Your Dallas–Fort Worth Storage Facility Buying & Selling Expert

Your Guide to DFW Self-Storage Real Estate Investments

Buffalo Creek Realty brings deep expertise to the Dallas-Fort Worth storage facility market, serving residential and commercial clients seeking strategic property solutions. In North Texas, storage facility has become a preferred asset for both commercial and residential investors, as well as those looking for a safe place to store personal, home, or business belongings. Whether you are interested in traditional drive-up units or modern, multi-level, climate-controlled storage warehouses, these properties deliver dependable, recession-resistant income and flexibility for a variety of residential and business needs. The storage facility industry originated in Texas in the late 1960s and has grown rapidly, fueled by residential moves, business expansion, and the state's ongoing population growth and real estate development, especially as many homes in Texas do not have basements.

In today’s fast-paced real estate landscape, successful storage facilities feature advanced security and operational technology—such as electronic keypads or biometric access, individual unit alarms, 24/7 surveillance, and on-site management. The Dallas-Fort Worth area’s status as a business and residential hub has driven increased demand for units, reflecting both the needs of growing businesses and families seeking extra home storage. With so many opportunities in this robust and often recession-resistant commercial real estate sector, it’s essential to partner with an experienced realtor who understands your priorities—whether you’re acquiring, selling, or managing storage real estate assets.

Our licensed real estate agents, based in Allen, Texas, have extensive experience in the local storage market and understand the unique requirements of both residential and commercial property owners. We work with commercial investors analyzing occupancy trends, residential clients seeking to expand home storage investments, business owners optimizing revenue, and sellers aiming to maximize returns on their storage real estate assets.

Storage Facility FAQs

Your Burning Questions Answered​
Physical occupancy is the portion of rentable storage units currently leased. Economic occupancy measures the actual income received versus the potential income if all units are rented at market rates. Both are critical for lenders, appraisers, and real estate brokers to assess property performance.
Unit mix is the combination of storage unit sizes and types (such as 5x5, 10x10, climate-controlled, RV, or business storage). Matching the right mix to residential and business demand raises occupancy rates and maximizes real estate income.
Storage facilities generate additional income from retail and business services—packing supplies, tenant insurance, administrative fees, mailbox rentals, and moving truck partnerships—making the real estate asset more valuable for business and residential owners.
Valuing a storage facility typically involves dividing the net operating income (NOI) by the capitalization rate (cap rate). Location, unit mix, average occupancy, market competition, and facility condition all influence cap rates and the value of your real estate.

Self-storage facilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth market have consistently outperformed other commercial and residential real estate during economic downturns. The demand for business and residential storage remains steady, even when other industries slow, making it a resilient and attractive investment. Our realtors provide research and insight on how your home, business, or commercial property can weather various economic cycles.
