JUST CLOSED | Tallahassee, FL Sometimes, the best advice is to wait. We helped the seller strengthen occupancy and rental rates before going to market, ultimately closing the 663-unit facility with Public Storage. Knowing when to sell is just as important as how to sell.

Occupancy doesn't tell the whole story. Two #selfstorage assets can show the same occupancy and similar rents, but one may have relied heavily on concessions to get there, while the other held rate. Same headline, potentially very different economics. #cre #SelfStorageInvesting

Alongside our quarterly national report, we publish a Top 50 MSA report — individual market-level studies, metro by metro. Storage is a local asset class, and the national number hides everything that matters. #selfstorage #cre #SelfStorageInvesting buff.ly/aSRCGQU

Self-storage concessions are the early signal most people miss. When operators stop discounting to maintain occupancy, pricing power rebounds, often before it shows up in reported rents. #selfstorage #cre #SelfStorageInsights → buff.ly/ZcOK4o0

Most self-storage brokers know the asset class but not the local market. We know both — national reach, local expertise. #selfstorage #cre #SelfStorageInvesting #localexpertise @cushman buff.ly/AftZImA

The best transactions rarely happen because of one person. Research, valuation expertise, buyer relationships, #CapitalMarkets resources, and local market intelligence all play a role. Platform matters #CRE #selfstorage

One of the biggest misconceptions in #selfstorage today: buyers have disappeared They haven't. They've become more selective, making the market more disciplined. Facilities with strong fundamentals, operational upside, and clear growth opportunities continue to attract attention.

Most sellers come to market with a number based on a deal from two years ago. Honest valuation starts with what the market will actually pay today — not what the seller needs it to be. That's the foundation that makes everything else work. #selfstorage #cre #SelfStorageInvesting

Self-storage Q1 data: occupancy flat, rents down year-over-year. What institutional buyers are actually doing: moving aggressively on stabilized core assets in top MSAs. The data and the deals are telling two different stories right now. buff.ly/8RJ2ifE

Most brokerage businesses are built around getting the next listing. #TheMeleGroup is built around the relationships that make listings unnecessary — 28 years in this business, knowing the buyers, knowing the markets, being in the conversation #selfstorage #cre
