I am planning to move to melbourne soon and i was wondering if i can secure a rental house before i actually move there so that when i get there it will be ready for me to move in. I know most agents dont let you apply for a house unless you’ve phisically been inside it and taken an application form, but that’s not an option for me as i live on the other side of the country. Does anybody know of any real estate agents in melbourne that will let me apply for a house that ive seen on their website and organise everything over the phone/fax and wire them the bond etc?? So that when i get there i can just get the keys from them and move in?
Is that even possible to do?

If not doesn’t matter….go to http://www.realestate.com.au have a look there, and on every property you look at it will have at the side contact the agent or down the bottom apply for this property. I don’t think you will have any dramas at all.

There might be real-estate agents who will be willing to do that for you, but you’ll have to call them personally and ask them. Do you not have someone who can go check out the house for you to see that it’s acceptable living space? That would be the best option, I think, and probably acceptable to the agents as well.
