Facility Manager’s Guide to the Best Online Storage Auction Results
A self-storage operator wears many hats and usually heads up each department at the facility. One of these many departments is the dreaded lien enforcement or auction department. Managers must know the lien laws step-by-step and how to have a successful online sale. These processes can be daunting and intimidating, to say the least. Do you want to do more with your auctions? Do you want to have the best auction results in your organization?
StorageTreasures has collected many years of auction results and turned this information into data-backed best practices we can use to guide you through the auction process. Have you ever wondered what is the best day of the week to have an auction or how many days your listing should be active?
Also, we want an opportunity to ensure you are up to date on how to use the latest features and enhancements StorageTreasures has to offer to streamline the auction process.
There are three major sections of a lien sale: before the sale, the sale, and after the sale. Before the sale consists of late phone calls, sending verified letters, running legal ads, and more. This webinar will focus on the last two sections, the auction itself and what happens after the sale. Additional resources will be provided for you to return to the office armed with the tools for your next round of auctions.
Please join us to learn the strategies for meeting the following goals for your online storage auctions:
• Higher sale prices
• Less unsold units
• Lower clean-out fees
• More open, rentable space
• Reducing unclaimed units
• Successfully selling to backup bidders
• Reducing sale liabilities

Auctioneer Webinar Series: Deceased & Active Military Tenants
Grasping self-storage lien laws is difficult enough. It is incredibly confusing when storage operators are bound by two or even three sets of laws regarding delinquent tenants. There are laws outside of self-storage that govern many things, but this session will focus on deceased tenants who are active-duty military personnel.
Below are some questions that we will answer during this presentation:
1. Who can I allow to access a deceased tenant's unit?
2. What should I do if my deceased tenant does not have a will?
3. How can I learn legal procedures concerning a deceased tenant's estate?
4. When can I sell the unit of a deceased tenant?
5. Who is considered Active Military Personnel?
6. How do I know if a tenant is considered Active Military Personnel?
7. How do I determine if a tenant is on active duty?
8. Do active duty personnel's family members receive special consideration?
9. When can I begin lien enforcement on a tenant removed from active duty status?
10. Do I need special provisions in my rental agreement concerning active military personnel?
This webinar will answer those questions and explain the rules surrounding deceased and active military tenants. We will have time for everyone's questions at the end of the webinar.
