Storage Auction Experts is recognized as a leader in the storage auction industry, proudly serving California since 1984. Most of our team is composed of licensed, bonded professionals who have completed formal auctioneer training. Known for our integrity and professionalism, we consistently earn high praise from both facility operators and bidders alike.

With a service network encompassing over 350 auction sites statewide, we have cultivated a loyal and extensive buyer base built on decades of trust. Our proven track record helps ensure that every live auction is conducted with fairness, accuracy, and full compliance.

One of the key benefits of partnering with Storage Auction Experts for live auctions is the added protection we provide to your facility. By utilizing a dedicated auction firm—rather than internal personnel—you significantly reduce legal exposure that may arise from improperly managed or undervalued unit sales. Our widespread presence and established practices offer a strong defense in the event of dispute.

We maintain strict adherence to California statutes governing self-storage auctions and continually update our practices to reflect the latest legal requirements. Our comprehensive insurance coverage, including liability and Errors & Omissions policies, ensures your site remains safeguarded. In accordance with state law, all auctioneers and lock cutters on our team are fully bonded.

To drive attendance and optimize visibility, we actively promote each auction. Monthly flyers are mailed to our facilities as well as emailed to our facility and buyer network. We send targeted daily email alerts and social media posts to more than 2,000 registered buyers across California. These notifications include unit counts, highlights of unique items (with photos, when available), and direct links to our regularly updated auction calendar featured on our website.
