Our church has had a cell tower on its property since the early 2000’s. The income generated from the tower had been a blessing, but based upon the needs of the church we wondered if a better arrangement could be found. The clincher was when our tower owner tried to convince us that the rent they were paying us was too high and wanted to lower it. We reached out to 3 separate companies that specialize in cell tower easement purchases, and our church council voted to go with AP Wireless based upon their long history and great reputation.
Kim was the AP Wireless Acquisition Director we dealt with, and wow was she professional in every way. Because our church belonged to a large and national church denomination, the rules and procedure that we had to follow was lengthy, and at times, frustrating. Kim was a real trooper and stayed positive even when dealing with the silliest of church i-dotting and t-crossing. Kim kept us up to date on what was going on from her end, and what was needed from our end; all the while staying positive, encouraging and friendly. We really appreciated that she went out of her way to answer any questions or concerns we had, and even arranged zoom calls between church members and AP Wireless’s legal team. When we advised Kim that the church required us to have our attorney go through documents prior to signing, she did not take offense, and was happy to coordinate info exchanges between our attorney and theirs.
I really feel that the Lord led us to AP Wireless and Kim. During the week of the closing on our new contract, we were contacted by a local church that doesn’t have a building of their own. They are hoping to share ours! We had planned to change our old and dangerous carpet, and now we have money and motivation to do it! God does indeed work in mysterious and wonderful ways!

Dwayne helped us complete our negotiations with APWireless with great patience, encouragement and knowledge. We had many difficult hoops to jump through digging out needed information from the past.
Dwayne always had a suggestion and a friendly manner helping us unravel the technicalities we had to contend with. He was courteous, professional and available at all times. He knew how to get information we needed from his contacts and the agreement process came to a very satisfactory conclusion for us. At the end of the process we considered him a friend. So thank you Dwayne for leading us to this most satisfactory agreement with APWireless!

Thanks for all of your help with this transaction. You were very helpful in answering my questions from start to finish. I don’t do this type of transaction every day, in fact this was my first one. I felt like you really took whatever time was needed to walk me through it. You also gave us the best overall price for the assignment of the wireless lease. I think this was a win for us and I assume it was a win for APWireless.

We had a very satisfying experience with APWireless. Everyone that I dealt with was professional and knowledgeable. Every aspect of the transaction went very smoothly and within the anticipated timeframe. I would recommend APWireless to anyone seeking to monetize their cell site leases.

It is with great pleasure that I am writing you today. We have completed all transactions associated with our agreement to sell our Sprint Tower Lease to APWireless and have begun working toward the final goal of creating a Digital Learning Center for our Youth and Adult programs.
Your never say die approach and attention to detail made this process a very enjoyable, albeit sometimes nerve racking, experience. We knew nothing about the process when we started, yet with your guidance and patience, I feel that we fully comprehend the process from beginning to end.
Kim you and your team worked very closely with our legal counsel and they remarked how responsive you were. Staying on top of what needed to be done. Always communicating every step of the way with me so that I could keep the board apprised of the progress. You also pulled off a miracle in the final hours, making the time for us that we needed to get the closing taken care of in time.
Kim, on behalf of the Board of Directors of Congregation Beth Torah, please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation. I certainly hope that our paths cross again in the future.
Respectfully submitted,

Tim was great to work with. He helped transition us into a contract that is beneficial to both parties and did it in a timely manner. Every question I had was addressed and there was never pressure to sign. He represented his company well by providing the top rate and backing it up with great customer service. Not only is he knowledgeable he is also easy to work with. I would recommend working with Tim on any project.

Three years ago, we were contacted by a company that was interested in purchasing the cell tower. After several months of tedious work, especially on our part, we recognized that we were wasting our time. The company made several promises that were consistently broken. Consequently, we decided to continue receiving our payments from the Leasing Company. This decision to end all correspondence, came after a year of negotiating with that company. Several months ago we were contacted by APWireless in order that we work with them in their purchasing of the cell tower. Naturally our church was skeptical. Our skepticism was soon changed to confidence in APWireless because of their willingness to go “The Extra Mile” to ensure the deal could be worked out. Alan was the catalyst and gave tremendous help in clearing hurdles, returning calls promptly, finding solutions, while showing great creativity in structuring a deal that was acceptable to both parties. Even though Alan had a personal tragedy during the negotiations, he was able to find capable individuals with his company who worked diligently to make things work out. When he returned he continued to work diligently until contracts were signed. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending APWireless, to any church or company that may be contemplating doing business with them. APWireless is an outstanding company, in that they will keep their word, and follow through on their promises. It has been a pleasure to work with them.

Our church has had a cell site on the property since about 1999. During this time, the lease has yielded small monthly payments.
Recently we were contacted by APWireless with a proposal to purchase the monthly income stream for a lump sum payment and future revenue sharing. We found the offer to be very beneficial, allowing our church to proceed with some capital improvements.
APWireless group and Joseph Tarantino were very helpful, responsive and easy to work with. Their help included providing direct access to the APWireless legal department for some questions from our Board. Most importantly APWireless was patient and understanding of our slow process through the Church Board. The closing process was simple and fast. APWireless is great!

Dealing with APWireless has been a very easy, efficient and straight-forward transaction. They offered more money than other company and they paid closing costs. Their team worked with us on any of our concerns, guided us through the process and quickly expedited full payment into our bank account.

When Louis called with a payout offer from APWireless, he indicated that the entire matter could be closed within sixty days. As the church’s representative, even though I considered the offer reasonable, I thought it would be nearly impossible to finalize the matter within sixty days, however, Louis was right!
Our questions and concerns were always addressed by APWireless’ consummate professionals. They responded expeditiously and worked tirelessly to bring the deal to closure. While they focused on the needs of their investors, they remained sensitive to the needs of the church. Our experience with the company was quite positive and allows the church to more effectively carry forth its mission—a win-win for both the church and APWireless!

I wanted to write and thank you for ease in which we were able to do this deal. You kept me in constant communication, worked well with my attorney and made it easy for me at every turn. I appreciate the efforts of the APWireless team.
We were funded today which was perfect timing as the roofer needed to be paid.
Thank you again,
