Cell site leasing information (1) (2) (3) (Help with cell site questions) (Government agencies) (Selling a lease?)

Tom:

My name is Ken Schmidt (e-mail link) and my site is Steelintheair.com (external link.) We help with cell site leases, sometimes called tower leases, working with property owners large and small. I am an inactive attorney and cannot and will not give legal advice, however, I can give business advice after having written, reviewed, and signed hundreds of tower ground leases. We also do GIS mapping for the cellular industry. I'd be happy to help your readers.

Here's some of what we do:

1. Negotiating. Been contacted recently by a carrier? Act quick! The site acquisition agent will move on at even a hint of difficult leasing. It is crucial for the landowner to know if they have a unique piece of property before pushing the agent away. Here's where I can really help, based on the analysis described above.

If the landowner is in a unique position, then lease negotiations can become profitable but difficult and detailed. I know, I've owned towers and done site acquisition myself. My company knows both sides of a lease. While I can't promise an increase in rent, I can help you understand the technical talk, and show you what to consider during lease negotiations. There are, for example, a number of freebies the carrier will include in the lease if you know what to ask for. I urge you to consider my assistance. The site agent is very experienced with these contracts. Are you?

2. Zoning Support. If a tower company or wireless carrier is building a tower in your neighborhood and you want some assistance in finding the right questions and doing the right research to get the tower denied, contact us. Depending upon the situation, we may be able to help.

 

3. Other services. We work with carriers, government, and private landowners to do all manner of consulting. We can run the numbers on a lease buyout for example, giving you a valuable second opinion on whether you should sell. Please visit our site, Steelintheair.com (external link), for more details:

* Physical Site Audits
* Tower Mapping and Structurals
* Competitive Analysis
* Custom GIS Mapping
* Portfolio Review and Projections
* Document Review (On-site or Off-site)

If you do have a tower lease or have been offered one, please feel free to visit our website at Steelintheair.com (external link) We would be happy to help you evaluate each individual offer on its own merits to help you or your agency arrive at a lease rate that maximizes your return while minimizing the risk that the carrier goes elsewhere.

But, please do not contact us with land that you would like to lease to a tower company, unfortunately, we cannot help and we would be wasting your time if we told you we could.
