Why You Should Never Accept a First Lease Offer
When a carrier or tower company offers you a cell tower lease, that offer reflects what they hope you'll accept — not what they're willing to pay. Carriers have teams of site acquisition specialists with full market data. Most property owners have none. That gap is why first offers are almost always significantly below market.
Most first offers are 40–70% below what we can negotiate. Once you sign, the carrier has everything they need and your leverage disappears for the full lease term. If you haven't signed yet, you are in the strongest negotiating position you will ever be in.
Our typical outcome: a negotiated rate 2–3× higher than the initial offer, with improved escalation terms, co-location provisions, and protective clauses — all before you sign anything.
Market Rate Benchmarking
We compare your offer against verified current lease rates for your specific location, property type, and carrier — not published national averages.
Full Lease Term Analysis
We review escalation clauses, co-location provisions, equipment rights, termination terms, and liability language — not just the base rent number.
Carrier Communication Handled
We manage all carrier negotiations on your behalf — professionally and strategically — so you never have to negotiate directly against their specialists.
Success-Fee Only
No upfront costs, ever. Our fee is a percentage of the improvement we achieve — meaning we only earn when you earn significantly more.
Simple, Risk-Free Process
No upfront fees. You only pay if we improve your outcome.
Free Offer Review
Submit your lease offer details. We review within 24 hours and tell you plainly whether the offer is fair, below market, or significantly below market — at no charge.
Market Analysis & Strategy
We pull real comparable lease data for your city, property type, and carrier, then build a data-backed negotiation target with a rationale the carrier must address.
We Negotiate on Your Behalf
We draft and send the counteroffer, manage all carrier communications, and handle every round of negotiation. You stay informed without doing any of the work.
You Sign a Better Deal
Most negotiations complete in 4–8 weeks. You sign a lease with better rent, stronger escalation terms, and improved protective clauses.
