Who We Work With

Built for the People Who Inherit the Problem

When a restaurant fails, changes hands, or lands in a court file, someone has to decide what to do with it. We help them decide quickly and on real market evidence.

Receivers & Trustees

Operate, sell as a going concern, or liquidate — and what each path nets.

Restructuring & Bankruptcy Counsel

Market evidence and realistic sale options for hospitality assets.

Bank Special Assets & Workout

Marketability, buyer demand, and recovery timing on restaurant collateral.

Landlords & Property Managers

Failed tenant, left-behind equipment, a second-generation space to re-tenant or sell.

CPAs & Business Advisors

Clients asking what their bar or restaurant is worth, or whether a purchase price holds up.

Probate & Liquor-License Attorneys

An operator dies or a license is in play — keep it running or sell it.

Services

What We Deliver

Each assignment is scoped in writing first: who the report is for, what is being evaluated, and what it will be used for.

Metropolitan Property Group provides brokerage market evaluations and advisory services. An MPG evaluation is an opinion of probable selling price based on market evidence and operating experience. It is not an appraisal, is not prepared under USPAP, and is not a certified business valuation or legal, tax, or accounting advice. Real estate appraisals and formal business valuations are prepared by independent licensed or credentialed professionals under their own engagements. Whether an advisory engagement permits MPG to later list or represent the same business is reviewed for conflicts at the outset.
