Default which agent should I use???

Hi, Somebody PLEASE give me some good advice on choosing a decent agent. It really is a maze out there! I have approached 3 agents so far (all registered) but they have all given me different advice. I don't want to screw up my chances, so this is probably THE most important decision.

Can anyone recommend a good one?

Many thanks, in advance!!

Without doubt either George Lombard at www.austimmigration.com.au or Alan Collet/Glen Newton at gomatilda.com. All of the above have excellent reputations and post on here a lot. I wish we would have found this site before employing an agent. One thing that you must ensure is that they are registered.

Regards

Lucy

I agree with Lucyemma5.

George Lombard (we used him and he was great) and Alan Collett are definately the right people to approach for a solid honest answer if you are starting out on the process.

If they think you will not gain enough points they will tell you and they will be right. If however, you do score enough points then they will help you through the process.

Good luck

Talking Re: which agent should I use???

Hi Carruss

We are currently using George Lombard and can definatly recommend him. He is fantastic - he always replies to you emails quickly and is nothing but helpful. He knows exactly what he is talking about. We chose him through recommendations off this site. Alan Collett (Go Matilda) is also highly recommended on this site.

Good Luck!!!

Thumbs up Re: which agent should I use???

I also definately recommend George Lombard, we used him and visa has just been approved (many thanks George and team), fees are very very reasonable as well.
George gives honest advise and like already mentioned he will say whether you stand a chance or not. George is very efficent and when info is received from DIMIA you will always get an email through with a copy of scanned docs attached, and then the original is posted to you immediately after.
Very Pleased and well worth recommendation.

Well if it helps I have met George personally and can verify that he is not the "sleazy politician" type that the photograph on his web site would suggest! ;->
