Metroprop (Pty) Ltd. Unclaimed

Metroprop was founded in 1939 and acquired by the current owners in 2009. It is our intent to become a provider of world-class service in the property management business. Our innovative business model integrates the customer service and management disciplines of the institutional property management industry at a local level. This unique approach and our commitment to hiring the very best professionals have resulted in strong business growth and our long-lasting tenure in the area, making us one of the most respected and trusted local property management companies. Because our business model focuses solely on the management of our rental properties, we’re able to concentrate our efforts to maintain a constant presence in local markets, creating value in all phases of the owner's management cycle. We have the same financial sophistication, institutional quality reporting and leading edge property management technology as many of the nation's largest property management companies, but our smaller size and local market expertise means that we can provide better service and be more responsive to both our tenants and our clients. Our dedication to redefining excellence in renting means we’re constantly exploring innovative ideas and pioneering new ways to serve our tenants and clients. OUR SERVICES OFFERING 1.
