Hi Just wandered pls if anyone works in Real Estate? If so, did you have experience/qualifications from UK please? Are part time positions possible? Are you on a salary plus commission pls? Adelaide area mainly interested, but thought would post generally, to see if i get replies. May have found part time work with UK estate agent, and just wandered if anyone is now working in Real Estate over in Oz?? Many thanks indeed for any input XX

Yep it is tricky one,, we did Adelaide 2010 to 2012, and REgret bitterly coming back to UK. I would dearly luv to return to Oz. Other half not so keen. I enjoyed the weather.. Although I did find it too hot and too predictable. tbh sometimes but made some lovely pals. I found it soo pricey,,, But I seriously cant hack the UK weather:( find people reserved n up tight, and just shouldn't have done it.. I did feel Homesick n me n other half had opposite opinions on stuff. Family think we should have stayed too I think:(!! that really gets me,, cos they know family moved to N Z and "doing well"?!! XXAnyway, I think counselling is brill option,, XX gd luck with decision, its mega tough,

Hi Jodipodi,, I am also v interested in this.. Many thanks.. Would love to come to Oz.. V lucky. have pr visa, have to use within 2 yrs,, son is nearly 7 and defo has Aspergers/AdhD I think..
