3 Facilities (620 Units)

"We converted our Texas properties to 100% remote, automated facilities with DaVinci locks and PTI gates. Missing phone calls while at my day job was costing us 8-10 move-ins a month. Our SageDoer assistant answers leasing calls in under 3 rings, sends digital leases on storEDGE, and pushes overlock lists daily. Occupancy jumped to 96%."

Bad Debt Reduced 85%

"Delinquent rent was killing my cash flow. Chasing neighbors for late storage rent was awkward and time-consuming. Samrat Pal and our virtual assistant took over our Day 5 and Day 10 collections cadences in SiteLink. Our 30-day delinquency dropped from 14% to under 2% in 60 days."

"SpareFoot reconciliation alone used to take half a day each month disputing bogus leads. Our SageDoer VA audits move-ins, manages our Google Review responses, and keeps our Florida lien statutory notices tracked to the letter. Having PM oversight makes all the difference."

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions from Self Storage Owners

Everything you need to know about delegating tenant phone calls, delinquent collections, and gate access management to a managed virtual assistant.

Yes, seamlessly. Modern self storage is designed for remote execution. Your virtual assistant answers incoming calls through your VoIP system (RingCentral, OpenPhone, Grasshopper), advises callers on available unit dimensions, sends digital lease agreements via storEDGE, SiteLink, or ESS, verifies government photo IDs, takes debit/credit card payments, and issues a personalized gate access code immediately. The entire move-in happens without an on-site manager sitting behind a desk.
Our specialists are experienced across industry-standard self-storage platforms including SiteLink Web Edition, storEDGE, Easy Storage Solutions (ESS), Yardi Breeze Premier, DoorSwap, StorageCommander, and Tenant Inc (Hummingbird). For gate security and hardware integration, they work with PTI StorLogix, OpenTech Alliance (IoE), SpiderDoor, QuikStor, and automated overlock platforms like DaVinci Lock. If you run a custom web booking portal, your dedicated PM oversees custom onboarding at no extra charge.
Your dedicated Project Manager is your single point of contact. You communicate your property rules, auction schedules, overlock policies, and street rate targets via WhatsApp, email, or Slack. The PM trains the assistant on your facility playbooks, audits daily rent collection logs, verifies that overlock lists are sent on schedule, audits screenshot-verified time logs, and conducts multi-point quality control. You pay strictly for the assistant's pure operational working hours ($6-$7/hr)—PM supervision is 100% free.
Yes. Self storage lien laws carry strict statutory requirements. A missed certified letter deadline can invalidate an auction. Your assistant follows a strict calendar: triggering automated SMS reminders on Day 3, sending late fee notices on Day 5, making courtesy calls on Day 10, preparing certified pre-lien notices according to your state statute timelines, and preparing online auction listings on StorageAuctions or Bid13 if payment is not satisfied.
Security and tenant privacy are non-negotiable. All SageDoer personnel sign legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Payments are processed directly through your PCI-compliant PMS merchant gateway (Storable Payments, Stripe, OpenEdge) where card numbers are tokenized and masked. We strongly recommend granting role-restricted user permissions inside your PMS and sharing credentials via encrypted password managers such as 1Password or Bitwarden.
Yes! Self storage portfolios expand rapidly. You can start with Part-Time (20 hrs/wk @ $7/hr) for a single 150-unit facility to handle morning inquiries and delinquency calls, and scale to Full-Time (40 hrs/wk @ $6/hr) or add dedicated multi-assistant pods as you acquire second, third, or fourth properties. There are zero cancellation penalties, zero lock-in contracts, and zero setup charges.
