Some lease consultants serve landowners, while at the same time working for wireless carriers. We see that as a conflict of interest. Since it’s conception in January 2004, Steel in the Air has been servicing property owners almost exclusively in wireless lease negotiations against wireless carriers, cell tower companies and lease buyout companies. In addition to representing over 2,500 property owners (including municipal governments, universities, major airports, condo associations and individual landowners), we perform cell site audits and evaluate tower portfolios for appraisers, investors and owners of wireless assets.
