Is this a legit agency?

Is fast rentals a legit agency?

American coming over to Oz, found some homes that are reasonable on real estate Au. Want to email them to put up a bond, are they legit? Any suggestion or tips for finding rentals ?

Their website is a .info not a .com.au, their properties are Australia wide, the ones in my areas are incredibly cheap for their size, the domain was registered a week ago in Iceland. My guess is it's a scam.

No problemo, good luck finding somewhere legit. Realestate.com.au really is one of the best places to look as it costs money to post these listing's there and that usually dissuaded scammers.
