Thanks Mr Phong Vo and Octa Group for helping me with buying a land to build my first home. I have been through some challenges in the last 2 years and Phong was there to suggest different solutions. I appreciate his supports as I know that he didn’t only sell the package but also guide us to make the right decision. I was impressed with the care plan Phong and his team create for each customer to ensure the process goes smoothly. It’s really important when you have an issue and someone there to help you to solve it especially when buying your first house. I learnt a lot from Phong and his team. Highly recommended Octa Group.
