What Sets Us Apart?
A-American Storage Management has the knowledge and resources to operate just as well, if not better than the REIT's of the self storage industry. However, with A-American you will not just receive a "representative", you will have direct access to the corporate office executives by cell, e-mail and in person meetings. We have a proven system for increasing profits and decreasing expenses for the owners we work with. Our properties use one of the most innovative facility management systems in the industry. We create advanced, custom rent raise plans for your property(s) that will increase revenue, while retaining tenants. At A-American we train our managers to understand pricing and discounting in the local market which allows us to stay ahead of the competition. We will provide testimonials from current owners upon request.
