What is a Cell Tower Lease Buyout Offer?
We close 100% of the lease buyouts we negotiate.
Cell tower lease buyouts provide property owners with a lump-sum payment from the sale of their existing cell tower lease rights. Although it can net property owners a potentially big windfall, going through this process alone can be a daunting undertaking. Determining whether it’s the best decision to sell and ensuring you’re getting the highest payout possible is difficult to know. That’s where Nexus Towers comes in.
Unlike most companies, we negotiate with several buyers working on behalf of you, not the direct buyers or cell carriers. We coordinate a smooth closing and get you the absolute most money and best business terms possible through a lump sum payout.
Our services:
- Conduct due diligence on wireless lease assets
- Organize and execute a blind bidding process
- Negotiate deal structure and easement terms
- Provide referrals to attorneys with telecom expertise
- Provide closing services including SNDA or LTV assistance
Understanding Buyout Offers: Key Terms Explained
Lump-Sum Cash Payments
A lump-sum buyout is the sale of your cell tower lease. The transaction involves you assigning the rights of your cell tower lease to your investor, who provides the payment. Getting the most favorable terms for you is crucial if you want to achieve the highest returns and make the entire effort worth your while.
Time Constraints
A typical closing can take between 30 and 90 days. Depending on each situation, Nexus Towers can ensure that your deadlines are met so you won’t have to worry about the process dragging on and preventing you from getting the payment you’re seeking or meeting a simultaneous closing or refinance deadline.
Smooth Closing Process
Attorneys are sometimes busy, but all it takes is a team of focused, independent telecom consultants with one goal in mind: closing. We take pride in closing 100% of the deals we negotiate. Our philosophy is to see things through—from a smooth start to a smooth finish with continued support post-closing.
Lenders Consent (SNDA)
Assuming the property has a loan in place, the current lienholder will need to sign a “Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement” prior to closing. If this isn’t an option, alternative solutions can be discussed. Our experts have all the necessary knowledge to make this aspect of your buyout as smooth and painless for you as it can be.
Capital Gain Tax Treatments
The proceeds from cell tower lease buyout are typically considered capital gains and qualify for a 1031 Exchange. In the past, our clients’ tax professionals have structured the transaction in other creative ways for tax purposes. We advise you to consult with your tax professional before any transaction, as we are not tax professionals.
