First impressions are always important, especially when it comes to selling a home. A first impression of a home can be ruined instantly if the house is cluttered or unorganized.
Renting a self storage unit is a great asset for Realtors, as it allows them to store everything they need to be successful at their jobs in one convenient place.
Here are some benefits for realtors using self storage space:
One of the first things that needs to be addressed when selling a home is the space available within the home. When potential buyers come to see the home, if it is filled wall to wall with “stuff”, the house will feel smaller and, in turn, distract potential buyers from what the house has to offer.
By going through the home, room by room, especially garages, basements and closets, and decluttering, potential buyers can have a much better idea of how much space the house has.
The house should be de-personalized as much as possible. Family photos, personal items and any kind of unusual décor should be removed before the house is shown. These items can distract potential buyers and they may concentrate more on these than the actual house itself.
Self storage is a great storage solution for decluttering your client’s home. Not only will the appearance of the house be significantly improved, but the items that were removed from the home will be safe and secure with no worry of prized possessions going missing during showings or open houses.
With all of the items needed to be a successful realtor, such as brochures, banners, signs, etc., space within the office can become tight. A self storage unit is an affordable solution to keep your office clean and organized.
Extra commercial space to house these items can be very expensive. With a self storage unit, all of these extra items can be kept clean and secure and out of the way until they are needed again.
A self storage unit will also keep all of these items organized and in good shape. There will be no worry of items getting lost or misplaced. Keeping promotional items clean and in good shape is essential.
Staging a home can mean the difference in it selling quickly or sitting on the market for months. Staging a home can help people visualize themselves in the home and show them the potential it has.
Many realtor’s take on the task of staging a home themselves instead of hiring a company to do it. Investing in some staple pieces of furniture and décor to spruce up a home can make it more appealing to potential home buyers. These can be items such as chairs, tables, pictures, vases, etc.
Self storage is a great option to store this extra furniture in between uses. The larger pieces, especially, can be difficult to find a place for when not being used to stage a house. A self storage unit will keep all of these items out of your car, office and home and in a safe, clean environment while not being used.
Self-storage units are a very affordable option when looking for extra space. With drive-up access or climate-controlled storage units available in a wide range of sizes, there is something available to suit whatever your storage needs may be.
Security is very important to storage facilities. With fenced in, paved compounds, individual access code entry, security cameras, great lighting and mobile security patrols, you can rest assured that your client’s items are safe and secure.
Customer service is very important in every business, but especially if you are a realtor. Going the extra step for a customer can pay off big. Selling and buying a home can be very stressful for your clients.
By renting a self storage unit to have at your disposal whenever needed, you can allow your customers to use it and make their moving process less stressful. By going the extra mile, you’re sure to get a life long client with many referrals for years to come.
