Why Use a Self Storage Unit

Self storage units may seem like an unusual thing to use for many people. Those with large homes, sheds, basements, garages and large, easily accessible attic space typically have the room to store extra items that they do not use on a regular basis. So why even bother paying for storage space?

• When homes are being put on the market, the first thing real estate agents recommend is to declutter. This opens up the home and frees the space within it, so prospective buyers can get an accurate idea of size and be able to imagine their own things in the home. Uncluttered homes look bigger and cleaner also.
• When people are moving from one location to another, especially if the move is temporary or the final destination is not ready, putting items in storage for a period of time is a great option instead of selling everything and starting over.
• For students away at college, putting belongings in storage between semesters saves time, cost and inconvenience.
• For those who are downsizing but do not want to get rid of certain belongings, a storage unit is a good option to safely keep items that they may want in the future or may want to leave to their heirs.
• Units are also used by those who inherit items that cannot be incorporated into their homes. While looking for a better destination for such items, a storage unit does the trick nicely.
• Businesspeople with excess stock on hand often use storage units to hold such items, until space becomes available in the business for them.
• Businesses that have tight quarters store non-essential items and old files in self storage units.

There are endless reasons that a person or a business might need a self storage unit. They fill a need that is created by today’s society. We all have too much stuff and need some place to put it.
