An initial telephone or email “interview” will take place. This information is critical in our developing the appropriate service for you.
After receiving your details, we will begin making appointments, inquiries or arrangements on your behalf. Regular communication is guaranteed and you will be advised of all activities and developments as they progress.
We offer a long-term “sunset service”: that is, contact is on-going until you feel settled. This provides new residents with a great sense of comfort as they adapt to the new region.
The Packages
Partner assistance
Top
Supporting the partner in a relocating family is a major focus of our service. We care that the partner is happy living in the region. If the partner is not happy, long-term settlement can be uncertain.
Support services include arranging an introduction to employment consultants, educational institutions, volunteering agencies, sporting clubs, cultural outlets … and providing friendly advice and support when required!
Temporary accommodation
Top
Serviced apartments in both cities provide an ideal base while looking for something more permanent. A hire car can also be arranged.
House buying
Top
Buyer’s agency is perfectly suited to busy people, buyers lacking experience, and people unfamiliar with the area – ie. country, interstate or overseas buyers. We act on your behalf and search for a suitable property according to your brief and negotiate its purchase. Your options:
- Leave the entire task of property-buying to us. Inspect short-listed properties, already qualified by us, thus saving you time;
- Inspect properties and eliminate unsuitable ones: once you have found a desirable property, we swing into action on your behalf, assessing the property’s worth, bidding at auction or negotiating in a private-sale situation;
- When ready to buy, we provide skilled and experienced negotiation at auction or by private sale.
House renting
Top
We search for a suitable property and, when successful, submit a Residential Tenancy Application on your behalf, dealing directly with the Property Manager.
You will need to arrange the payment of one week’s rent as a deposit to secure the property, as well as a bond which is the equivalent of four week’s rent.
Children’s services
Top
We will arrange appointments with appropriate schools, pre-schools/kindergartens and childcare centres. We are able to advise on or arrange enrolment for sporting or cultural pursuits (eg. dancing, musical instrument, speech and drama instruction).
Start-up shopping
Top
You provide us with a list of your shopping requirements and these items will be provided. We will also direct you to shops and facilities.
Guide to local services
Top
We provide you with a business-card folder with introductions to a variety of local services: tradespeople, hair-salons, kennels and other organisations.
Specialised services
Top
If there is anything else that you need, we can arrange that as well.
