Lump-sum cash payments are more popular than ever. However, pairing a cell site with a potential investor remains important. We take pride in being the only independent brokerage firm nationwide. Year after year, we’ve closed in excess of $100M in cell tower lease buyouts on behalf of our clients.

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.
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.
Smooth Closing Process
Attorneys are sometimes busy, but all it takes is a team of focused individuals 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.
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.
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.
