you’ll be able to customize your home, selecting items such as cabinetry, countertops, and flooring. Rather than making due with someone else’s choices, you have the advantage of living in a home and a neighborhood that truly reflects your taste, lifestyle and personality. The reality is it’s a great time to buy a new home. Prices are down, interest rates are extremely attractive and the selection of available homes couldn’t be better. If you’re a risk-taker or an investor, a foreclosure or even a short sale could be right for you. But for most people, when making an investment as significant as a home purchase, the bottom line is peace of mind.

The Harbor Hills Country Club development team was proud to be chosen to build this Central Florida Custom Luxury Golf Home. This beautiful new masterpiece was first envisioned and hand drawn by its proud new homeowners. They chose Bella Vista at Harbor Hills for its beautiful scenery featuring oak tree lined streets and its elevated views of our award winning championship golf course all within a private gated country club community.
