Introducing the first fully integrated bond prequalification and home loan application facility powered by ooba
As technology continues to drive the way people purchase, research and invest in commodity products, a corresponding shift in the real estate market is emerging, and as this sector evolves, PropertyMatcher is positioned to be a leading property search portal within South Africa.
PropertyMatcher is proud to announce its partnership with ooba, the leading bond origination company in South Africa. The PropertyMatcher website has been geared toward improving the customer experience through in-depth research and analysis of the local and international property market.
With PropertyMatcher, potential buyers can now conduct a free self-service bond prequalification application from within the system by simply registering a free profile. This includes a free credit check, and the ability to get free expert assistance without obligation or you can use the available ooba calculators to get an indication of your financial affordability. This will ultimately guide you on affordability even before the perfect home has been found and by submitting the prequalification from the user profile. This not only makes the journey more personal, but leads to a well-informed buyer.
By registering on the PropertyMatcher website, users get access to a number of additional features which assist them with the home buying process, adding value to their overall experience.
“ooba offers significant value to PropertyMatcher through the integration of its calculators and especially the ooba online and consultant based prequalification tools. All ooba tools are combined into a digital Customer Relationship Module process to educate and hold the customer’s hand throughout the home buying journey, to ensure a superior customer service proposition for PropertyMatcher users (buyers and agents) by converting applications into approved home loans.” says ooba’s Chief Executive Officer, Rhys Dyer
