Metropolitan Real Estate

I had the pleasure of working with Mike Shannon for the sale of a house, and I couldn't be more impressed with his professionalism and expertise. Mike demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market, which was evident in his strategic pricing and marketing of our property. His communication was exceptional; he kept us informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. One of Mike's standout qualities is his negotiation skill—he managed to secure a deal that exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail ensured a smooth transaction and a quick closing. I highly recommend Mike Shannon to anyone looking to sell their home effectively and efficiently. He is not just a realtor; he is a trusted partner in the selling process.

Metropolitan real estate has been a fantastic management company for my properties. They take a long-term and sustainable approach to repairing houses and have lots of expetise with city-specific regulations and relationships with professional contractors who get the job done right. If you're interested in attracting great tenants, Mike Shannon and his team have your back.

Some of his achievements for me over the past 3 years:
- Increased revenue 30%

-Brought repeated vacancies and evictions down to 0 (first time since I started in 2012)

-Decreased annual repair/maintenance costs by 80% (it was expensive to FIX IT RIGHT upfront but pays off long term!). He is very cost-effective in tenant proofing the house.

-Attracts reliable tenants and doesn't nickle and dime them with random fees.

-The properties are beautiful inside and out, and he successfully identified risks that could've been catastrophic. I'm an out-of-town owner, so I sleep well knowing I've got management that cares for my tenants' and properties' well-being. If you're committed to being a slumlord, look elsewhere.

-As a local agent, he works hard to build professional relationships with city halls. He understands their requirements and can meet or exceed their standards without a lot of back and forth.

Many thanks to Michael Shannon, for his professionalism and dedicated service to our family. I met Michael through a senior relative for whom he had been providing excellent service and educated guidance for many, many years. To the extent of checking on her and bringing a gift basket during the height of the covid situation. Even though she did not always listen to his advice (Or appreciate the gift), he continued to be an active participant in maintaining her property, providing quality service. He provided that same level of care and service to me and my husband when we had real estate needs. Kudos.

I am very happy with Mike Shannon and his team at Metropolitan Real Estate. We received an far above what we expected. And couldn't be happier with the work they did.

Mike is literally a miracle worker. I didn't know anything about renting. I told him that the day I met him. My first rental encounter was taking over a friend's old lease. Yeah never recommended doing that ever. He told me all about what to expect and what I should be looking for and what people try to pull. He stopped the person that we were trying to sign with from upping the price with out us knowing. He was hands on there when people do work on property's and will literally answer your call or text whenever.

We met with Mike about looking for our house he really took into consideration what we were looking for he didn’t push us into anything. I would highly recommend Mike for your future realtor he is very helpful.

Mike Shannon has been a Godsend for me. His professionalism in managing my second home has been second to none. He has been perfect. I have a job that requires me to travel an excessive amount and the last thing I needed was dealing with my old house. Mike was unbelievable. Any issue that came up…. No matter when…. No matter what time… Mike would reach out to me, tell me, explain his options to fix the issue and he would take care of it! Dealing with your local city/ with your tenants/ with the paperwork/ with permits and such…. Mike took all that stress off of me. I cannot express enough how he made it so easy to manage a rental property and even selling said property. I NEVER do reviews but I recommend Mike Shannon to anyone who needs a property manager or selling a home!!

From start to finish Mike and his staff were fabulous! He had resources available to repair things as needed that helped sell my Dads house. More than that he was kind and respectful to my Dad who is elderly and hard of hearing. He was patient and accommodating to my Dad and to our family. I will call him when we sell next year! I’ve told several co workers about his willingness to make things easy for all of us!

Fabulous experience with Mike and his staff at Metropolitan Real Estate!

Mike Shannon is more than just a “landlord.” He and his employees are very professional and extremely friendly. Anytime I needed anything, he was there with a solution. I recommend him and his company for anyone looking at buying or renting!

I have been with Metropolitian real estate and for over four years now. There is no one I could of asked for better than Mike Shannon. Mike is an amazing and very friendly responsive agent. He is very helpful and always there when i need him. I really appreciate Mikes services and his high quality responsiveness.Mike does his best to meet my apartment needs and takes great care of our apartment that we rent from Metropolitian real estate. I recommend Mike Shannon to be a dependable responsible real estate agent that will meet all your needs!

Metropolitan Real Estate Agency run by Mike Shannon is a professional organization. They understand the need of the person and are very reposnive to the tenant's need. I rented an apartment from them and it was very clean and well managed. I have to break my lease before the term ended and when I explained the reason to Mike, he worked with me and helped me out. A very kind landlord and a nice person.

I'll highly recommend him for your rreal estate needs.

I was so fortunate to have found Michael Shannon when I decided to move. As my Realtor, he helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient as I looked at several homes and cautioned me about making unreasonable offers. He was always on my side working to make my house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Mike was that he was always more focused on answering my questions, giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than he was on closing a deal. I would recommend him to anyone.

So I’m a typical person looking for a place to move going into the new year. I found this convenient duplex not far from work. Set up an appointment and hear I was. Metropolitan Real Estate, Mike met me with no hesitation. When I say the apartment was just like the photos that’s exactly what it was!!! I love the place, he allowed me complete the application only and I was able to provide all the information needed within 1 hr. I had my update the next morning. I been with them for 5 months and they are the best landlords I have ever had! I haven’t had any issues and Mike has always a text or call away. Great People!!!

I had lived in my house for over 30 years and had fallen behind in repairs. I couldn’t see a way out. Mike Shannon came in and knew exactly what to do. He looked at what money I had for improvements, prioritized it, and arranged for the work to be done. From experience he knew exactly where to price the house and it got multiple offers. Mike was very patient and always asking if I needed help with anything. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mike really knows the Real Estate Business! Experienced, friendly personality and just getting things done when all the glitches happen when you are buying or selling. Also a great property manager that watches your pocketbook as if it were his own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Mike was great with the sale of my dads house and helped me as much as he could with probate. Literally made the whole process painless.

It is challenging to find a trustworthy property management company especially when living in a different state. Michael Shannon and his team at Metropolitan Real Estate has made the process of managing our property very comfortable. They follow through with what needs to be done and communicate on the status of our property on a regular basis. I find this very refreshing and will certainly be seeking their guidance should we have future property management needs.

We worked with Rob Cox and he was outstanding! We could not have asked for a better agent for our first home purchase. Rob took so much time and care with us, that we feel so much more prepared to take on our new home. Super responsive and knowledgeable. We will definitely be referring Rob to our friends and family, and we will be going back for our next purchase for sure.

I am so appreciative of Mike who had awesome professionals come to finally fix up the many, many issues I was facing in my rental for years. I am so relieved and so thankful. The whole experience with Metropolitan was great. Thank you so much!

I’ve worked with Mike and his team for years and they’re always very professional, easy to work with and pay on time. Excellent property management company. I highly recommend them.
