Over the last few years Metropole have probably bought more properties for its clients than any other buyer’s agent in Australia. Our post purchase survey of hundreds of clients from all walks of life found that 97% were very happy with our service. We were unable to find exactly what the other 3% wanted, in these cases they were not charged a purchase fee.
Here is a very small sample of the many, many testimonials Metropole have from our many satisfied clients…
Business Accelerator Mastermind
After the coaching process, we definitely have a lot more structure and detail in everything we do. We have more procedures in place and understand our business better than before.
I’ve never felt more focused and single minded in terms of what I want and I have a strong commitment to making it happen. Working with Mark has increased that focus even more. I feel I have learned so much in the time so far I have spent working with Mark and have received fabulous advice.
Working together has had an immediate positive impact as I can clearly see the steps required in terms of what I need to do in order to get closer to each goal. Marks advice has also given me confidence and clarity in areas where there isn’t necessarily one way to go. The program is helping me to improve and work on my focus, clarity, confidence, self-belief and corporate culture.
The main benefit of the program to me is Having a soundboard that I have enormous faith in. I’ve never been more excited about getting my teeth into it.
Once we met Mark and spoke to him in person, we were both comfortable and confident in his approach and the decision to join his coaching program was easy. Mark and his team are always available as a sounding board for my ideas, are supportive and give great feedback.
Working with mark Creedon has had a dramatic impact on our profitability as we are now much more focused on the revenue generating areas of our business. We are more driven, and have a clearer vision and a better plan. Coaching with Mark has made me feel much more positive about my business.
Buying a home
We’re absolutely thrilled! Thanks to the team at Metropole, we bought our first home in one of Melbourne’s most prestige suburbs, one we hadn’t even considered. We didn’t think we could live in such a great suburb. You gave us the confidence we required to make a buying decision and took care of everything along the way. We highly recommend your home-buying services.
Buying a house is such an emotional journey. Thanks for taking the time to understand my special requirements and explaining all the steps I needed to take along the way…
It was an absolute pleasure to work with the Metropole team on purchasing my first property in Australia. Dennis Klapas made the process very enjoyable, smooth, and well-coordinated. The property I purchased is a real treasure, much more than I was expecting to get.
Dennis was very professional with searching for and checking the properties for me. He made a thorough analysis of the property itself and the neighborhood before he recommended it for me to inspect. I really felt he tried to find the place I will be 100% satisfied with and he acted in my best interest.
I strongly recommend Metropole to anyone looking for professional help with property purchases. I will definitely involve the Metropole team whenever I need help with property in the future.
Mentorship Program
I think it has changed my life as far as my mindset is to understand why I wasn’t doing the things I wanted to do.
Thank you for your help in changing the way we think. We have enjoyed the mentoring program to date. We listen to the audio sessions at home together, pausing them to take notes and to discuss concepts and ideas. They helped both of us understand ourselves and each other in a number of ways. The action steps at the end of the session are a good method of reinforcing the material. The ability to play the audio files again and again is excellent for repetition and memory recall, which I feel will change our thoughts and then habits.
Michael – Thank you from the bottom of my heart… Through following your mentoring program and knowing you were there if I needed you I had the courage to take responsibility for my life in a way that has taken me from ‘existing’ to living. In short, I have been able to take actions that have dramatically improved my health, my relationships and the way I respond to life’s opportunities. With your help I have developed a mindset of abundance and as such I have been fortunate enough to attract substantial wealth in the last 12 months.
I am doing your mentoring program and… I find that I have a much more positive outlook towards achieving my goals and am able to see where my previous concerns about money have come from.
Just wanted to let you know how valuable I have found your Mentorship Program over the last 12 months. I have learnt so much that looking back I can’t believe such simple concepts even need to be brought to our attention. Having done other courses, yours by far, exceeded my expectations.
I found it extremely interesting and driving. It actually made us think a lot about ourselves. I’ve changed in a lot of ways, not just in property.
Metropole Constructions
As a qualified construction project manager with over 25 years of experience involved in both the design & building of high end dwellings, I am critical of a builders ability to deliver not only to specification but also to a high level of quality & detail. I was recently engaged by a client to manage a dual occupancy project in Bentleigh that was awarded to Metropole Constructions. Involved from inception to completion I can attest to the builders abilities each step of the process & attention to resolving each challenge along the way. The project was completed above expectation.
I have since engaged Metropole Constructions directly to build a luxury home for a client in Caulfield South.
I am satisfied to recommend Metropole to any discerning investor or home builder, Greg Hankinson & his team are both professional & approachable.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole team at Metropole Group for the incredible work they do. Words alone simply do no justice to the work they do for their clients.
I have recently finished a development project with their Construction team and they were simply fantastic. The whole team were very professional, knowledgeable in what they do, in the markets, answered all my questions in a timely fashion along the way and have made the whole process seem so much more incredibly easy. The quality of workmanship and finish’s inside and out exceeded my expectations. That is impressive.
I would recommend them without hesitation.
Metropole found a property for us that was off market, helped design 2 houses to replace the existing home and then through Metropole Constructions built the houses. The whole process was seamless, and we are thrilled with the outcome that we have been able to achieve together. Fiona Marshall, our project manager, kept us well informed throughout the construction process and Greg Hankinson, Director of Metropole Constructions and our builder, was a delight to work with.
If there was a problem, we didn’t find out about it until it had been fixed. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Having initially engaged Metropole to manage a rental property for us, we have now worked with them to buy, design and construct. We have been made to feel very much a part of the Metropole family. Should you intend to invest with Metropole it will be money well spent.
Property Development
Being busy, hard working Retail business owners for the past 20 years we had relied on our Financial Planner to control our investments, mainly in a Share Portfolio. Two years ago we realised we were not getting the wealth growth we needed for retirement.
We started going to Property Investment Seminars and joined a Property Investment Group who advised us to buy two new properties interstate and an Off the Plan apartment also interstate. This created so much coordination for us going through an interstate Buyer’s Agent, Broker and Solicitor and relaying all this information back to our local Accountant and Financial Advisor. We thought how much easier it would be if they all knew each other and worked in together.
We then went to a Metropole Property Investment Seminar and were impressed with the strategies and proven concepts Michael spoke about. We also realised many mistakes we had made and agreed we needed a Financial Assessment from Metropole.
Michael explained the best way to create capital growth for us was by doing a Property Development. We attended Metropole’s 3 day Property Renovation and Development Workshop and learnt so much and were convinced that with Metropole’s knowledge and experience we were very ready to start a property development.
Within weeks David had sourced a suitable property in East Bentleigh and due diligence done we managed to buy off market at a very good price. Over the past month we have had several personal phone calls from Michael and his professional team and we really feel that they have a genuine interest in helping us achieve our goals.
We have been listening to the audio tapes and reading Michaels books and are very keen on educating ourselves as quickly as possible.
We are extremely excited about our property development and look forward to working with Metropole on further property projects and wealth creation concepts.
Thanks Metropole we know we are with the right team and on the right path now!
Property Investment
I have just purchased my first investment property using the Metropole Buyers’ Agency. I had attended several seminars presented by different agencies and individuals, and read a lot of articles and journals, before deciding to go with Metropole.
The basic message was the same with all of them, but I liked the attitude of the Metropole staff: they knew their facts, had examples to back them up, and time was not an issue when it came to explaining things to beginners like me. I also felt that their strategy suited me, and allowed to me to do things my way. Warren Loone took the time to understand my needs and interests, and I felt confident to go forward with Metropole on the basis of all of this.
Metropole has certainly put their claims into practice in my experience so far. I would be happy to recommend their services to others looking to maximise their potential in the property investment industry.
Being a very busy professional working person and being extremely time poor I still want to ensure that I stick to my long term plan of using property to fund my retirement. Whilst already owning several investment properties in Perth I was keen to start looking interstate.
A week-end trip to Melbourne to look at the property market there was most confusing! The market there is different to WA. Not being familiar with the suburbs in Melbourne it was difficult to determine which areas would be good for investment, which areas have potential for solid capital growth, also not having access to Victorian statistical data did not help!
Metropole found me a property within a few weeks that met all my identified criteria. They provided me with all the data and information I needed to make an informed decision. I was very pleased with the result. We managed to get the property at less than we expected to pay and less than the purchase price of an identical unit in the block 7 months earlier.
I would certainly recommend Metropole to others. They took all my needs into account and helped me to acquire a great property without all the normal stresses of time and energy associated with house hunting!
I think I’ve benefited from your services hugely! Dealing with you every step of the way has made the whole process so much easier than if I had decided to go it alone.
I believe the Agency Fee in regards to using Metropole as a ‘Buyers Agent’ has more than paid for itself when I consider the stress involved in – scouring the market for a suitable property, the stress of negotiating a price, stress of an auction, all the associated paperwork involved in the purchase and just the general professionalism and knowledge of the buying processes involved.
I have already, and would continue to recommend your Services to others… With my aim being to build my Investment Property Portfolio in the coming years I would have no hesitation in dealing with Metropole again to achieve this.
Thank you for assisting us in purchasing our first investment property. We are really happy with the property as it met all our strict criteria and are especially pleased with the below-market price that you have been able to negotiate for us! We decided to engage Metropole as our buyer’s agent after learning more about Michael Yardney and realising that he actually practices what he preaches in his books and seminars, and that the organization behind him employs the same highly knowledgeable and skillful strategies in property investing. So this is a thank-you note-for fast tracking our property portfolio.
Daniel and I were extremely happy with the services of Metropole. We have previously purchased (separately) properties through another property investment company acting on our behalf. Although both properties have performed well, the service was not as thorough as Metropole.
I have already recommended your company to friends and make no hesitation in continuing to do so. We found Steve to be excellent with his knowledge assisting us to select a property with excellent future capital growth prospects. We look forward to working with Metropole again in the future.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and George for the support/work in the process of Purchasing the Bond St property – appreciated your professionalism & meeting my initial expectations in terms of the property that I had anticipated in purchasing – once again. Thanks.
Property number 3 with the Sydney team. I’ve had great results with the first 2 and it’s now just a matter of following the same process again this time. With the team of experts, it makes it much easier than doing it yourself and I get a better result as each of the specialists has helped me get a better result than I could.
Thanks George for the regular reviews to check how I’m going, Tracey for doing the leg work and sourcing properties which tick all the right boxes for a solid investment and bringing together the coordination of Finance and Conveyancing for me.
Thanks again.
We would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to the Metropole team. Your team’s professionalism and experience is second to none. Metropole made the whole process from gaining finance through to buying a property quite easy. We would like to give buyer’s agent Tracey a big thumbs up. She always delivered potential investments that exceeded our expectations in own selection criteria.
We couldn’t be happier with our latest purchase. We were after an investment with great growth prospects and we believe we achieved this. We look forward to using the services of Metropole for our next investment.
Cheers,
In our dealings with Metropole, we have nothing but praise. From the outset, Metropole showed a high degree of professionalism. In particular, we were impressed with Diane Johnson, our buyer’s agent, who was clearly committed to our needs. Her strong interpersonal skills enabled information to be conveyed articulately, ensuring that we were constantly updated through each step of the process. Diane’s contacts and insider knowledge about the market also provided us with opportunities that we may have otherwise not had. Diane took all of the stress out of buying a good quality investment property, and for that, we have no hesitation in highly recommending Metropole to those looking to buy a property.
I would like to thank you for the professional service finding a premium property in record time. What may have taken months to achieve on my own has been achieved in weeks. You have found a property that has exceeded my expectations both in value, position and ongoing capital growth. The savings made in time and purchase price have far outstripped any buying fee and have silenced any sceptics I know.
I’ve just had my offer accepted to purchase a property in Bentleigh East. I just wanted to say thank you to the team who has been involved in this project so far. It has been a very positive and exciting experience thus far. Michael, thanks for establishing and running Metropole in the way that you do. Armchair development is the perfect next step in my investing career. Pamela, thanks for your passion for helping others. It’s easy to choose a company that embodies such high human traits.

Though I already have several properties that I have found and negotiated myself I decided to use Metropole to help me to buy my next investment property for two reasons.
Firstly because their full time presence in the market gives them a better understanding of values and opportunities than me, as well as better relationships with the selling agents, and secondly because they prided themselves as being able to find properties “with a twist”, which is an opportunity to make some quick returns.
I also talked with the people at Metropole that I would be working with and was very comfortable with them. Metropole found a unit in Malvern for me.
All of this happened while I was living in Malaysia and, in fact, was on a holiday at an island resort! I would recommend Metropole to anyone who is new to the property market or who does not have the huge amount of time required to do proper research.
Just wanted to pass on to you my gratitude for the work done throughout the entire process of identifying my investment needs, locating an appropriate property, and negotiating its price, to the purchase and paperwork involved.
Being new to the investment property game, I believe your services have been invaluable… and I look forward to dealing with Metropole in the near future.
We decided to use the services of Metropole firstly on the recommendations of friends. We were interested in purchasing a good investment property but lacked the expertise and the time.
We understood that with the help of Metropole we could achieve good results without having to invest time in researching the market. As a result of using the services of Metropole we were immediately given good contacts of Solicitors and Finance Brokers whose services we have used and been pleased with.
After having talked through the finance options, Bryce then set out to search properties for us. He showed us a property on the market and then showed us other properties that had recently been purchased by Metropole thus giving us a good idea of the current market.
The property that we looked at went to auction and you successfully bid and secured it for us at a very good price. Once again it was clear that we would not have had the knowledge or expertise to secure this property at the price.
We would definitely recommend Metropole to anyone who was in a similar position to ourselves.
Thanks again.
Thank you for assisting us in purchasing our first investment property . We are really happy with the property as it met all our strict criteria and are especially pleased with the below-market price that you have been able to negotiate for us!

So this is a thank-you note—for fast tracking our property portfolio.
We are experienced property investors from Perth but it wasn’t until meeting with Metropole that we realised the market here is completely different from Perth and we did not have the in-depth local experience that Metropole possesses. After six months of unsuccessful bidding at auctions by ourselves, we then engaged Metropole and secured a nice property within 4 weeks with the help of Metropole.
You have been most helpful with answering all our questions regarding the Melbourne property market and your communication has been most friendly and efficient. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending the team at Metropole.
I’ve just had my offer accepted to purchase a property in Bentleigh East… I just wanted to say thank you to you … to the team who has been involved in this project so far…it has been a very positive and exciting experience thus far.
Michael, thanks for establishing and running Metropole in the way that you do. Armchair development is the perfect next step in my investing career. Pamela, thanks for your passion for helping others. It’s easy to choose a company that embodies such high and human traits.
I just wanted to thank you for helping me obtain such a wonderful property with so much potential and meeting all my criteria.
I was a little nervous buying a property in another state, which I have no knowledge of and putting my trust in a buyer’s agent. But after discussing my requirements and hearing your suggestions and advice and seeing the property that you came up with, I would not hesitate to recommend Metropole.
What has impressed me is not only the research that you did for me to find the right property but all the investigations prior to purchase you did to put me at ease.
The follow up service post purchase, has also been fantastic like organising access to the property before settlement to start the renovations and all the reminder notes of what to do. Any requests I have made have been followed up promptly.
All in all everything from finding the right property, the auction bidding and follow up service has been fantastic and your experience and knowledge shows. I will definitely be using your services again in the near future when finance allows.
Due to my own business commitments and hectic traveling schedule, I was in search of a Company that would look after all my property investment needs; purchase, location, strategy, execution and development. After researching my options, Metropole with its long term commitment and proactive approach to property became a logical choice.
After purchasing my first property with Metropole, they not only met my expectations, they exceeded them. I am surrounded by a wonderful team of dedicated and passionate professionals who take care of all my needs, and are now currently working on the development phase of the investment property. Even the leasing of the property was easy, with all steps being managed without my input.
Being a professional myself with exacting high standards, I commend Metropole for making the property purchase so easy and stress free. I highly recommend Metropole to anyone who is serious about wealth creation through property. Metropole is a “one stop shop” who goes that extra yard, which separates true professionals. A satisfied customer!
Hi George,
Hope this finds you well.
We wanted to pass on a big thank you to everyone at Metropole and make special mention as to how wonderful Denise has been with securing our most recent Sydney purchase. The entire experience has exceeded our expectations (& continues to).
Throughout every step and with every member of staff, the process has been seamless with a level of communication that most organisations only dream of. We have also recently been doing business with a competitor of yours – unfortunately for them, you’ve put them to shame (and as a result we won’t be using their services again).
Keep up the fabulous work!
Regards,
Throughout the whole process, Diane used her personal knowledge and connections in the industry to gain me a great property that has already appreciated a lot in value. I got a good property in a great location and I would recommend her to anyone.
Yesterday saw settlement on the above unit. Our first investment property! (read ‘first of many’).
Frances and I would like to thank you both for your diligent work, assistance and professional service. With your help we were able to purchase a property within a month of our second daughter being born and 24 days after I attended one of your Property Investment Briefings.
Now it is a question of taking a deep breath, letting the dust settle and then contacting you to see about a second investment. In the meantime, if you come across a property you think we should know about, please contact us.
From our initial meeting with Leon to our eventual purchase, we could not have been more satisfied with the service we received.
Tracey our Buyer’s Agent worked very hard to get us the property we acquired, a great size one-bedder at a competitive price in a middle-ring suburb of Sydney.
Thanks so much to the team at Metropole, especially Tracey, and Leon, we are very happy with our purchase and would have no problem recommending your services.
Many thanks.
This is the first time I have used Metropole to purchase a property, and in a word, I have found the whole experience “easy”. Leon and Dona are great to deal with and nothing is a problem.
They found properties in suburbs that I normally would not consider, and I’m very happy with my purchase. I also decided to deal with companies associated with Metropole, i.e. financial, legal, etc. and this also saved me so much time and effort, as they worked well together to make the purchase happen without issues.
Also thanks to Michael for his advice in setting up a property strategy for the future.
Property management
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your hard work in regard to the sale of Lisson Manor in Wooloowin. As you know I have business relations with a number of Buyer’s Agents in Brisbane but consider you to be up there with the best I have worked with. Your enthusiasm for real estate is obvious as is your endeavour to get the best possible property, at the best possible price, for your clients. Not only would I be happy to recommend you to my clients, I would actively encourage them to use your services in order to secure the right property.
Thank you for all you have done to assist in this important step in our lives. Your commitment to supporting us has been a welcome breath of fresh air amongst such average performance of others. You are excellent at what you do! Wishing you all the very best!
The staff have been nothing but friendly and helpful during my entire rental application experience. I could not rate them high enough as the entire rental application process I went through was a breeze. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to buy or rent a property as I’m sure they would provide you with the perfect standard of customer service as they have for me.
The guys at Metropole have been a dream to work with in the transition into our new home me and my housemates need to thank everyone involved for getting us in on such short notice. A great real estate to work with, highly recommend their services.
We sincerely thank you and your team for the customer service, which has exceeded our expectations. We will have additional Brisbane properties managed by Metropole in the future, and be sure to recommend your service to others.
Thank you very much for your excellent advice and management, now and during the last years when you have been taking care of our property. At all times we felt that all issues had been handled with extreme care and diligence.
Really appreciate the time and walk-through with the process and considering that we are in a different state, you have made the process really easy. I was really satisfied with the level of engagement and detail that you have provided. I was also really impressed with how fast you were able to secure a tenant within a day after the settlement of the property.
Looking forward to continuing working with you and Metropole.
As an interstate landlord, I trust Metropole Property Management to look after our Melbourne interests. Their service and communication are first-rate.
Wealth advisory
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole team in the Metropole group for the incredible work they do.
I have been so impressed by them that along the way I have used their Strategy and Wealth Advisory services (in fact, it all started with these), Michael’s mentorship program, and moved my whole portfolio across to their Property Management team to provide a truly holistic approach to my investment strategy.
It goes without saying that I especially would like to thank Michael for his incredible knowledge and experience, and his mindset messages which are priceless.
I have worked with other accounting specialists but none have been as insightful or knowledgeable as Ken. I learned so much from him.
He blows my mind – he is so creative in the way he can develop an airtight strategy – he looks at your situation from every perspective. I can see why he is in high demand. He has helped me so much in my moving forward.
My real challenge before meeting with Ken Raiss from Metropole Wealth Advisory was getting good tax and property advice from other professionals that I had previously met with. I was after and needed help on my complex tax and property development matters.
I had previously been looking at different organisations but found it difficult to find the right person who had the understanding and expertise to help me in my situation. I was hearing the same thing from advisers I was seeing.
I wanted to engage in an organisation that could teach me something new and give me good solid advice on the more complicated issues, and grow and protect my business.
I initially came across Ken by listening to his podcasts. I liked what I had heard and decided to contact Metropole Wealth Advisory.
After I met with Ken I was impressed. I was able to get very helpful advice – some new strategies that I had never heard of before. I feel I now have direction. I feel I have learned a lot from Ken and have a clearer understanding of where I need to go moving forward.
