When it comes time to put your house on the market, the first thing a Realtor will tell you is to prepare for home staging.  Home staging, a growing industry, is a vital part of the moving process.  By definition, home staging is the act of preparing a private residence prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to sell a home quickly, and for the most money possible by attracting the highest amount of potential buyersIn order to increase the appeal of your home, home staging measures are taken to make your home appear larger and more open.  When you begin to strategize with your Realtor, think about the advantages of SMARTBOX.  SMARTBOX will bring you our portable storage containers at your convenience.  Once you have your home staged, will then pick up and store your excess belongings in our secure, climate controlled facility, allowing you to present your house in the most effective manner.  As you move forward in the moving cycle, give your local SMARTBOX office a call and they will deliver your loaded units to your new address. 

If you are moving, have a plan in place for when your Smartboxes arrive with your belongings.  In order to prevent chaos and clutter, have a strategy in place when you begin to empty your storage containers.  The garage is the easiest area to neglect when moving into a new home.  Unless you plan on parking you vehicle or vehicles in this space, the garage tends to be a dumping ground for objects or boxes with no clear place inside the house.  Be prepared with a systematic process for organizing objects that have been reserved to garage storage and have them stored together in one Smartbox.  Before you begin to unload this designated pod, make sure that the floor surface and walls are clear before you proceed.  It is much easier to lay a new epoxy layer to the floor before it is covered with your “stuff.”  Also, have shelves or areas in place for storage of specific articles or belongings.  Managing the move will become much easier and less stressful with a plan of action in place, and you will find yourself with more storage area and mobility with an organized new garage.

SMARTBOX Portable Self Storage provides an excellent solution for businesses.  Our portable storage units are perfect for unexpected inventory build up or managing and organizing your overhead.  As a business owner, if you have the opportunity to purchase a surplus of goods to add to your inventory, your only concern is space.  SMARTBOX’s mobile storage pods serve as temporary floorspace.  There is no need to lease extra warehouse space when several Smartboxes can fill the need on a temporary basis.  SMARTBOX units are also well suited for document storage.  Many businesses are required to maintain hard copy records for several years at a time.  Our portable storage units are equipped with weather proof covers, providing you with security and piece of mind.  The size of the SMARTBOX container makes sense for businesses too.  Smartboxes hold approximately 235 cubic feet which allows your inventory overflow to be well organized.  Many businesses use multiple Smartboxes on site, using one for each unique product that demands the temporary storage.  Even better, Smartboxes are not unsightly, rusty sea containers that take away from your office’s image.

As I drive through the city of Richmond, one thing is constant.  The “big box” carriers simply cannot place there product in the inner city.  Smartboxes are the perfect size for congested streets and narrow spaces.  Imagine living in any metropolitan area, trying to arrange for a sixteen foot box to be dropped off.  You probably won’t make any friends with your new neighbors by taking over their parking spaces.  Also, SMARTBOX units are dropped off using a Moffett, a highly maneuverable forklift that can navigate through the the tightest areas.  No more hydraulic contraptions that take a large area to deploy, all you need with SMARTBOX is a five foot by eight foot area, comparable  to a compact car’s parking space.
