We are Both a Cell Tower Consultant and a Cell Tower Attorney!
Tower Advantage was founded by a cell site attorney, Shival S. Bushan, Esq. He has been helping property owners for over 20 years with his diverse background that includes telecommunications, real estate, law and finance. Many cell tower consultants claim to have the legal expertise to help property owners – but most do not possess a legal education. Don’t be fooled by consultants who do not have the proper credentials to effectively help you navigate your complex situation.
There are many reasons to engage more expertise – rather than less – especially if you are paying the same price. Tower Advantage provides a full-service approach to helping clients and we work primarily on a contingency basis. Our firm includes cell tower experts, real estate brokers, and attorneys to ensure that our clients are best represented. For more information on selecting the best representative, here are 10 Factors to Consider When Hiring a Cell Tower Lease Consultant.
Why You Need an Attorney As a Cell Tower Consultant?
A cell tower attorney – who is also a consultant – can do much more than a standard cell tower lease consultant. Here are issues that only a cell tower attorney can address:
1. Protecting Your Personal and Property Rights
The standard cell tower lease agreement has over 25 sections – all of which were drafted by cell site attorneys. The standard agreement relating to a cell tower lease buyout (which is when a cell tower lease agreement is sold) has over 30 sections – again, all of which were written by attorneys. A cell tower consultant does not have the expertise, nor the legal training, to protect your rights related to any cell tower lease transaction.
Of course, many consultants will minimize that fact and try to convince you to hire them. Don’t be fooled into hiring unqualified individuals or firms. Tower Advantage combines the necessary licensing and skill-set to provide you the maximum confidence your rights are being protected.
2. Negotiating Cell Tower Lease Agreements
As mentioned above, a cell tower lease will normally have over 25 sections – all of which were drafted by attorneys. Each one of those sections require legal expertise in order to negotiate the appropriate language changes on your behalf. One example of such a section is a right of first refusal, which can significantly reduce the value of your lease. Unfortunately, most consultants do not have the required background to negotiate those non-economic terms. As a result, they will simply disregard most sections of the lease to your detriment.
Of course, Tower Advantage also does everything you require to get the best economics for your particular situation because we are also a cell tower lease expert. We have worked with every type of cell tower tenant and know what to expect when dealing with each one. We also have thousands of rents in our database from all over the country. This helps us better understand the overall cell tower market.
Tower Advantage also has the knowledge of both the “tricks” and the “secrets” of this industry. By knowing what is “behind the curtain”, we are in the best position to help you maximize your particular cell tower opportunity. We can help you whether you are considering a cell tower lease extension, a cell tower lease buyout, or you are negotiating a new cell tower lease.
Don’t rely on any cell tower consultant who does not also have the legal background necessary to completely represent all of your interests. When you hire Tower Advantage, we make sure that you get the full-service representation that you require.
3. Negotiating Agreements for Cell Tower Lease Buyouts
If you are interested in selling your lease (aka cell tower lease buyout), you should not be focused solely on getting the most money. Typically, when a landlord sells their lease, the buyer requires the signing of many legal documents. These may include a letter of intent, a purchase and sale agreement, and an easement agreement and assignment of lease. As mentioned above, most easement agreements have over 30 sections – all drafted by cell site attorneys. If you do not have a cell site attorney reviewing this information on your behalf, you can guarantee it will not be addressed.
In addition, since Tower Advantage is also a cell tower consultant and expert, we also maximize the purchase offers for our clients. We know what buyers are looking for in order to better negotiate the best deal on your behalf. Moreover, not all prices are based on the same terms. We review all of the terms with our clients so they understand both the pros and cons to any proposal. Rest assured that the experts at Tower Advantage can provide you with the full-service representation that you deserve.
Tower Advantage provides its clients the confidence that their interests are being protected. In addition, we guarantee that we can secure you the best purchase price related to the sale of your cell tower lease. Contact us today for more information on how we can maximize your situation.
4. Handling Legal Disputes
You need a cell tower expert that is an attorney to handle any of your legal disputes. Whether it is collecting unpaid rent, getting reimbursed for overdue property taxes, or addressing any other cell tower lease breach(es). Any agreement that is negotiated will also require superior contract negotiation skills to ensure you rights are being protected. Tower Advantage will handle your disputes and provide you with exceptional results.
