Our Client's Success Stories

Existing AT&T Condo Rooftop HOA Lease Sale

Location: South Florida

“We were offered a little over half a million dollars for our rooftop lease and I’ll be honest — that sounded like a great deal at first, but after speaking with Tower Leases, I realized how far below market that was. David Espinosa handled everything, getting offers from all the top investors, and pushed the negotiation to just under a million, which enabled us to offset capital gains with capital expenditure. Looking back, not doing this would have been a costly mistake with significant tax consequences. David completely changed my perspective on what these leases are actually worth.”

Existing Verizon Rooftop Lease Extension

Location: New York City, New York

“Before: $770/month with minimal escalators.

After working with Tower Leases: $3,390/month with structured increases.

We were offered a lease renewal for our Verizon Rooftop with a $10,000 signing bonus, and thought it was a good deal before we reached out to David Espinosa. We asked David to analyze the lease renewal offer and handle the negotiation from start to finish. He explained everything clearly and pushed back where needed. The final result was more than four times what we were being offered. It’s clear now that without Tower Leases, we would have locked ourselves into a long-term agreement far below market value.”

New Cell Tower Lease

Location: Texas (Austin Area)

“We were approached to put a new cell tower on our property and at first, I thought it wasn’t worth the hassle because they offered us $600 a month with little to no escalators. We called Tower Leases and spoke with David to see if this was worth pursuing and David did the research to find that we had leverage – David negotiated the entire lease and worked directly with the site acquisition company and was able to more than double the rent and escalators.”

Existing Verizon Rooftop Lease Sale

Location: Southern California

“We were interested in selling the lease so we could to a 1031 exchange for another investment property. Tower Leases went straight to the top investors and got us the highest pricing for our lease. Truly impressed, we had been solicited many times over the years and the highest we had been offered was 800K less than what David was able to get us for our lease. We would have left serious money on the table. I’m glad we took the steps to make that initial call to Tower Leases”

Existing American Tower Lease Sale

Location: Southern Colorado

“American Tower contacted us and offered $400K to buy out our lease. I was hesitant to involve anyone because I thought it would complicate things. I called Tower Leases and they reviewed the offer – David was able to get American Tower to pay me $100K more than they offered me directly. Tower Leases made the process simple and handled everything. I went from unsure to fully convinced this was the right move.”

Market Valuation Rooftop Leases Condo HOA

Location: South Florida (South Beach Area)

“Our HOA Board wanted to review our three current rooftop leases to determine if we were getting market value and if we were at risk of losing any of our leases. Tower Leases did a full comprehensive review of all our leases and provided a wealth of information regarding our leverage with each lease, what the current market values and current terms were. We had no idea our leases were undervalued until Tower Leases reviewed them. The process was straightforward, and we always felt informed.”

Existing Vertical Bridge Lease Negotiation

Location: Idaho

“We were contacted by Vertical Bridge for an additional carrier to come on our tower, and Vertical Bridge asked us how much we wanted to receive for the additional tenant. We had no idea what was reasonable, so we decided to contact Tower Leases. After hiring David Espinosa, he quickly identified that our lease had zero escalators for the first 15 years. We had no idea that this was not standard, and that we were leaving so much money on the table, you don’t know what you don’t know. After David took charge he handled the negotiation of additional tenant rents and got us an escalator to start immediately as well as a signing bonus. The difference between the original lease and the amended lease is substantial, and we now feel like our property is finally being valued correctly.”

What are My Tower Lease and Buyout Options?

If you’re already leasing out a portion of your land for a cell tower, hopefully you know what you got yourself into! Unfortunately, many cell tower lessors do not fully understand what they’ve signed up for. With over 200,000 cell towers spread across the US, it’s easy to see how a few contract details can get lost in the mix.

With the increased use of smartphones and other wireless devices, cell towers are popping up all over the place and many property owners are really cashing in. But being uninformed about the contract you’ve signed is not a situation you want to find yourself in. You may even find that you’d like to find a better lease arrangement or get out of the contract altogether.

What You Need to Know

Rather than buying land all over the place, most wireless phone service providers simply lease space from property owners to build their towers. This could be a small section on the roof of a building, or little piece of land. The reality is, wireless carriers need a place to put their towers, and it makes more sense for them to rent a little piece of real estate rather than buy them.

What Is A Cell Tower Lease Buyout?

Lease buyouts–usually referred to as lease prepayments–are just a one-time payment made to the property owner, establishing the cell tower lease arrangement. It does not mean that the wireless carrier owns the property or has the same rights as the owner to the property. The lease contract spells out the rights granted to the wireless carrier and the rights retained by the property owner. Just like any other real estate transaction, all the details (for everyone’s protection) should be clearly laid out in the contract.

So You’ve Got A Lease Offer…

If you’ve already been approached with an offer by a wireless carrier, your best bet is to begin by considering it in light of the value considerations we went over above.

You may also want to think about soliciting other offers if you haven’t already received more than one.

If you already have a lease, you may occasionally receive offers from other private leasing companies. These offers may work out for you. But just remember, these companies are looking to capitalize on the cash flow of the cell service passing through your tower.

Get The Best Price For Your Lease.

If you’re thinking of cutting a deal and leasing part of your property for a cell tower, you’ve got to make sure you get the best price.But how do you know you’re getting the best deal?Speculation is never easy, but there are a few factors you can consider to make sure you get the best cell tower lease buyout:

The value of your property
The location of the proposed tower
The current market value of cell tower buyouts

All of these factors play an important role the value of any buyout offer and you’ll want to consider them as you weigh any offers you receive. Understanding the true value of a lease is very difficult though. This is one situation where getting in touch with a professional who understands the market and lease values could really pay off in the long run.

Should I Sign A Long Term Contract?

The short answer is, no.

When negotiating a contract, it’s best to err on the side of a shorter term contract.

Like many markets, the rates for cell towers are subject to fluctuation. So if the market moves up, you’ll be stuck with a lower rate.

Agreements can last up to 5 years, but may be as short as 1 year.

Just remember, any time a lease is up for renewal is another chance for you to renegotiate your rates.

Understanding Your Contract.

Wireless providers add new cell towers to improve their cell service coverage and ultimately make more money.

So it’s understandable that one of the primary components of any agreement between you and a wireless provider will involve the ability to collect rents on the tower.

Another important part of your contract will be the access rights to the tower. The wireless caller will need access to the tower, so any lease agreement will involve an easement and access rights.

It’s also a good idea to understand the local laws and codes that govern cell towers before signing any kind of an agreement.
Make sure you understand your rights before entering into a lease agreement.

Conclusion

Whether you already have a cell site on your property, have an offer, or are just exploring your options, you have to understand the market and the process. Before you commit to a contract, make sure you know what you’re getting into. If you have a buyout offer, it’s a good sign your tower is worth something, so make sure you truly understand the value!
