Your home is, by definition, very personal. Temporarily taking away what makes your home yours can be difficult, but it’s worth it for the effect it’ll have on selling your home. Essentially, get into the head of a buyer. When looking for a house to make your home, seeing fewer of a stranger’s personal items will make it easier to picture living there.* For that reason, it’s very important to depersonalize your home while it’s listed for sale.
But don’t fret; we’re not saying throw away your child’s drawings. This is the perfect time to utilize storage to keep all of your personal items conveniently packed away until your house sells (and without re-cluttering the de-cluttering you’ve done!).
* According to a National Association of Realtors ® 2009 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 90% of buyers can’t visualize the potential of a home. Which means preparing it to show to its full potential is critical.*

We aren’t satisfied with the status quo, and we don’t think you should be either. We believe that you should expect more than just “good customer service” from a storage company. We want you to say “WOW!” That’s why we created the first and only WOW! Department in self storage.
We already have the best-trained managers in the industry who are committed to delivering first-rate, unparalleled service. Our WOW! Department takes the next step – from answering all of your questions to providing a better storage experience than you could have imagined.
We’re all really excited here about the future of CubeSmart and how we hope to change the self storage industry. However, some folks out there may be a little concerned about such a huge change to our company. “What does it mean?”, you may ask. Let’s go over some frequently asked questions to put your mind at ease.
What immediate changes should I know about?
While we’re changing our brand over the coming months, you can continue to rely on your friendly managers at our stores and call the same phone numbers. However, keep an eye out for the following immediate changes:
Starting now, any postal mail will come from CubeSmart, and any emails will come from an @cubesmart.com email address.
The signs on our stores will change from U-Store-It to CubeSmart over a period of several months.
Recently, the storage gurus at U•Store•It came up with some huge ideas: What if self storage was more than just a box of empty air for your stuff? What if we could offer our customers a cup of hot coffee, a smile and a place to kick back and relax after hauling their things?
What if we could take an active role in helping our customers with their specific needs, whether they’re boat owners looking for a safe place to keep their nautical investment during the off-season or contractors who need storage for their materials and tools? Most importantly, what if we could raise the bar for your storage expectations without raising our prices? Sounds crazy, right? And why am I still asking questions?
Welcome to CubeSmart! We’ve reinvented ourselves and revolutionized the storage industry. U•Store•It, now CubeSmart, is redefining expectations. Don’t worry; the self storage options you’ve come to expect are all still available at CubeSmart with the best discounts in the industry, like Up to 15% Off Your Monthly Rent and Up to Two Months Rent Free.
But why only get economy-level service for your money? Get the most value with dozens of additional services, from free refreshments, Wi-Fi access and CubeSmart’s exclusive SmartTrakr organizing app to premium storage options like shelving, individual alarms and remote access.
We want to change the way we use social media, too. This should be more than a one-way communication method. If you have questions, comments on our new brand, suggestions or anything else you think we should know about, leave a comment here, write on our new Facebook wall, Tweet us @CubeSmart or email us.
