Hello everyone. I am in a bit of a conundrum. I was super excited to be accepted to UGA for the Fall in the Anthropology PhD program. Now however, I am finding it increasingly hard to locate housing and/or a realtor who is willing to work with me long distance. I have scoured craigslist, I have asked my department, I have sent multiple emails to realtors, I have worn out google search- only to come up empty handed or for people to tell me that they will not rent sight unseen. I understand it is a big gamble (to rent sight unseen), but I am currently located in Western Australia and will not be returning to the US until late-June early July (this cannot be avoided with work responsibilities). I know it is very VERY early, but I would like to have something set-up or at least a general feeling of comfort knowing that I have a place to move to. I will be moving to Athens with my very good friend and she is not able to view apartments either as she is located in Massachusetts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any good rental agencies who will help me locate and rent (possibly pre-lease) an apartment long distance? Thank you everyone in advance.
