Relocation Agents
Hi Folks,
Moving to Oz in March with the 2 kids and hubby and was wondering if anyone has used a relocation agent to help with school searches,suburb guides etc.
Seems like a good idea but is it a waste of money when I could probably do it myself?
Has any one any advice?I would be really greatful.
Thanks
Andrea

No advice - just some thoughts.
I suppose it depends on a number of factors!
1. Is your time or your money more important to you?
2. Do you have friends/relatives in Australia who can help?
3. Do you have previous experience of living in Australia (probably not if you're considering this)
4. Would you trust the opinion of a stranger about where to live and where to send your children to school?

Thanks for your reply.
We have no one in Oz and have never been to Brisbane.I have to say that my time is probably more important than money as I will be starting work quite soon after we arrive but we dont have loads of spare cash.
Not sure about the last question.It depends on how good they were and we would obviously want some choice,it just may help to narrow it down.Brisbane is pretty big!
still unsure as you can see!

Do you have the time to do your own research before you arrive in Brisbane or not really?
Could the lifetsyle forum here help enough?
