Metrocity Realty
What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
Metrocity Realty is based on Melbourne Street in South Brisbane and holds a 4.5 average from over 600 reviews. Investment services manager Shelby Tucker draws repeated, detailed praise for guiding owners converting properties into rentals, and Ben Jackson is described by repeat investors as the best sales agent they have dealt with, with Richard credited for caring long-term management.
Against that, a couple of negative reviews describe a chaotic rental application process and an awkward inspection conducted while outgoing occupants were still living in the property. The overall picture is a capable investor-focused agency with occasional coordination lapses.

I have had a great experience with both Greg and Ben Jackson in the many years that i have known them. I purchased my unit back in 2011 and have never regretted it. I am now selling it and am more than happy to put it in their hands. Would recommend this agency to anyone.
Mr. Kieran Song provided exceptional service throughout our rental journey. Professional, responsive, and trustworthy, he made everything stress-free. Metrocity Realty South Brisbane truly delivers outstanding customer service and expertise.
We’ve had an excellent experience with Metrocity Realty both purchasing and managing investment property. Ben Jackson is hands down the best real estate agent I’ve dealt with. Professional, knowledgeable, genuine and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. We also lease our investment property through Metrocity Realty, and Richard O’Sullivan has been amazing to deal with. He made the entire leasing process simple and stress-free while achieving an excellent outcome with tenants and handling all the admin side seamlessly. Highly recommend the team at Metrocity Realty. Great communication, professional service and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish.
Richard has been managing my property now for 5 months. I enjoy the fast responses and the way he makes sure all the legal requirements are fulfilled.
My husband and I felt compelled to write a review about Sophie and Metro Realty. We were tenants at one of the properties Sophie managed. She truly went above and beyond to help us. Both Sophie and Metro Realty have provided us with a level of service that we have never experienced before as long term renters. We would strongly recommend Sophie and Metro Realty to any renter or landlord. Thanks!
Applied for rental property on 23rd February and after my relocation manager had to chase and chase for even a basic response, it was clear that Metrocity had no idea what was going on with the application. One minute it was with the owner to next minute the property is being listed for inspections again - all while we are told "it is with the owner". Fast forward to 12 March some 18 DAYS after applying they told us we didn't get it. If I was the owner, I would be asking what they are actually paying your team for if you do not even know what is going on with the property - the very same property you were in charge of finding a tenant for. Either that or you were deliberately disingenuous and had no intention of accepting our application. After raising the lack of communication/update from the firm, they decided to blame the busy market. I note, however, that other realty agents responded within 72 hours of application. Every realtor/listing is busy so to use this generic excuse is not valid. I'll be advising friends/contacts moving over to Brisbane to avoid any listings by this firm. It is one thing to wait an excessive amount of time with mixed messaging but also for them to accept no responsibility for the lack of care/transparency and overall professional service is another. Absolutely shambolic.
Richard O'Sullivan and his team at Metrocity have always managed our rental properties professionally and with care. Richard's experienced rental insights and advice have been invaluable over the years. He's a calm, steady influence in what can be a challenging process for landlords.
