Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value a billboard lease buyout in New Castle County?
We calculate the net present value of remaining lease payments including renewal options, escalation clauses, the billboard company's financial stability, and the scarcity value of the sign permit in New Castle County.
What is a typical buyout multiple for billboard ground leases?
Billboard lease buyouts typically range from 8x to 18x the annual ground rent depending on remaining term, location, traffic count, and whether the sign is digital or static.
Does my billboard sign permit transfer with the land?
In most jurisdictions, billboard permits are attached to the location and transfer with the property. Many permits are grandfathered under sign ordinances and cannot be replicated, adding significant value.
What if my billboard lease is with a company like Lamar or Clear Channel?
Major billboard operators (Lamar, Clear Channel/Outfront, YESCO) provide strong lease income because of their financial stability and interest in maintaining long-term sign locations.
Can I sell the land but keep receiving billboard rent?
In rare cases, an easement structure allows the lease income to be separated from the fee simple land. However, most buyers acquire both the land and the lease for simplicity and maximum value.
How fast can I close on a billboard land sale?
Most billboard land sales close in 21 to 45 days depending on lease review, permit verification, title clearance, and any required notifications to the billboard company.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
