When real operations experience meets brokerage, better deals get done.

Scott Meyers welcomes back Alex Erbs for a dynamic conversation about his transition from running a multi-state self-storage management company to becoming a full-time broker with EqiCap Commercial.  

They dig deep into what makes for a successful third-party management relationship, why many operators misunderstand what management companies actually do, and how Alex's hands-on experience gives him a competitive edge in helping owners value and sell their properties.  

From lighthearted stories to serious strategy, this episode dives into what really drives value in today’s self-storage market.
