Why Maryland storage facility owners sell to WETYR
Maryland owners come to us for the same reasons owners everywhere do, burnout after years of carrying the business alone chief among them, but with one hard requirement: confidentiality. A public listing or broker teaser tells your staff, your customers, and every competitor in Mid-Atlantic that you are leaving. A direct sale to WETYR does not. Tech-light operations, high passive yield, REIT consolidation
What a Maryland storage facility is worth
We value on normalized earnings, not top-line revenue. After adding back owner compensation above a market replacement, one-time costs, and personal expenses, we apply the storage facility range of 6-9 cap rate on real-estate-attached; 10-15x EBITDA on operating. Real estate plus 95%+ recurring revenue pushes toward the top; owner dependence, customer concentration, and messy books pull toward the bottom.
Who competes to buy storage facilities
Private equity platforms and strategic consolidators (Public Storage, Extra Space, CubeSmart) are the loud buyers, but they screen hard, move slowly, and re-trade at diligence. WETYR is the operator alternative: we buy to run, not to flip, so we can move quickly and keep it private. We also advise Maryland owners who want to run a limited competitive process to the right strategic and financial buyers without ever going fully public.

Maryland storage facility sale FAQ
What is a storage facility in Maryland worth?
Most storage facilities trade at 6-9 cap rate on real-estate-attached; 10-15x EBITDA on operating. The number that matters is your normalized owner earnings (SDE or EBITDA after adding back one-time and owner-specific costs), multiplied by a range set by size, recurring revenue, licensing, and how dependent the business is on you. On roughly $300K - $5M per facility of revenue we typically see $150K - $2.5M of earnings. Send the numbers and we will give you an indicative range within a day.
How long does it take to sell a storage facility in Maryland?
A direct sale to WETYR can close in 30 to 75 days because there is no listing, no broker marketing cycle, and no auction. A brokered or PE-marketed process usually runs 6 to 12 months and puts your confidential financials in front of dozens of strangers. Location does not change the mechanics; readiness of your books does.
Do I have to list my business publicly to sell it?
No. That is the single biggest fear owners raise, and the reason many never start. WETYR buys directly and privately. Your staff, customers, and competitors do not find out unless and until you decide to tell them. Nothing goes on BizBuySell, no sign goes up, no teaser circulates.
What does WETYR charge to sell my storage facility?
When we buy directly, you pay us nothing; we are the principal, not a broker taking 8 to 12 percent of your proceeds. When we advise on a sale to a third party, fees are agreed up front and disclosed in writing. Either way you know the economics before anything moves.
What makes a storage facility sell for a higher multiple?
Real estate plus 95%+ recurring revenue. Concretely: recurring or contracted revenue, a team that runs the day-to-day without you, clean books, and current licensing (State lien laws, real estate compliance). We tell you honestly which levers are worth pulling before a sale and which are not worth the delay.
