Storage managers
Argus Professional Storage Management
Argus Self Storage Advisors is a national network of brokers who work on self-storage property and nothing else, and third-party management sits in that same lineup of services. Owners come to Argus to sell a facility, to buy one, or to put an operator on a facility they keep.
The services are organised around a transaction: seller services, buyer services, the transaction process, third party management, and debt and equity. Sellers get valuation, help preparing the facility for sale, and a detailed property presentation and brochure; buyers reach listings through the broker affiliate network.
Marketing runs on a national platform rather than out of one office. Argus advertises monthly in Mini Storage Messenger, Inside Self Storage and The SSA Globe, participates in conventions and trade shows, publishes the Market Monitor print newsletter and the Alert e-newsletter to self-storage professionals, and runs a centralised call center on 1-800-55-STORE that routes buyers and sellers to the local Argus broker affiliate.
Argus reports 4,107 self-storage properties sold, 43 specialised brokers and 97 current listings. The firm works from Greenwood Village, Colorado, and recruits brokers as Argus Broker Affiliates. Management fees and brokerage commissions are not published.
Best for
Self-storage owners who want a broker or operator that handles storage exclusively, whether selling, buying, or keeping a facility with someone else running it. Owners of mixed commercial property will want a generalist instead.
