Communication Is Key

S.Hay -Homebush.

All things in life can be made easier with effective communication. The experience of moving and storing your home or business is certainly no exception. Having an active dialog with your storage provider can offer you a wealth of opportunity to not only save you some time and money but take a lot of the stress and head ache out moving and storing both short and long term. 

As the manager of a self storage facility myself I can tell you. IT’S OUR JOB TO HELP YOU. In this day in age, it can be second nature to hold everything close to you chest, to not ask questions or ask for advice.

Always remember that a storage facility is a thriving hub of business networking. Don’t know how you’re going to move? Want to do it yourself? Any good storage provider will have contacts to help you with suburb to suburb, interstate and international removals. Why not pick the brain of an industry expert that knows what to do and has seen what happens when people get it wrong. 

So, you’ve just moved into you new home and it needs some work done to it. Well we just so happen to know builders, plumbers, painters, landscapers you name it. Are you ready to move out? Do you need to organise tipping, document destruction or a truck to help you move? 

Let us know, we can help. 

In these times of economic uncertainty storage could seem like a costly endeavour. As the months potentially become a year you may ask yourself the question. Can I afford to pay XYZ each month? 

Let me ask you this. Before you even move in do you really need that much space? Why not seek some advice and get the right space form the start? 

After the months/year/years of storing, have you thrown out items, are there items in storage that you no longer have need for could you sell some items or give some to charity? 

Is there a chance that you no longer need a space that big? You could very well save a bundle every month by downsizing. 

We can help you organise these things and let you know just how much space you really need.

In summery there are no silly questions just silly people that don’t ask them. As I said before. In the end, it’s our job to help you.

The Value Of Space

A few months ago we were wanting to sell our home that we’d lived in for twenty years, a nice sea change we thought.

The idea of getting our home ready for viewing though was daunting. Twenty years of accumulating ‘things’ left us with a full house.

Our Real Estate Agent gave us some invaluable advice that I just had to share. He said, ”People are buying space, not belongings, they want to be able to visualize their own things in the home”.

He told us to de-clutter and simplify.

Feeling even more overwhelmed with the task ahead, I called my local storage facility.  Within minutes of speaking with them I felt relieved and motivated.

This particular storage site had everything I required for a smooth transition, their expertise and experience was second to none.

I was supplied with boxes, packing tape, furniture blankets and bubble wrap. They even recommended a trusted Removalist for when we moved to our seashore home. I felt like our dearly loved belongings were in the hands of true professionals.

I must say, What a difference de-cluttering made. I loved this new look.

Our house sold quickly and the move went well.

Funnily enough, we decided to leave the majority of our ‘dearly loved’ things in storage and then have a  garage sale at the end of the month.

This sea change was just what we needed, but what we love best is our newly acquired Space!
