Is a Storage Auction legal?
Absolutely. We follow all California lien laws strictly, including proper notification timelines before the lock is cut.
Do buyers pick through the Storage Auction unit?
No. Units are sold as a single lot. Buyers bid on the entire contents from the threshold; they cannot enter until they pay.
How fast must the unit be cleared?
Immediately. Buyers typically have 48 to 72 hours to empty the unit "broom clean," so you can rent it out again.
What if personal documents are found in the Storage Auction?
We have a protocol. Buyers are instructed to return personal papers (birth certificates, photos) to the facility office.
Who pays the auctioneer?
The buyer. We typically charge a buyer's premium, meaning the service often costs the facility owner nothing or very little.
