IIEN Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi we are planning a move to Melbourne April 2019 to Bayside area. We will do AIRBNB for the first month until our stuff arrives from UK. Can anyone recommend a good real estate agent in that area ?. We have been looking on https://www.realestate.com.au. Is there perhaps a decent company/service we can use that would help us with the process of finding home and schools ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean you're looking for a real estate agent who who'll find properties for you to look at, there's no such thing in Melbourne. Real estate agents work for the seller, not the buyer. Here, you just have to keep an eye on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au and trudge round the "open for inspections" on Saturdays. Almost all property is advertised on one of those two sites. Gone are the days of dropping into a local office to find out what's available, or searching the newspaper. If you need help to buy a property, then Google "buyer's agent" or "buyer's advocate". If you need help to find a rental property, you could try http://melbournerentalsearch.com/ If you want help with those things plus schools, then you need a relocation service.

bayside Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) If you make a free account on https://www.microburbs.com.au/ you can use the site to become more familiar with the area based on various scores including travel/convenience, tranquility, family friendly and affluence. This should assist you in researching suburbs. In the Life in Australia > Education forum on this website you can learn about the best schools and everything education related.
