hi everyone

I was just thinking about how the lovely egg and I will arrange accommodation for when we arrive on the sunshine coast? okay, okay, I know it is only january and we are not gonna be there until june, but has anyone got any advice about any companies or agencies who let properties?

I don't know really what to look for
do people generally sort out short term rentals before going and then look for a long term rental, holiday apartments are another choice - I bet thats a bit expensive though
egg and I are willing to cut on the cost until we have had a gander around the different areas.
any advice would be great

Short term lease (Holiday apartment) is a very good idea for your initial arrival in Australia as all holiday appartments come completely furnished with all kitchen utensils supplied. In june you will be able to pick up some bargains as this is our winter and therefore not the busy season.

Whilst staying in the apartment, you will be able to look around the areas you may wish to settle in and get a feel for that area. This will give you a better idea than just surfing through real estate "glamour" over the internet. The internet will not show you the graffiti or car wrecks parked on the front of peoples houses.

Good luck with the move, I wish you well.

i will have a scout around.
I have read about the internet being somewhat misleading, but are you just pulling my leg about the other

hi julie

no we havent booked flights yet but chris is looking. we are unsure what way we want to do it to be honest, we quite fancy going to usa beforehand, but we'll see. chris was looking at emirates the other night. god, i didnt even think about booking flights, how bloody awful is that, it just goes to show that my head is in the clouds at the moment. we just really want to sell the house:curse::curse:
you never know, we could be heading over at the same time
I just keep looking around my house and thinking how the f*** am i gonna get rid of all this stuff
keep us updated with your progress
