Storage unit auction software for lien and abandoned-unit sales.
Clear delinquent units the right way — with lien-compliant timelines, multi-facility scheduling, and vetted buyer registration. Unovance Global runs it all on a branded platform you own.
Selling an abandoned unit is not like selling ordinary inventory. You are executing a lien sale with a default date, a notice period, and statutory deadlines that have to be met before a single bid is accepted. Unovance keeps that paper trail attached to every lot, so the legal process and the auction stay in lockstep.
For self-storage operators, timed online auctions are usually the best fit: each unit runs as its own lot over a fixed window, opening the sale to far more buyers than a curbside cleanout day ever could. You photograph the contents, set the removal deadline, and let local resellers and bargain hunters bid on their own schedule.
Across one site or fifty, you catalog units, schedule per-facility sale windows, and register and verify buyers — collecting resale certificates and signed terms before pickup. And because it runs on your brand, the buyer relationships and bidder data stay yours, not a marketplace's.
Built for the realities of lien sales.
Lien-compliant timelines
Track default dates, notice windows, and statutory waiting periods per unit so every sale clears the legal lien process before it goes live.
Facility scheduling by location
Catalog delinquent units across multiple sites and schedule sale windows that match each facility’s clear-out and access hours.
Buyer registration & verification
Collect resale certificates, payment methods, and signed terms up front, so the winning bidder is vetted before pickup day.
Photo-first lot listings
Publish overview photos of each unit’s contents from your phone, with as-is condition notes and removal deadlines built into every lot.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of auction format fits storage unit sales?+
Timed online auctions are the standard fit. Each delinquent unit runs as its own lot over a set window, letting local and out-of-town buyers bid without a live caller. For facilities that prefer it, Unovance also supports webcast and sealed-bid formats from the same platform.
Does the software help with lien compliance?+
Yes. You record default dates, notice periods, and statutory waiting windows per unit, and the platform keeps the documentation trail attached to each lot. Compliance rules vary by state, so you stay in control of the timeline while the software keeps your records organized and audit-ready.
Can I run auctions across multiple storage facilities?+
Yes. You can catalog units across every location you operate, schedule independent sale windows per site, and manage buyer pickup and removal deadlines separately for each facility from one dashboard.
Do I keep my own buyer relationships and data?+
Yes — that is the ownership advantage. The auctions run on your branded platform, and the bidder list, contact data, and buyer history belong to you. You are not renting an audience from a third-party marketplace that owns the relationship.
