Third-Party Management for Self Storage Success

Since 2008, SmartStop Self Storage has grown to become one of the most recognizable brands in the business, with more than 150 locations across the U.S. and 20 locations in Canada, hundreds of five-star reviews, and national awards and recognitions.

As a partner, you’ll get access to our brand platform, cutting-edge digital marketing team, proprietary pricing tools, first-rate field staff, call centre agents, reporting dashboard, and more — allowing you to focus on the big picture of your investments rather than the day-to-day operations.

We’re often told by partners that what distinguishes us from our competitors is our bespoke approach. In other words, unlike the cookie-cutter approach of other self storage operators with thousands of locations, we’re able to devote an extensive amount of time to each of our properties, with personalised attention and care. At the end of the day, your success is also ours, so we like to pass on the same resources and strategies to our own facilities and our third-party-managed properties.

To ensure you’re getting the most out of the platform we’ve built with our customers and the public at large, we’ll need to set up SmartStop signage and other branding elements on your property. Setup costs vary, depending on the condition of the facility. SmartStop covers rebranding costs pursuant to a multi-year agreement.

We’ll work one-on-one with you to craft a bespoke budget for your property, using comparisons from similar SmartStop Self Storage properties to estimate cost savings and project occupancy and revenue. At no point will there be hidden fees — we always include a detailed breakdown so you know exactly what your costs are.

We’re always open to acquiring the properties we manage, especially when they’re located in areas that align with our long-term investment and growth strategy. Feel free to reach out to our acquisitions team to learn more about the selling process or speak with a team member in greater detail.
