U-Store-It Jersey City, NJ $15,600,000		HFF's knowledge of the current self storage transaction market during these tough economic time speaks volumes. HFF truly advised us throughout our entire disposition process. Not only did they know who to target, and how best to market our opportunity, they knew which investors had the true capacity to execute. HFF's process and knowledge truly added value to our transaction. Jonathan Perry, Senior Vice President U-Store-It

Secure Self Storage New Bedford, MA $6,100,000		When the financial markets were crashing in September 2008, the team we worked with at HFF was the calm in the storm. We closed our deal only four days after the Lehman failure. Even with last minute changes imposed on us by the CMBS servicer, which were testing everyone's nerves, our deal stayed on course. Stephen Schwartz, President Veritas Group

Lock-N-Key 21- Property Portfolio CO, FL, KY, OH, TX $144,000,000		The portfolio's sales package was detailed, thorough, and helped to communicate that this was a first-class real estate offering. All of the financial, market, and demographic information a prospective buyer could want was in this publication; it truly demonstrated this portfolio's value and long-term investment opportunity.

The Storage Company 4 - Property Portfolio New York City Metro $59,750,000		Self storage is a unique business with nuances that do not apply to other real estate classes. The SIA team truly understands these circumstances and they help navigate clients through any issues regarding a property transaction. They are also very good at working the middle with the buyer and seller to solve hitches and problems that arise on any real estate deal. Peter C.

Class A New York/New Jersey Self Storage Portfolio New York/New Jersey $52,000,000		SIA added value to every step of the process, whether it was in offering realistic and honest property valuations that helped establish our pricing expectations, providing market information that presented our properties in the very best light to potential buyers, applying their computer programs and analytical skills to financial analyses, or in coordinating the dissemination of all paperwork and documentation. Having their team work side-by-side with us throughout the transaction was very helpful for providing checks and balances.

Wynne/Jackson 6 - Property Portfolio California, Florida, Georgia, Texas $35,125,000		We knew SIAs prominent reputation in the sellers market, particularly with large and well-known companies, and felt that if SIA team members had earned the respect of these larger organizations for their nationwide reach, then their firm would be a good candidate to support our self-storage property disposition requirements. SIAs property valuation and market demographic information were clearly more on the cutting edge than any other firms, and we recognized their leading-edge approaches would help us sell our properties more effectively.

The Lock Up 3 - Property Portfolio Greater Chicago Area $10,245,000		In the case of the 167,000 square-foot, three-property Chicago-area portfolio I sold through SIA in 2006, we closed within five percent of their initial valuation. I appreciate this expertise, thoroughness and professionalism. Rick Hielscher, Partner, Lock Up Development Group Click here to read entire testimonial Click here to read transaction press release

The Lock Up Garden City Park, New York $9,400,000		Among the ways SIA sets itself apart from competitors is their accuracy. Other firms oftentimes provide exaggerated property valuations when trying to hook you as a client. SIA delivers highly accurate valuations on the front end of a transaction.
