I'm Trent, a self-storage analyst with a decade of experience in CRE. My work blends underwriting, market intelligence, research, and custom data tools to identify opportunities, optimize workflows and analyze deals.
What I Do
Supply and demand analysis, competitor mapping, demographic profiling, and market scoring for self-storage acquisitions and development decisions.
T12 analysis, rent roll review, financial modeling, and acquisition pricing — fast enough to act while a deal is still live.
Custom dashboards and data pipelines that turn raw property and market data into clear, actionable insight for investors and operators.
AI-powered workflows to automate deal screening, market research, OM generation, and reporting — so the team focuses on decisions, not data entry.
