If a wireless carrier leases your rooftop, ground, or tower space, you have options beyond collecting rent — including a substantial upfront buyout. We negotiate that decision on your behalf.
We represent a unique combination of telecommunications, real estate, and business expertise. Most lease buyout offers come from investors who understand only one side of that equation — the carrier's side.
We negotiate leases for cell site properties, generating income for property owners by leasing rooftop and other qualifying space to the telecommunications industry. Our hands-on philosophy influences every part of the process, from the first valuation call to the final signature.
Each path trades value, control, and duration differently. The right one depends on your tax position, your plans for the property, and how much certainty you want today.
It's the most common structure for cell tower lease buyouts, and usually the highest-value one. Here's what it actually changes for you.
A significant upfront payment in exchange for granting these rights — capital you can put toward property improvements or other real estate.
You keep title to the land. The easement holder's rights are specific to the tower — everything else on your property stays under your control.
In certain cases, proceeds may be eligible for reinvestment into other real estate without immediate capital gains tax. Confirm with your tax professional.
The easement holder takes over lease administration, tenant issues, and rent renegotiation. You get steady income without the day-to-day.
A tax strategy already in place, or a non-profit structure? A Term Easement can land close to perpetual-easement value while still returning full control to you eventually. Either way, these are the four things that decide whether a buyout offer is fair.
No obligation. We'll review your current agreement and walk you through which structure fits your situation.
