apartment search - help
I would appreciate some inputs on renting an apartment in Sydney. Should we contact the realestate agents before arrival to arrange the appointment, etc?
I've been surfing realestate.com.au and it's a pretty good site.
How long it normally takes to get the apartment? We would probably live in Hotel/Serviced Apartment before we can find a suitable one.
Thanks for all inputs.

Our experience of finding a place to rent is logged in the Renting / Leased accommodation in Aus therad
Personally, I don't think trying to contact agents before you arrive is worth the effort. By all means, make a list of those that seem to deal with the types of property and areas you're interested in, but the turnaround time is so quick and the procedures involved mean I don't think you'd get anywhere by looking before you arrived.

It is better to sort out when you're here but in case you want to keep browsing to figure out areas etc you can also look at http://www.domain.com.au and http://www.justlisted.com.au
