Resources for Self Storage Owners
Operating a self storage facility involves a wide range of decisions — from pricing and marketing to expansion, modernization, and long-term planning.
Sperry Self Storage works closely with facility owners and regularly shares insights related to storage operations, ownership, and investment strategy.
Many self storage facilities across the United States are still owned and operated by individual entrepreneurs or families who have managed the property for decades.
As technology, marketing strategies, and operational systems continue to evolve, many owners are exploring ways to modernize their facilities, improve revenue, or transition ownership.
The resources below are designed to provide helpful information for storage owners evaluating their options.

Selling a storage facility can involve a variety of considerations, including valuation, taxes, and transaction structures.
This guide explains the key steps involved in selling a storage facility and what owners should consider before entering the market.

Not every owner wants to sell their facility outright. In some situations, a partnership with an experienced operator can provide operational expertise and capital for improvements while allowing the owner to remain invested in the property.

Some facility owners explore installment sale structures that allow them to sell a property while receiving payments over time rather than in a single lump sum.
Self storage owners frequently explore topics such as:
Property value is often influenced by occupancy levels, rental rates, operating expenses, and the potential for operational improvements or expansion.
Many older storage facilities have opportunities to increase revenue through modern marketing strategies, online rentals, dynamic pricing, and improved customer access.
Many properties have excess land that can be used for additional units, RV storage, or covered parking. Strategic expansion can significantly increase both revenue and long-term property value.
Sperry Self Storage focuses on acquiring and improving independently operated storage facilities where modernization, operational improvements, and expansion can unlock long-term value.
Our team regularly evaluates storage properties throughout the Western United States and works directly with facility owners exploring options related to selling, partnering, or improving their properties.
If you own a self storage facility and are exploring ways to improve operations, expand the property, or transition ownership, we would welcome the opportunity to connect.
