Schur Success Auction Services sets record selling self-storage units in a single year.

March 3, 2010 - PRLog -- “In 2009, we experienced more than 16% growth in storage auctions over 2008”. He added “with positive customer referrals and a more aggressive marketing campaign, we’re now serving more than 100 locations”. “Although the growth was somewhat less than projected, it does mark five consecutive years of double-digit growth, clearly making us the largest self-storage auction provider in Colorado”. “Unit prices are stable to slightly more than last year” Schur added.

Storage units go to auction only when all other collection methods have failed. The clients that Schur provides service to, pride themselves on working with their renters to collect payments and avoid auctions. Knowing that auctions tend to bring in significantly less than what the renter owes, auctions become the last resort. However, once the auction is completed, the storage facility still has the right to pursue collections – and many choose to do so.

Schur Success Auction Services (formerly Ray Fenter & Associates), has been providing auction services to self-storage centers for more than 25 years. In the last six years, it has become a market niche that Schur has targeted. In 1995, the company served less than 40 facilities. Since that time, the company has expanded its services to more than 100 locations. In addition to providing the on-site auction services, the company also provides a lock-cutting and inventory service to more than 65% of their clients.  This service provides an extra layer of protection to the renter and the self-storage facility by providing a third-party witness to ensure the procedure is done properly. By providing both the lock-cut and the auction services, Schur can ensure the integrity of the unit from the time it is locked-out until the time it is sold.
