We've sat in every seat at the table.
Advisor, buyer and operator. We know where value is won and lost in a storage sale, and we fight for every dollar of it.
- 01
We know how buyers underwrite.
Our team has underwritten billions of dollars of self-storage acquisitions. We know the assumptions behind every bid, and we build your sale to move each one in your favor, toward the highest price a buyer can justify.
- 02
We sell the upside, not just the history.
Buyers pay for what a facility can become. We've operated storage, so we show them the rate growth, expense savings and expansion potential they'd otherwise discount.
- 03
We know how deals get built.
Price is one term among many. When a straight sale isn't the best answer, we've closed earn-outs, holdbacks, seller financing, sale-leasebacks and entity sales.
- 04
We know what you'll keep.
We're the only self-storage advisory that structures tax deferral before the sale. Eight structures, built to defer capital gains and depreciation recapture, and in some cases eliminate them, planned while every option is still open.
Structures we have executed
- Earn-outs
- Holdbacks
- Structured sales
- Recapitalizations
- Sale-leasebacks
- Entity sales
- Seller financing
Exit strategy or sales strategy. Same call, and you decide which one it is.
Case studies
Outcomes, not adjectives.
Real facilities, real sellers, and what actually happened between the first call and the wire.
It's exactly like you laid out that it would be.
Scott Sold two self-storage facilities in South Georgia This is where we need to be to sell it. And you were able to deliver that off market.
Grant Reaves Sold a Fairhope, Alabama self-storage facility off market Pre-Sale Strategy Session
Thirty minutes that can change what you keep from the sale.
A confidential call with Oakside's founders. We narrow the seven deferral structures beyond the 1031 to the two or three that fit your facility, and run the number you actually need after closing.
