Statistics show a well staged and clutter-free home spends 50% less time on the market. Self storage offers a great place to store
extra belongings while homes are on the market. Our affordable storage options coupled with our month-to-month leasing policy means
there are no long-term commitments. Our customers only pay for the space that they need and only for as long as they need it. Here
are some expert tips on how self storage can be used to help stage a home:
-
Store extra pieces of furniture and knick-knacks so rooms appear larger
-
Store bulky pet items and furniture to alleviate apprehension from not-so-pet-friendly prospective home buyers
-
Clear out or better organize a cluttered garage or basement to show off all that extra square footage to potential buyers
-
Help prospective buyers visualize a house as their home by storing a lot of personal belongings, such as personal artwork,
photographs and other items that may only appeal to a specific type of person
-
A clutter-free home will stand out (in a good way) against other local homes for sale. If a home is well presented then there
is an increased chance that the owners will achieve the optimum sale price. Statistics show that a well staged home sells for
at least 7% more than a comparable non-staged home

throwing away expensive furniture
