Cell Site Risk & Value Assessment

Why all landlords need a Cell Site Risk & Value Assessment before making any changes to their cell site lease.

 
 

What Is A Cell Site Risk & Value Assessment (CRVA)?

A Cell Site Risk & Value Assessment is CSA's professional, 360-degree review of everything connected to your cell tower lease — your rent, your lease terms, your site operations, your permits, your insurance, and your legal protections — all examined together to give you one clear picture: what you actually have, and what it's genuinely worth, before you make any decision.

Why do I need the info a CRVA provides?

Because the tower companies know exactly what they need to keep their margins high — and they are counting on the fact that you don't.

Tower companies and carriers have a bounty on your head and stand to make millions if they can use your lack of knowledge to scare you in to:

  • Rent reductions

  • Right-of-First-Refusals

  • Blanket power of attorney’s

  • or confidentiality clauses that keep you from getting the help you need.

Most landlords haven’t read their lease in years and expect to go toe to toe with carriers who push them into one sided time sensitive negotiations armed with little if any cell site knowledge. That knowledge gap is where landlord’s who don’t know, lose $100,000’s — year after year, deal after deal.

What do I get when I order a CRVA report?

The CRVA follows a structured two-step review process conducted by CSA senior analysts — each with over 20 years of exclusive cell site leasing experience, working only for landlords, never for carriers or tower companies.

Step 1 — Lease Deep Dive
CSA reads every word of your original lease, all amendments, all addenda, and all consent letters. The review looks for terms that help or harm you: rent escalators, revenue share provisions, termination rights, Right of First Refusal clauses, relocation language, buyout triggers, and notice requirements. Older leases often contain favorable landlord terms that tower companies are actively trying to amend away — sometimes for a small one-time cash payment to an unknowing landlord.

Step 2 — Rent & Market Analysis
Your current rent, escalator rate, and lease economics are benchmarked against comparable sites in your area. CSA identifies whether your rent is at market, above market, or — as is most commonly found — 25–50% below what your site should be earning today.

The Deliverable: A plain-English summary of your risk exposure, your value gap, and your documented leverage — everything you need to make an informed decision or enter a negotiation from a position of strength.

  • "If you have a cell tower and you need help, don't sign anything until you call Cell Site Appraiser.

    Eastside Baptist Church in Phoenix, AZ was offered $500 for a power easement after unauthorized construction on their lawn. The CRVA found permit violations and missing written consent. CSA issued a default notice and forced a $60,000 settlement — 120 times the original offer, used to complete a community youth center.

  • "Cell Site Appraiser showed us what our site is truly worth.."

    Jim Birkey in Morgan Hill, CA received Crown Castle's full pressure package — rent reduction, Right of First Refusal clause, and a 50-year extension all at once. After a CRVA identified his true position, CSA delivered: zero rent reduction, revenue share added on all new tenants, a 5-year rolling rent guarantee, and $6,000 cash at closing. Every demand reversed. Money in hand.
