New Family from U.K need to find a house to rent ASAP

Post by 5 fields » Fri Nov 16, 2012 6:18 pm

Hi there just thought it may be worth a try. We are a family just moved over here from the U.K. with 3 children and a small dog. We need to find a house to rent ASAP as our furniture is due to arrive very, very soon from the U.K. We want to be in a nice family neighbourhood within walking distance to a good school if possible, and close to beaches.

We have looked at quite a few houses but have had no look up to now :(

Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks Maria

Hi Maria

I wish I could help but I don't deal with rentals at all and will probably only be privy to the sames ones as yourself via the rental sites on the web etc.

What I can say is that I do know of a couple of 4-bed houses in Upper Mission that are actually vacant just now and have been for a while. I can contact the agents to see if the sellers would be willing to rent them out for a short period. There is the probability they won't be but it might be worth a shot?

Let me know what you think.

Tracy

Hi Tracey, that would be great if you don't mind, obviously depends on a price and where but may be worth a shot. Really not having much look at all, been here 3 weeks now !! Just hoping something comes up next week.

If you do happen to hear of anywhere please let me know, many thanks

Hi Maria

I had 2 in mind and one is a definite no and I am waiting for the listing agent to call me back for the other. His office said it might take some time to get a hold of the sellers which tells me they are out of town but I will let you know as soon as I hear back. Can you PM me your cell number.

Meantime, I'll keep my ear to the ground and see what comes up :)
