Why owners choose Oakside

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  • When we decided to sell again in 2026, there was no question who we would call.

    Donna G Mark M and Donna G 43rd Street Self-Storage Success Story

    Jacob D Jacob D Tiger Drive Self Storage
