Get a Cell Tower on Your Property by Working with Airwave Strategies |
The process to get a cell tower on your property can be difficult. We hope to gain your trust and confidence by explaining how we are the best company to work with through this complicated process. Our firm works with cell sites in New York, Long Island, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Our Site management business is designed to level the playing field since landowners were regularly being taken advantage of in lease negotiations by the wireless carriers who controlled information about cell site lease data. And as I researched what other site management companies were doing (or not doing) for their clients, I began to see that the same issue was present with site management.
For instance, various lease buyout companies approach landowners with existing cell site leases promising that in return for the right to buy an existing lease, the lease buyout company will market the site to other carriers in exchange for 50% of the revenue. Furthermore, in some cases, these lease buyout companies send out letters telling landowners that they have another wireless carrier interested in using the landowner's building or property merely as a pretext for getting the landowners to call and subsequently receive a pitch about selling their lease. To us, this is misrepresentation and we don't believe that landowners should ever agree to give up 50% of potential cell tower revenue.
Furthermore, there is a number of competing site management companies that charge a listing fee of $100 or more dollars to have your land placed on an eligible site list. Allegedly, these companies will market your property to the wireless carriers. We are skeptical that they do anything with these lists other than continue to take money for your inclusion year to year. I have never been told by any landowner that they placed their name on a list for a fee and received a lease as a result. To further complicate matters, these companies will take anyone as a client regardless of whether there is any likelihood that a cellular site will ever be built.
Because of this we felt that there was a need for a reputable site management firm that treated its clients with respect and fairness. We decided that we would:
- Not take on clients with properties that aren't likely to ever work – we won't take properties that are not unique.
- Not make false representations by telling clients that we are likely to get them a lease when we can't. We set reasonable expectations and clearly explain that the likelihood of getting you a lease are slim at best given what we know about the site selection process.
If you think that our approach to site management would work for your property, then please don't hesitate to contact us.
