Why Property Owners Sell

Your cell tower lease is worth more than your monthly check.

Carriers and tower companies have been accumulating long-term infrastructure rights for decades. The income stream your lease generates is a valuable financial asset — one that can be converted to a lump sum today.

Immediate capital

Pay off debt, reinvest, or fund retirement on your terms — not the carrier's renewal schedule.

Eliminate termination risk

Carriers can and do terminate leases. Selling locks in today's value before that risk materializes.

5G has driven values up

Network densification has made tower leases more valuable than ever. Now is a strong time to sell.

You keep your land

Selling the lease income does not affect your property ownership.

What Determines Value

What determines your cell tower lease value?

Every lease is different. These are the key factors our underwriters evaluate when preparing your offer.

Monthly Rent

Higher current rent produces a higher lump-sum offer. We benchmark your rent against current market rates for your carrier and market.

Lease Term & Escalators

Longer remaining term and annual escalators (CPI or fixed %) increase the value of your income stream.

Carrier / Tower Company

Leases with investment-grade tenants (AT&T, Verizon, Crown Castle) command premium pricing.

Location & Market

Tower density, urban vs. rural, and local RF demand all factor into valuation.

Co-location Income

If multiple carriers share your tower, additional rent streams increase your offer value.

Easement vs. Assignment

Perpetual easements typically produce the highest prices. We walk you through all structure options.

Questions & Answers

Common Questions About Selling a Cell Tower Lease

How much is my cell tower lease worth?

Value depends on your current rent, escalator, tenant carrier, and remaining lease term. Submit your details and we’ll provide a formal valuation within 48 hours.

Do I keep my property after selling the lease?

Yes. You sell the right to receive lease income — not the land itself. Your property remains yours.

What carriers and tower companies do you work with?

All of them — AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Crown Castle, SBA Communications, American Tower, Tillman Infrastructure, and all others.

How long does a cell tower lease buyout take?

Most transactions close within 30–45 days from your accepted offer. We’ve closed in under 30 days when needed.

Will the tower company know I sold?

The tower company is notified of the lease assignment as part of closing. This doesn’t affect their operations or your property.

What's the difference between a lease assignment and an easement?

An assignment transfers rights for the remaining lease term (often 30 years). A perpetual easement grants rights in perpetuity — and typically produces a higher purchase price. We explain both options clearly.

I already received an offer from another buyer. Should I compare?

Absolutely — and we encourage it. First offers are rarely best offers. We’re confident our pricing will be competitive.

Do you buy cell tower ground leases if there are multiple carriers on the same tower?

Yes. Co-location income from multiple carriers on the same tower is combined into a single valuation, and additional rent streams typically increase your total offer.

What are the tax implications of selling my cell tower lease?

A lease buyout is generally treated as the sale of an income-producing asset and may have capital gains implications. We are not tax professionals, so we recommend consulting a qualified tax advisor before closing to understand how a sale affects your specific situation.

What happens if the carrier stops paying rent or the tower is decommissioned after I sell?

Once your lease sells, that risk transfers to us. Any change in tenancy, rent, or tower activity after closing is our responsibility, not yours.

What documents do I need to request a valuation?

Just your current lease agreement, or a recent rent statement if you don’t have the lease handy. We can usually work with what you have and request anything additional during diligence.
