Lien sales aren’t fun.
When self storage goes right, you don’t have to worry about auctions or collections or completing lien sales - but when delinquencies force your hand, a simple online lien sale form can simplify the process.
As part of our super useful operator toolkit, this form can make self storage lien sales quicker and easier. Filling in the blanks on this form can ensure you don’t miss important information. Lien sales are full of double-checking and second-guessing–don’t make it any harder than it has to be!
This online lien sale form, along with the rest of our Self Storage Operator Toolkit, provides shortcuts to make the complicated world of self storage simpler.
Forms reduce errors. Everyone makes mistakes, but when you’re selling the contents of a self storage unit, mistakes can be costly. One of the main ways you can reduce mistakes is by creating specific procedures that you can follow every single time.
This handy, customizable form is a perfect starting point from which you can add all the details that are important to your business. Contact information, sale price, lot number, and gate codes can all save you a phone call later, and the signature spots at the bottom verify that both you and the purchaser have agreed to the terms.
Use this form while you’re confirming a sale. The blanks will remind you to gather all the pertinent information, and giving the buyer a copy leaves them with all the information they need to actually come get the stuff they’ve bought.
Creating a paper trail can protect you and your business from costly mistakes and miscommunication.
The better you can document your transactions, the more ammunition you’ll have whenever someone wants to contest a sale. It’s hard for someone to argue that you agreed to a different price when they’re staring at their own signature. This template can be customized to address anything you’ve run into problems with, and it’s an easy way to make sure common pain points are addressed with each sale.
Rather than trusting yourself or your delegates to remember every bit of information you need, having a form makes sure every box is checked. Just like with our Facility Rounds Checklist, this form will help ensure every task gets done, from writing down the vital information to informing the buyer of their timetable.
The best part is, you don’t have to put in much effort to customize this form! Just change out the business name and read it over and you’re good to go. If you have more changes to make, you can, of course. We want our self storage operator toolkit to be as helpful as possible, so it’s nearly ready to print as soon as you hit download.
