Hello Bev,

Thanks for the advice...Relocation agencies seem to work very much like 'headhunters' in the corporate sector--they have offices in the States where you meet with them, work out your paperwork from the US, and negotiate rental contracts. They charge a finders-fee and when you arrive abroad, you move right into the place that you have secured.

Best to you, and thanks again.
