benj1980 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi guys As the move creeps ever forward I'm starting to dream of moving into my first Australian home! Is there any agents that have a bad reputation or you've had a particular bad experience with? Maybe they are all fantastic, who knows! If you highly recommend a particular agent that would also be useful, to ease my paranoid mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic964 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hi its difficult to generalize, as there are agents as well as indivuduals who rent out their homes here in WA. Most agents are realty (estate) agents, so they sell houses as well as rent them out on behalf of the owners, and I hear very little negative press. Most realty agents are part of large chains, so again they have to have a high standard. Private rentals can be more variable, I think however as long as the house you are looking to rent is in a good state, then that reflects the owners and the way they do business. Overall I wouldn't be too concerned, plus the fact at the moment there are a lot more rental properties on the market, so you do have plenty of choice. Hope that helps nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 We try stick with the bigger ones like Ray White, Realmark etc, yes its a pain in the arse dealing with them, but at the end of the day as long as you havnt trashed the place you get your deposit back.............eventually, I have heard a lot if stories about private tenants having to fight owners to get the deposit back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
