Winneth did a great job finding us an apartment. Winneth was excited about finding ‘the one’. It’s difficult for busy people such as myself and my partner to make it to rental viewings. I can’t recommend him enough.

Winneth was an angel in disguise of a patient rental property guru. In such a stressful time Winneth was a rock. He kept a clear head and was always happy to answer any questions or settle our nerves. He helped steer us into an area that fitted our criteria of a great family feel and excellent schools. Fulfilled my wishes of being in walking distance of trains and trams and being near enough to my husband’s work so his daily commute was under half an hour.  And managed to do all of this within our budget.

Within a couple weeks, though he had found a fantastic apartment in Carlton that hit all our criteria. He didn’t stop there; Winneth negotiated with the management company, conducted the inspections, and guided us through each step of the paperwork. Winneth even took care of getting all our utilities up and running before we moved in. We are living in a great apartment and a vibrant neighbourhood without having stressed ourselves getting here.

Winneth was superb from our first communication to beyond receipt of our keys to our rental in Melbourne. So much nicer to walk into your long term rented home than a temporary accommodation!

Winneth has a remarkable ability to identify the needs of his clients in a very short amount of time and is absolutely invested in ensuring those needs are met. Winneth managed to dramatically reduce the stresses of relocating from interstate. I cannot recommend Finders Keepers Rental Property Locators highly enough. His services are something that every university should consider recommending to new academic staff moving to Melbourne from elsewhere.

We moved from the UK with two young children and wanted a house a short commute from work, and close to a good primary school. Winneth worked extremely hard to ensure all our needs were met. Nothing was too much to ask for and he was always very prompt when replying to our messages.

I had a month to find a rental property before my family arrived from overseas for my wedding. The house would also be my first home with my partner, so I was looking for something special. At times when I would consider settling on a place that had a few things lacking, Winneth would keep me focused and remind me of the things that were important to me.

All I had to do was give Winneth a few details of what I was looking for in an apartment and he looked after the rest. He took care of setting up the utilities, ordering appliances, and even dealing with internet services providers; sometimes for hours at a time! The result was that I was able to walk into the perfect apartment in a great location and not have to worry about a thing.

Winneth was a godsend. We were really anxious about finding a rental home for ourselves and our two young children after hearing so many horror stories about the rental market in Melbourne, but Winneth made finding a place to live a breeze. Once we told him our basic...

Winneth was amazing from start to finish. We couldn’t have hoped for better advice, support and ongoing attention to detail from the service he offers.

When I moved in I was immensely pleased with the property, and having Winneth greet me with the keys and show me around was a great introduction to the place! It certainly was a much better fit to my criteria than anything I’d looked at online myself.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the University of Melbourne employing Winneth Sotingco to assist me to move and settle in to Melbourne. Quite frankly, I don’t think I would have survived if I had to come to Melbourne and then look for a place to live in a country where I have little idea of how things work.
