Facility Requirements

  • Our management service, is only intended for unattended/automated self storage facilities; we have no program for facilities with onsite, full-time managers.
  • We require the facility to use a common self storage management software such as StorEdge, Sitelink or any software compatible with Call Potential (ask us about your management software).
  • We require the facility to accept credit card payments. Checks and money orders can be mailed to our bookkeeping office for processing. No cash payments can be taken. We can arrange for signage to be placed at the facility (“Three Ways to Pay!”) so that tenants clearly understand how payments can be made (and how to contact our management team).

Owner Responsibilities

  • Provide a local maintenance source*
  • Owner will be required to either purchase or reimburse our purchase of:
  • New locks for placement in vacant units (our program includes providing a free lock to new tenants)
  • New combination overlocks and asset tags for managing the overlock/auction process.

*If no local maintenance resource has been secured, our management team can arrange to handle this for an additional expense.
