Mike Franklin
B.Sc. MRICS GAICD
Principal & Managing Director
I am passionate about providing conflict-free, innovative and highly professional real estate advice to commercial and industrial occupiers. With over 30 years tenant advisory and tenant representation experience in Australian and overseas markets I have seen every twist and turn conceivable in commercial real estate and technology, allowing me to counsel our clients about trends and long-term vision. Occupier-focused advisory and transactional services have been my specialty throughout my career, and I will refine and negotiate real estate contracts until I am satisfied your company’s best interests have been met.
As a qualified Chartered Surveyor, I worked for many years at Director level for larger, multi-national real estate service providers and identified a growing need for truly independent corporate real estate advice. leading to the launch of Franklin Property Consulting in 2011. In 2014, to service the needs of a wide range of multi-national clients and to provide a comprehensive advisory service, Franklin Property Consulting and Chapman Shanks merged to create Franklin Shanks.
Throughout life I have worked hard at creating a true work / life balance that allows me to provide rounded advice to my clients. As a keen blue water sailor with trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific crossings under my belt I am a lateral thinker and problem solver.

“Franklin Shanks understand that the relationship between Landlord and Tenant is important and must be managed carefully. If either party feels aggrieved, the lease term will not be positive for one or both parties. Regardless, how difficult the commerce, I’ve always found that Franklin Shanks have been able to ensure the parties understand each other and commence and perpetuate their relationships positively.”
