Why You Should Use a Relocation Agent

Moving to a new country is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. We know how stressful it can be, with so much to organise in such a short amount of time. The process of relocating internationally involves numerous logistics, visa requirements, cultural differences, rules and regulations, which can quickly become overwhelming. From securing a rental property to coordinating deliveries and connecting utilities, there are so many moving parts involved in a successful relocation. This is where a relocation agent can make all the difference – providing expert guidance, local knowledge, and hands-on support to ensure a smooth transition. With the right help, you can secure a rental before you arrive, avoid costly mistakes, and focus on settling into your new home with confidence.

Secure a rental property before you arrive

One of the biggest challenges expats face is securing a rental property in Australia. The country is experiencing a major housing shortage, and the competition for rental properties is intense, especially in major cities. Rental listings require an in-person inspection, making it nearly impossible to secure a lease before arrival. Meanwhile, temporary accommodation options such as hotels and Airbnbs are exorbitantly expensive, often costing $300-400 per night, which can add up quickly. By working with us, you can secure a rental property before arriving in Australia, aligning your lease start date with your move date, saving you thousands on temporary accommodation expenses. 

Almost all real estate agents will not submit an application for a property if you, or a third-party acting on your behalf, have not inspected the property due to the inherent risks involved. This is due to the inherent risk involved – unlike a sales contract, a lease is not final, and a tenant who leases a property ‘sight unseen’ may break the lease due to unmet expectations. To avoid this issue and be able to secure a rental property from off-shore, you can work with a relocation agent, such as us, to source and inspect properties on your behalf before you arrive in your new city. Many real estate agents actually prefer working with relocation agents because they help streamline the process, ensuring that applications come from serious, well-vetted tenants. 

At Relocation Services Australia, we have long-established relationships with real estate agents who trust our process, making it easier for them to approve leases with confidence. They know we provide our clients with comprehensive photos, videos, and honest feedback on each property before submitting an application. We often receive early access to properties and, in many cases, agents put in a good word for us with landlords. When you work with us, your rental application is backed by our trusted reputation.

When relocating from overseas, you’ll also be competing against Australian applicants who have an Australian rental history and, often, a dual income. We know exactly how to optimise your rental application, craft a compelling cover letter, and compile supporting documentation to maximise your chances of securing your preferred home. That’s why having a relocation agent in your corner makes all the difference.


Knowledge and expertise

Relocation consultants are experts in their field, with extensive knowledge of the intricacies involved in moving to Australia. We are well-versed in the country’s customs and regulations and can provide valuable guidance on everything from visa requirements and employment to the housing market and settling into your new city.

Australia’s major cities are vast and diverse, with each suburb offering its own unique lifestyle. Without firsthand experience, it can be difficult to determine which area best suits your needs. Our consultants use their deep local knowledge to guide you to the right suburb based on factors such as your budget, lifestyle preferences, commute, transport access, and school catchments. We also provide market insights to ensure you’re not overpaying for a property and conduct thorough due diligence on public transport, local amenities, and the property itself before arranging inspections. This helps filter out less suitable options, ensuring you get it right the first time and settle in an area and home that truly fits your needs.

Beyond housing, we assist with setting up bank accounts, obtaining a tax file number, connecting utilities, and understanding local services. This comprehensive support allows for a smoother transition so you can focus on settling in.


Save time, money and stress

Researching suburbs, rental prices, coordinating service providers, and handling the paperwork for an international relocation is incredibly time-consuming. A relocation agent already has this knowledge and can streamline the process, saving you countless hours of searching and uncertainty. We also help you avoid common mistakes that could delay your move.

Without a secured rental before arrival, many expats spend weeks or even months in costly short-term accommodation. By working with us, we can secure your long-term rental in advance, saving you thousands in temporary housing expenses. Our home search service is a no-brainer if you want to minimise relocation costs and move seamlessly into your new home.


Personalised support with the entire moving process

Every relocation is unique, with different requirements and challenges. Our relocation consultants provide tailored services based on your budget, timeline, and specific needs. We also have a vast network of trusted professionals – including moving companies, pet transfer specialists, and immigration attorneys – to ensure every aspect of your move is handled smoothly.

Moving internationally can be overwhelming, especially if you are relocating to a country where you don’t know anyone and are unfamiliar with the rules, regulations, and customs. We provide expert guidance and much-needed support throughout the process, making your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible. With us in your corner, you can feel confident that every detail of your move is being taken care of by professionals who genuinely understand the challenges of international relocation.

How it works:

  • Step One – Submit Your Enquiry

    Submit your enquiry for your relocation here. We will be in touch with you to discuss your needs and send you a proposal.

  • Step Two – Discovery Call

    We’ll start by meeting on a Discovery Call over zoom to discuss your plans for your move, and your preferences for your new home. We’ll deep dive into your budget, lifestyle preferences, commute to work, access to transport and facilities, school catchment zones, and any other specific requirements you may have. We’ll make recommendations for certain suburbs we think would suit you, discuss your must-haves and likes-to-haves, whilst giving you insight into what’s available on the market at the time of your move.

  • Step Three – Shortlist of Suitable Properties

    Next, we’ll handpick a selection of suitable properties for you alongside providing comprehensive due diligence regarding public transport accessibility, school catchments, local amenities, as well as the property itself. We’ll help you weed out the good from the bad before arranging inspections.

  • Step Four – Inspections & Virtual Tours

    We will then attend inspections of up to eight of these properties on your behalf, providing you with photographs, videos, measurements, and comprehensive, honest feedback you won't be able to see from the advertisement (such as construction noise, natural light and traffic).

  • Step 5 – Apply & Mediate

    Once you’ve selected which properties you’d like to apply for, we will collate all the necessary documentation and paperwork and submit the application on your behalf. We’ll also assist you with writing a compelling cover letter and compiling your supporting documents to ensure you have the best possible chance of being approved. We will also mediate with agents on your behalf to give you the best possible chance of securing the property you want. We maintain strong working relationships with local real estate agents to ensure we are kept up-to-date with the latest listings and are given early access to properties which are yet to be marketed.

  • Step 6 – Secure Your Home

    Once approved, we will assist you with lodging your bond, check your lease agreement for anomalies, assist you on how to complete the Entry Condition Report and the property handover. We will also arrange to have your utilities connected for the day you move in.

    By working with us, you can skip the hassle of house hunting and temporary accommodation and move straight into a home that suits your needs from day one.
