Harbor Club: A Thriving Neighborhood In A Troubled Economy

Online, June 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - LAKE OCONEE, GA.- The real estate recession has taken its toll on the nation's builders, Realtors and developers. Coined 'troubled assets', luxury neighborhoods facing the possibility of foreclosure, stretch across the United States in record numbers. Yet, while many country clubs and golf communities scramble to raise money and while others aggressively look for buyers, Harbor Club, on the shores of Georgia's Lake Oconee, continues to thrive.

"We are 100% debt-free," says Brandon and John Matney, co-owners and developers of the expansive 700-family, golf/lake neighborhood. Debt-free developments, especially in today's murky real estate waters, are few and far between. At Harbor Club, being debt-free is just part of the reason residents have peace of mind. In fact, Matney says he is adding resident and Club Member benefits.

"We've purchased additional property to provide a Marina for our residents and we plan on adding 9 more golf holes in the not too distant future, " Matney said. But, that's not all. Harbor Club is on such solid financial footing, Matney is providing no-red-tape financing direct to buyers. "Many prospective property owners simply do not want the hassle of traditional bank financing, only to learn their financial source may not lend the money at all. It's very frustrating for the buyer," said Matney. Harbor Club provides financing on a variety of homesites-lake, golf and pond-at very attractive rates.

The community hugs the shores of Lake Oconee, one of Georgia's most beautiful waters, whose level is constant throughout the year. Just 90 minutes from bustling Atlanta, Harbor Club is situated on the historical Antebellum Trail that crosses through Georgia's most elegant small towns and plantations. Recognized as "one of the top golf course communities in the world" by LINKS Magazine, Harbor Club is now offering golfers a "Play Card", valued at $300, by visiting www.playharborclub.com. "The Play Card is free," explains Matney, "we hope people will use it to get a first hand view of our great course and our debt-free neighborhood."
