Self Storage auctions are booming in popularity, and many people looking to get in on the action search the Web for upcoming auctions. It has made sites like findselfstorageauctions.com a frequently-visited stomping ground on the Internet for self storage auction enthusiasts. And it has attracted the attention of storage associations looking to hook up with the site and streamline their states auction listing process. The Tennessee Self Storage Association (TNSSA) recently became the first state to partner with Find Self Storage Auctions.
It has meant bringing Tennessee one step closer to combining their state’s auction listings into a single database. When state associations team up with the website they create an official source of storage auctions in the state that are free to the public to search and helps guarantee the accuracy and integrity of the listed information. The public no longer has the need to search multiple websites to find listings for auctions. By using findselfstorageauctions.com, the amount of time it takes the public to find a storage auction is significantly reduced.
“Our Board immediately saw the value of this partnership and the benefits it would bring to our members. Find Self Storage Auctions provides our owners an additional, and very affordable, venue to advertise their lien sales. This partnership will allow the association to be the ‘official’ source of auction listings in Tennessee. It is important that the public know where to get trusted information,” said Dee Sharp, the TNSSA 2010 and 2011 board president.
In a high-tech, information-driven society, helping the public quickly locate an auction listing is crucial to the success of the self storage auction process. Taking a unit to auction is a cumbersome process that takes time and financial resources. Advertising the auction should not be an additional burden. Findselfstorageauctions .com offers maximum online exposure and self storage operators can list an auction as far in advance as they need. With lien law changes sweeping through many states it is a good opportunity to modernize the entire listing process and take advantage of the vast reach of the internet.
“While any Tennessee self-storage facility may list an auction on the site, association members will receive a substantial discount in the listing price. The Board of Directors views its partnership with Find Self Storage Auctions as an additional member benefit. We anticipate the TNSSA conversion to be complete no later than March 4th, 2011,” Sharp said.
FindSelfStorageAuctions.com was created in 2009 by Richard Marmor, member of the board of directors of the Arizona Self Storage Association and noted self-storage lien law author, and James Appleton, Technology & Communications Chair of the Arizona Association, and technical expert in website design/development and search engine optimization (SEO).
