Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the value of a cell tower lease buyout?
We calculate the net present value of remaining lease payments including all renewal terms, escalation rates, carrier count, and the probability of lease renewal. We also factor in the underlying land value and any co-location potential.
What is a typical buyout multiplier for cell tower leases?
Buyout offers typically range from 10x to 20x the annual lease payment depending on remaining term, escalation clauses, carrier quality, and market demand in Essex County. We aim to provide offers at the higher end of fair market value.
Can I sell the land but keep the lease income?
In some cases, the lease can be separated from the land through an easement structure. However, most buyers prefer to acquire both the land and the lease together for maximum value.
What if my lease is with a major carrier like AT&T or Verizon?
Major carrier leases (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) are generally valued higher than regional or secondary carriers due to lower termination risk and stronger renewal probability.
Does selling my cell tower lease affect the carrier's equipment?
No. The carrier's equipment and lease terms remain unchanged. The buyer simply receives the lease payments going forward. The carrier does not need to approve the sale of the underlying land in most cases.
How fast can I close on a cell tower land or lease sale?
Most cell tower lease buyouts close in 30 to 60 days. The timeline depends on lease review, title clearance, and carrier notification requirements in New Jersey.
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.”
