Ooba: Excellent Service! Highly Recommended!

A opportunity came up recently for me to satisfy one of my life ambitions. See, the open yard next to my parent's house came on the market. So, I Googled what I will need, printed it, and went to my local branch of Standard Bank. (With whom I've been banking since I was 6...) So I walk in, and this apparently disinterested employee calls me over for a consult. I know nothing about the process, and were hoping that "my bank" might be able to help out. My experience was that she either does not know anything about the process, or she takes glee from telling me that they will not help me. So, somewhat (and apparently) annoyed, I leave them, and head over to Nedbank. Where I at least find a lady that is willing to talk to me. She fills me in on a bunch of stuff, and gives me Nedbank forms. However, Nedbank wants to finance the land along with a building package. So, also not what I wanted... (At least she spoke to me like a human...) So, eventually, I follow up on "my" excellent Seeff agent's advice, and speak to Ooba. In A Day's Time, Elaine mails me back with two offers from two different banks. And, the next day, she sends me the third bank's offer that are willing to help me out. ALONG with a revised offer from Standard Bank for a lower rate! Honestly people, do not let the uninspired rank-and-file at Banks discourage you from realizing your dreams. (And also do not subject yourself to that...) Simply contact Ooba, and a enthusiastic, motivated, and helpful Ooba agent will call you back, and start working towards getting you on your way to owning property.
