STRATEGY

The Self Storage industry is a top line business.  Your cost of operation is relatively fixed whether your property is full or empty.  It is also a niche within the real estate industry that is retail in nature and more management intensive than it looks.  Having the systems in place to hold down expenses through hardnosed management practices and economies of scale is important.  Driving the top line with our advanced marketing and sales conversion techniques is a critical component to your self storage success.  We're not just managing your property.  We're managing your business.

SAFETY

Preserving the statutory limit of our liability for customer's goods is an essential tenet of our industry.  The self storage lien laws are very specific in the way collections are managed and customer goods are processed in collecting debts and getting our storage units back from non-paying customers.  Protecting your asset from liability requires a strict adherence to sophisticated operating guidelines.

SOLID

We are principals in the industry who understand the care and feeding required of the physical plant to maximize your curb appeal, the merchandising of your self storage product, and maintaining the long term value of your asset.

SUCCESS

Getting Started - Site Review & Market Study

In taking responsibility for the success of a new property, we begin by taking an assessment of what is.  We have the experience and perspective built into our start-up process that will help you discover the pitfalls inherent in the asset and within your current operation, and quantify the solutions. As well, we can help you appreciate and capitalize on the positive aspects of your operation and opportunities that the market and your site may provide.
