Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value land with a wind farm lease in Zapata County?
We evaluate total acreage under lease, annual payments (fixed rent plus production royalties), remaining lease term, wind resource quality, turbine age, and the wind developer's financial stability.
What is the difference between a fixed lease and a royalty payment?
A fixed lease pays a set annual amount per turbine or per acre. A royalty structure pays a percentage of electricity revenue, which fluctuates with wind production and power prices. Some leases combine both.
Can I still farm or ranch on land with wind turbines?
Yes, and that dual use continues after sale. Wind turbines occupy a small footprint, and most wind leases allow continued agricultural use on the surrounding acreage.
What about turbine decommissioning at the end of the lease?
Most wind leases require the developer to remove turbines and restore the land at lease end, often backed by decommissioning bonds. We review these provisions during due diligence to confirm landowner protections.
What if my wind lease is in the option or development phase?
Land under wind development options has value based on the option payments, development probability, and the underlying land value. We can make an offer at any stage of the development process.
How fast can I close on a wind farm land sale?
Most wind farm land sales close in 30 to 60 days depending on lease complexity, title clearance, and any required notifications to the wind developer.
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.”
