About the Company
Metropolitan Property Group LLC (MPG) is a licensed Michigan commercial real estate and business brokerage firm headquartered in Metro Detroit. We specialize in off-market acquisitions, bars and restaurants, retail, industrial, multifamily, land development, and business brokerage across Oakland, Wayne, Lapeer, Gennesee and Macomb counties.
MPG was built by an operator, not a desk broker. Our founder bought a failing restaurant in 1995, turned it around, and sold it seven years later for a 10x return. That experience — from the kitchen up — is the foundation of how we represent buyers and sellers today.
With 20+ years of commercial real estate experience and 500+ properties in our history, MPG brings deal-level intelligence, off-market access, and operator credibility to every transaction. We don't just list businesses — we understand them.
Our off-market protocol protects sellers completely. No property name, address, or identifying detail is released until a signed NCNDA and verified proof of funds are received. Every buyer is vetted. Every deal is structured to close.
Active specialties:
- Bar & Restaurant Sales
- Business Brokerage
- Commercial Acquisitions (Retail, Industrial, Multifamily)
- Land Development
- Off-Market Deal Sourcing
- Lease Negotiation & Tenant Representation
Metro Detroit. Oakland, Wayne & Macomb Counties.
Broker Biography
Introduction
I bought a failing restaurant in 1995. Nobody gave me a roadmap. I learned operations, managed staff, fixed the books, rebuilt the customer base, and ran it for seven years before selling for a 10x return on my original investment.
That deal didn't just change my financial life — it showed me exactly what business brokers were missing: operators who understand what they're actually selling.
I've spent the last 20+ years in commercial real estate and business brokerage across Metro Detroit, completing 500+ transactions spanning bars, restaurants, retail centers, industrial properties, multifamily buildings, and development land. Every deal I take on gets the same operator-level scrutiny I applied to my own.
WHAT MAKES MPG DIFFERENT
Most brokers list businesses. We evaluate them.
Before we take a listing or bring an offer, we look at the real numbers — not the adjusted EBITDA a seller wants you to believe in, but the actual cash flow, the lease risk, the license status, the equipment condition, and the transition exposure. We ask the questions buyers forget to ask until it's too late.
On the buy side, we run the same process in reverse. We protect our buyers from overpaying, from bad lease structures, and from deals that look clean until the due diligence window opens.
OFF-MARKET ACCESS
The majority of what we transact never hits a public marketplace. Our off-market buyer registry connects qualified, capital-ready buyers to opportunities before they're publicly listed — often before the seller has made a final decision. If you're a serious buyer looking for bars, restaurants, or commercial properties in Oakland, Wayne, or Macomb counties, register with us directly.
Our seller-protection protocol is non-negotiable: zero identifying information is released without a signed NCNDA and verified proof of funds. We don't shop deals. We close them.
