About Oakside

Storage is the only thing we do.

Oakside is a national sell-side advisory firm for owners of self-storage, boat and RV storage assets. Every engagement is led by a senior member of the firm.

Who
we are

OAKSIDE is a national advisory-focused commercial real estate firm dedicated exclusively to Self-Storage and Boat & RV assets.

We're built for owners who want more than a traditional brokerage experience. Our team blends investment-banking-level analysis with real operator expertise, delivering strategies that are deeply informed, data-driven, and aligned with each client's unique objectives.

Unlike large, generalist brokerages built around volume and standardized playbooks, Oakside provides senior-level attention, deep sector expertise, and a tailored approach from the first conversation through closing, ensuring every engagement receives the focus required to maximize value.

With a national footprint and decades of transaction and operating experience, we partner with owners to uncover and unlock value at every stage of the investment lifecycle.

What that means for your sale

01

A number buyers can defend

Brokerage taught us what the market will bear. Acquisitions taught us how buyers actually build a price: rebuilt NOI, normalized expenses, supply rings, debt capacity, and a required return. We underwrite your facility the same way before it goes to market, so the price we take out holds up in an investment committee.
02

A banker's process, not a listing

Investment banking taught us how to create competition. That means a curated buyer pool, materials built to be underwritten, and a single bid date that puts buyers against each other instead of one at a time.
03

The tax conversation comes first

Most owners hear about their tax options from an accountant after the money has already moved. We bring the structures beyond the 1031 into the first conversation, narrow them down to the two or three that fit, and work alongside your CPA rather than around them.

We are not a registered investment advisor and do not provide investment advice, but we can help sellers understand options they may not know about.
