As a real estate agent, you have relationships with many other businesses, from banks and title companies to cleaners and landscapers. However, there’s one more business to consider working with, which is a self-storage provider. Renting a storage unit has a number of benefits for your business, potentially making it more efficient and more profitable. Below, learn how you can benefit from this service. 

How Real Estate Agents Benefit From Storage Units

1. Get Organized

Real estate agents likely have dozens of signs for advertising properties, including for sale signs and directional signs, to help prospective buyers find open houses. All of those signs, and the tools for installing them, take up space. By renting a storage unit, you can keep them all in one central location, and keep them organized so you can find them when you need them. Self-storage is also ideal for stashing away extra marketing materials like brochures, folders, business cards, and other boxes that would take up space in your office. 

2. Set the Stage

Staging is a key part of selling a home. Buyers want to see uncluttered, attractively decorated spaces, but the current owners may not have the right furniture and decor to show off their space. You may also be listing vacant spaces where buyers have trouble visualizing it with furniture. With a storage unit, you can keep staging supplies on hand, including furniture, artwork, accessories, and rugs, to use in your listed properties to entice buyers with an appealing and cozy space.

3. Build Better Relationships 

Renting a storage unit allows a real estate agent to offer more services to their clients. For instance, if a client needs storage space for their personal items during an open house or while the house is staged for a sale, they can use your storage unit. With these strong relationships, you can offer more to your clients and build your customer base and ensure they are happy with your service.
