Frequently Asked Questions
How is a self-storage facility valued in Kern County, CA?
Storage facilities are primarily valued using a capitalization rate (cap rate) applied to the net operating income. We also factor in unit count, unit mix (climate-controlled vs. standard), occupancy history, and the competitive landscape in Kern County.
Can I sell my storage facility if occupancy is below 70%?
Yes. We buy storage facilities at any occupancy level. Low occupancy may reflect deferred marketing or management rather than a market problem, and we account for upside potential in our offer.
Do I need to provide financial records to get an offer?
Basic income and expense information helps us make the most accurate offer. However, we can make a preliminary offer based on unit count, occupancy estimate, and location while we gather additional details.
What happens to existing tenants and their belongings?
All existing rental agreements transfer to the new owner at closing. Your tenants continue their leases uninterrupted, and no one needs to move out.
Are there environmental concerns with selling a storage facility?
Standard storage facilities typically have minimal environmental risk. If your property has fuel storage, a maintenance shop, or formerly housed hazardous materials, we can still make an offer after reviewing the specifics.
How long does it take to close on a self-storage facility sale?
Most storage facility sales close in 14 to 30 days. The timeline depends on lease documentation, title clearance, and any due diligence needed for the property in Kern County.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
