Testimonials

We have been fortunate to know and work with Jon Danklefs over the years and really respect his work ethic and the pleasant and persistent way he handles the issues that can arise when working through self-storage deals. Jon isn’t afraid to roll his sleeves up and get into the weeds to be sure the deal closes smoothly and efficiently and helps make the entire experience feel like a win-win for both the seller and the buyer. We always welcome the opportunity to work with Jon!!

Jon Danklefs and his team are extremely knowledgeable about and well-connected to the self-storage industry. A true professional, Jon explored creative solutions for both buyers and sellers to successfully close and maximize the revenue of the sale of four properties for our family. I highly recommend Jon and his team!

Jon and his team were awesome to work with. We just closed on a self-storage facility in San Antonio. They scheduled weekly meetings and worked hard to make sure that everything was progressing towards closing. We would love to work with them again.
