Testimonials from Clients

"I am delighted to recommend Exec Relocations to anyone relocating to Sydney. It is a daunting task to start a new job and simultaneously attend to the logistics of the move. Julieanne McCartney ensured that it all came together for me. I was able to find accommodation that met my brief, within the timeframe specified by Julieanne, who also attended to all the details of lease requirements and utilities. She deals expertly with the Real Estate agents and property owners; she is a very nifty shopper and is able to find solutions to the myriad of small but-vital issues that crop up. Julieanne is organised, practical, sensitive, diligent, well informed and delightful company in a stressful situation. I am very grateful to Julieanne."

Ruth Harley, CEO, Screen Australia

"Julieanne did a fantastic job of finding me an apartment to die for. The apartment itself is brilliant - it has a back yard! - but the view is miraculous. She fulfilled all my requirements, like proximity to transport, garaging and shopping. She organised the power and phone and everything was done by her with ease and grace."

Caterina de Nave, Head of Drama and Comedy, SBS

"We used Julieanne for our move from the United States. Without her it would have been impossible for the move to go as smoothly as it did. She is very knowledgeable of Sydney’s many unique neighborhoods, real estate, schools and entertainment. She is also very compassionate in recognising the large undertaking of moving from another country to Australia. She not only understands the tactical aspects of such a move, but also the emotional burden. I highly recommend her for relocation and found her to be very affordable based on the high level of service and follow-up received."

Mike Billingsley, CEO, TOLUNA GROUP, SYDNEY

"The task of finding a nice and affordable place to live seemed impossible to me in the first few weeks of arriving to Sydney. After visiting a few very disappointing properties on my own, with no idea of which areas to look at, or how the renting market works in this side of the world, I was lucky enough to get Julieanne’s help and expertise. Julianne showed me nice and affordable areas in Sydney, liaised with estate agents and arranged for all utilities. She also managed to take me to lovely shopping spots that match with my taste and show me around the city in between property visits . After only a few days I moved to a nice and affordable flat where I can finally settle down and focus on my work and enjoy the city.

Julieanne is also very friendly and patient and takes time to understand her client needs and tastes. I would recommend Julieanne to anyone who is thinking to move to Sydney."

Antonia Calvo, Project Coordinator, Asia Pacific, Toluna Group, Sydney

" We highly recommend Julieanne McCartney to anyone relocating to Sydney. Her help in finding us short-term furnished accommodation and later a six-month rental, was invaluable. Julieanne provided information about schools (for our 16 year old) and was instrumental in organizing appointments with several highly regarded Independent schools – leading to him being offered a place at each of them. Julieanne’s local knowledge contributed enormously to our family settling into Sydney.

At all times we found Julieanne to be a woman of integrity, warmth and highly organized. Transitioning to another country can be extremely stressful. With Julieanne’s expert guidance our transition was made much easier."

Warm regards
Julie and Gavin Marshall, Fairfax Media

"I have recently moved to Sydney from Auckland, New Zealand, with my wife and 2 girls, 5 and 7, and was fortunate enough to be able to utilise the skills of Julieanne McCartney of Exec-Relocations. She organised temporary accommodation for us in Darling Harbour before we arrived, which was sensational from a price, location, amenities and flexibility point of view.

Julieanne then proceeded to pick us all up and show us a range of suitable accommodation, all in excellent school zones. As my move is for an indeterminate time, we also required furnished accommodation, which in a market short of any rental accommodation, was an added problem.

Several school visits and many accommodation visits were organised, which could have been a very trying experience with 2 easily bored young girls. Just the opposite, however, as she took full account of what we could comfortably do with breaks and entertainment for the girls and a bit of sight-seeing, while never losing sight of the end goal.

We are very happily settled in a wonderful 3 bedroom furnished home in Cremorne, 5 minutes walk to the local school, 15 minutes from town, and with space for the girls to play and us to entertain, at a great price.

In addition, Julieanne, while very warm and friendly to our family, did not hesitate to put pressure when required on real estate agents and power and telephone providers, to ensure that we had as stress-free a relocation as possible.

I would recommend the Exec-Relocations experience to anyone. Thanks again, Julieanne."

David Cooper, National Manager, Scottish Business Finance

"Exec Relocations has provided services for 2 relocations for our family. The first with a toddler from Sydney to Bangkok, and the 2nd with the addition of a 7 month old from Bangkok to Shanghai. In both cases the attentive and personal approach to detail was aligned ideally to the needs of my wife and children in very new environments. Given my frequent travel around Asia, it was of primary importance the family’s needs were met first and foremost. The agents appointed in both locations were tightly monitored by Exec Relocations in Sydney, including frequent progress checks on our satisfaction. In both cases the agents were themselves once newcomers with young families to those cities, and after several years they were not only fluent in local language, but had firsthand experience to provide intuitively perfect solutions for everything from a residence in a location conducive to new friendships, to schooling, playgroups and medical care. Particularly impressive to us was the seamless coordination of exit services from Bangkok coordinated with entry requirements in Shanghai. Most importantly, the ultimate goal of feeling settled quickly was achieved."

Chani Baveja, Director of Operations, Asia, Accor Advantage Plus

"I have recently relocated to Sydney from the U.K and my partner has joined me from Melbourne but this would have not been possible without the help, support, guidance and friendship of Julieanne McCartney and Exec-Relocations Pty Ltd.

After many frustrating weekends of open viewings attended by hoards of deposit wielding maniacs and numerous disappointments we felt we would never find a property and would have to resort to sleeping in my office. Julieanne was amazing, after a phone call we felt assured that she would not only be able to find us a place to live but find us the home we were searching for. She catered her search to our needs and found and fought for us to get the house of our dreams in an area we only dreamed of living in. And what is more she achieved all this in under a week.

My partner and I are indebted to Julieanne and the friendly and professional way in which she made what seemed an impossible ordeal a stress free pleasure.

Thank you Julieanne,"

A very happy Chris Smith and Rebecca Purcell, Programme Manager, Accor Hotels Advantage Plus

"Talent2 has had a relationship with Exec-Relocations for a number of years. We use their services for T2 people we hire from overseas who are to be located in Australia. We also recommend Exec-Relocations to our clients when we are involved in an overseas search or recruitment and where a candidate is recruited from other parts of Australia, and will be required to work in other than their home town. Julieanne McCartney has always been involved in each assignment and takes a personal interest in all activities. The level of service and feedback has always been of the highest level, and I confidently recommend Julieanne and her company"

Her professional and efficient manner enabled us to interview, meet and discuss all of our needs with schools and real estate agents with no stress on our behalf.

Your liaising between myself and the various personnel in State Water on matters relating to relocation was really appreciated. I know that your involvement in the process eliminated much of the anxiety and frustration that could have occurred if I had to achieve that which you achieved for State Water and myself.

Julieanne, thank you again for the really wonderful job you did and for the patience you displayed."

Ned Hamilton, State Water

"I am writing to thank you for the very professional effort you put in with the relocating of Jonathan Large and his family from the UK.

I realize that this is a complex task, and I was delighted that you handled it with seamless efficiency. One of your outstanding features was that you kept us fully informed throughout the process so that we were comfortable that everything was moving along as we required.

Jonathan and his family have been appreciative of how their arrival and settling in period was managed. Thank you once again for your assistance and we look forward to using your services again in the near future.

Kind regards,"

Simon Chown, General Manager, Sales & Marketing, NCI

"My wife, baby and I transferred from Adelaide to Sydney in September 2007. We engaged the services of Exec-Relocations to assist us with the move and renting a property. Moving with a baby provides you with only limited time to spend viewing houses. Julieanne was extremely well prepared and had mapped out the viewings so we got the maximum value from limited time. The preparation, assessment of the properties we were after and knowledge of Sydney allowed us to find a property within two mornings. The follow up was also very professional and Julieanne ensured our utilities were ready when we arrived and the lease agreement did not have any surprises."

Kirk Cheesman, NCI (NATIONAL CREDIT INSURANCE (BROKERS) PTY LTD)

"Having recently relocated from the UK to Sydney I was lucky enough to have Exec-Relocations employed to assist with all aspects of our move. First and foremost, Julieanne provided us with a wealth of local knowledge which proved to be invaluable when deciding on the area in which we wanted to settle. Not only was the service Julieanne provided professional, efficient and prompt, she took time to get to know us and our situation to enable her to access our needs, ultimately finding us the perfect place!" Many thanks Julieanne, we couldn't have managed without you!"

Geena Aldridge, NCI

"We are a young family that have been fortunate enough to move from the UK to Sydney through a new job opportunity. We are settled now in a small suburb and our 7 year old daughter is settled in her new school.

Looking back at our move, we really appreciate the part played by Julieanne, from our initial communications prior to our departure, to our welcoming consultation when we first arrived.

It was crucial that we got the move right first time and we value the fact that we have settled in to our new home so much faster with her guidance. I can see now that failure to do this quickly would have resulted in an unhappy wife and children and my family wanting to return home.

Thank you Julieanne."

Jonathan Large, Sales Executive, NCI

"I'm fully aware of the good work that Exec-Relocations has done and have no reservation to use your services again or recommend your organisation to others."

Huey Sheng Lim, HR Manager, Hyperion Solutions

"Hyperion Solutions hired Exec-Relocations to handle our professional and personal needs for our relocation to Australia. Prior to our move from America, Julieanne was extremely helpful in many areas. The initial information she provided, enabled us to plan for temporary housing, permanent housing, school, vehicles, pet arrangements and many other necessities to make our transition smooth and successful. Once we arrived in Sydney, she greeted us on such a personal and professional level, we felt at ease immediately. She continued to show outstanding professionalism throughout our time together. We were successful in all areas in which Exec-Relocations was responsible for. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoyed our time together on a personal level. Her lively and kind personality was comforting and reassuring as we made multiple arrangements for settling my family in a new country with a complete unknown of the culture and lifestyle. I am very confident in referring your company to anyone in need of your services."

Catherine Palmer, Hyperion Solutions

"Now that Exec-Relocations has completed some relocation tasks for IPS, I would like to thank you for your extremely practical and helpful approach to settling visitors and staff into the Sydney environment. Relocation is an upheaval and staff that are content with their new surroundings make happy members of the work force, especially those with family. From our business perspective, your knowledge of the City and surrounding regions and your contacts in the property market has proven to be invaluable in finding good accommodation in the right surroundings to meet our requirements. Using your services has saved us time and money with a happy outcome for our relocated staff. I will be glad to recommend your services to other organisations in need of competent friendly relocation assistance."

David Cole, General Manager, IPS Radio and Space Services, Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources

"We used Exec-Relocations to facilitate our relocation from London to Sydney. With three school age children and no prior experience of Sydney we got assistance to search for schools and houses. The level of service and feedback was of the highest level and I am happy to recommend Julieanne and her company."
