John C. Lindsey isn’t just in the self-storage business — he’s redefining it.
A dynamic force in the industry since 2008, John brings a rare blend of brokerage precision, development expertise, and global strategy to every deal. With a business degree focused on commercial real estate from the College of Charleston, he launched into self-storage straight out of school — and never looked back.
Today, John is one of the most recognized names in self-storage brokerage. He’s led landmark transactions, advised on high-stakes storage projects around the world, and helped shape the future of the industry through cutting-edge consultation and management.
A former president of the Self Storage Association of South Carolina, past board member of the National and North Carolina Self Storage Associations, as well as board member of both Storelocal and SimpleStorage, John’s influence extends beyond deals — he helps lead where the industry is going next.
He is also the author of The Sexy Side of Self Storage, a bold take on an often-overlooked sector — proving that when it comes to self-storage, no one does it with more authority, style, or impact.
