It is possible to get your rental sorted before you arrive. However, as others have said sight unseen is very risky as you may get left with a lemon and in many states is against the legislation. However, an alternative is a relocation agent. A relocation agent works for you rather than the real estate agent and can view many properties on your behalf reporting back on the reality via video, photos, chat etc. They can then organise the application and get you signed into a lease before you arrive so you can move straight in. A couple of good ones I can personally vouch for are opal relocations www.opalrelocations.com.au and elite executive services http://www.eliteexecutiveservices.com.au/mobile/index.php
