List Self Storage (LLS), a website for real estate professionals to list and identify facilities for sale, has launched a “List Alert” short-message service (SMS) that provides users with real-time updates when properties are uploaded to the platform. The system will automatically send a text message to registered users when a new listing is activated, according to a press release.

The notification will include the property name and location, along with a link to view more information. “As a technology platform, we are always exploring opportunities to connect with users, and text messaging is List’s natural next step,” said Theresa Gallas, president. “We are pleased to offer our users expedited notifications.”

The notifications are provided through telecommunications firm Carrier Logix, which provides phone and Internet services including cable resources, call centers, cloud-based solutions, hosted voice and mobile communications, to the self-storage industry. Users can opt in to the List Alert service by texting their property search criteria to LLS.

Founded in 2015, LLS has represented more than $2 billion in self-storage, conversion and development assets for sale nationwide, according to the release. The website provides a directory of self-storage transaction specialists, providing a reference for all aspects of self-storage development, building, financing, purchasing, managing and selling.
