Why do you use The BSC Group?
It’s simple: They’ve done a lot of deals, they understand the product type and they know the lenders.
What makes BSC different from other brokers?
Commitment. The BSC Group has taken the time to get to know the staff at the lenders and ensure that they understand the self storage business. When I walk into a bank with The BSC Group as my advisor, we are already 90% of the way there since they have already prepped them on the intricacies of the self storage industry.
Why not just work with the lender yourself and forego a broker?
I’ve tried. It became a grueling process to educate the banks on the self storage industry. And it seemed they took everything I said with a grain of salt. In addition, I learned that I didn’t have access to CMBS quality deals without a broker. I finally began researching brokers and have used The BSC Group ever since. I’m glad, because the quality of the deals I completed were far greater than anything I could have achieved on my own.
Describe your deals.
The BSC Group helped me receive my first CMBS loan for a 42,000 SF facility with 241 units. We worked very closely during the process, and I think they knew my deal better than me.
When I decided to open a second facility, the BSC team was there every step of the way. They helped me develop property goals and uncover the issues self storage operators face. They were instrumental in my receiving a multi-phase loan for an 80,000 SF facility with 541 units.
Finally, why hire The BSC Group?
Hire them for their expertise. They make the process seamless because they are good at it.
