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 liability

Auctioneer Webinar Series: Personal Items, Personal Property & Abandoned Units
Personal Property & Personal Items
What is the difference between a personal item and personal property? Do state statutes define the rems? What is a storage operator's responsibility regarding personal items and personal property? Can you sell personal items? How do you dispose of personal items? We will answer all of these questions and more regarding the property stored in the unit.

Abandoned Units
Have you ever wondered when a unit is considered abandoned? What is the difference between an abandoned unit and a unit for auction? While every situation is different, this session will explore some possible scenarios and how to approach them. We will also learn if there are specific state regulations regarding units that are left behind.

Auctioneer Webinar Series: New Legislation: Unsigned Rental Agreements
In an industry where ownership changes hands frequently, finding unsigned rental agreements is not uncommon. It is a major pain point for many operators that the self storage statutes have not addressed for a long time. Given the time and cost of legal eviction proceedings, many operators have chosen to risk the liability of enforcing a lien on an unsigned rental agreement. In recent years, the industry has begun addressing this issue and adding provisions to the statutes. While the changes have not yet reached all 50 states, several now have a legal remedy available to them. Those states are listed below. This webinar will address what self storage operators need to do in these states upon discovering an unsigned rental agreement.

Included: CA, GA, ID, IL, IA, KS, LA, OK, TN, UT, and VA
Pending: MI

Auctioneer Webinar Series: Items You Cannot Sell at a Self Storage Lien Sale
It is not unusual to find items in a storage unit that require a license to sell. Additionally, the sale of some items poses a risk to health and safety. As an agent of a commercial sale, a self storage operator is not only bound by self storage statutes, but also many other laws governing the contents of a unit. These items include firearms, alcohol and tobacco, cosmetics, medical devices, food products, and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

This session will help you navigate the proper steps to follow when you discover a prohibited item in a defaulted unit.

Auctioneer Webinar Series: Statutorily Required Rental Agreement Contents
Most storage operators know that they must send letters and run legal ads. Most probably know the timelines and contents for these actions. What many may not be aware of is the specific statutory requirements for your rental agreement.

While your self-storage rental agreements should always be reviewed and drafted by an industry-experienced attorney, it is also important for storage operators to know what your statute requires you to include in your rental agreement to meet the qualifications to process your lien. Most states have specific requirements for what you must have included in your rental agreement. These include specific verbiage passages, font and text requirements, and specific questions or disclosures.

This presentation will help you identify where to find your statute and where to look for rental agreement requirements. This session is designed to improve your overall knowledge of the statutes and help you identify possible shortcomings of your rental agreement. If you find you are not meeting these most basic requirements, it is imperative you consult with an attorney immediately.
