Born and bred locally, I attended St Bernards College which was a wonderful grounding and to this day I attend the school reunions every year. I was fortunate to find my passion early in life, Real Estate and with Real Estate running through my family it was inevitable I would pursue a career in the industry.
My start came in 1989 joining P. Di Natale Real Estate as a junior in Footscray run by my uncle. Footscray provided many challenges and I had to adapt quickly to the riggers of property management in the West, nevertheless, this was an excellent grounding to start my career. I was then approached by Brad Teal in Essendon to join the firm and quickly rose to head the property management department.

We ask all the relevant documents be provided when submitting your application including all the information requested on the application form. The payment of your bond will be lodged with the Residential Tenancy Bond Authority (RTBA). The bond will then be electronically lodged via the RTBA online system.
In real estate there is a term "7 seconds", potential tenants make a decision on whether they like a property within the first 7 seconds they view the property. There are properties that cater for all types of tenants. If your apartment is older, its often larger in size in comparison to the new ones being built today.
Before you buy a home or vacant residential land, you should be aware of a range of issues that may affect that property and impose restrictions or obligations on you, if you buy it. This checklist aims to help you identify whether any of these issues will affect you. The questions are a starting point only and you may need to seek professional advice to answer some of them.

Ernie took over our NRAS Property from a property manager who closed up there doors and went missing.
Without any tenant information and NRAS forms. Ernie went far and beyond to get all information and documentation in order, for our property to qualify for our NRAS payments and tax offsets. I couldn't thank Ernie enough for getting us out of the whole we were left in.
Thanks Again Ernie

Ernie was a disgustingly rude and angry man to me and my family. He had no respect towards women, even in-front of my father and he clearly just could not be bothered with me. I apologised for being a few minutes late, which I told him I would be a few minutes late, and he totally disregarded my apology. He was inappropriately dressed for a real estate agent, he was unshaven and he was ready to cut my 15 minute inspection time down without any notice. Which he didn’t even specify the inspection time. He didn’t reply to my email, I chased him up, and he was rude on the phone too. Overall with

I recommend this business without reservation. Carmelo Caputa provides exceptional service and attention to detail. He made the task of leasing my new property straight forward and hassle-free, even during COVID! As a first-time landlord, I appreciated his professionalism and prompt response to my queries and his thoroughness with following up on all maintenance issues. For example, not only was my property was on the market literally within a few hours, I was confident that my property was being advertised competitively in the best possible media and was updated on a regular basis. I was pleased

We have been renting through Ernie Caputa for the past nine years over three properties , first with his old agency and now with Melbourne Residential Property Management. I cannot have enough good things to say about Ernie. The fact speaks for itself - we have been renting through him for almost a decade!
He deals with problems quickly and efficiently. We had a dishwasher and air conditioner break down, which needed replacement. He gives plenty of notice for inspections, is fair and sensible about general wear and tear issues, and gave us plenty of notice to extend our lease, or most recently

Been with Ernie since my first purchase and the start of the Melbourne Residential Property Group so it must be around 8 years working together. In this time I have referred many more properties from friends and family into Ernie's stewardship and team at MRPM upon hearing some horror stories from careless and non-accountable management teams.
