Landowners collecting billboard rent
Trade your billboard lease for a lump sum, today.
If a billboard on your property is paying you rent, you can keep collecting it year after year — or take one cash payment now and be done waiting on it. The sign doesn't move. You keep the land either way.

The honest answer to what this actually is
A lease buyout gets pitched in a lot of confusing ways. Here's the plain version of the three questions people actually have.
What happens to the sign?
Nothing changes at the sign. It stays exactly where it is, and it keeps operating. A buyout doesn’t take the billboard down or interrupt the operator running it — it changes who’s on the other end of the lease.
Do I keep the land?
Yes. A lease buyout is about the lease — the income you’re collecting from it — not the property underneath it. The land is still yours, to use, sell, or pass on however you want.
What does a lease assignment actually involve?
Your existing agreement with the billboard operator gets transferred to us. We step into your position as the party who holds that lease going forward. You get one payment now instead of a series of smaller ones over the years remaining on it. It’s paperwork, not a change to the sign or the land.
Why a lump sum now can beat rent later
Rent paid over twenty years is worth less than the same total paid today — that's just what money does over time. On top of that, a lease is a bet on things staying the same: the operator stays in business, the sign stays up, the road doesn't get rerouted, the lease gets renewed on terms you'd accept. Most of the time those things hold. Sometimes they don't, and you find out only when a check stops showing up.
A lump sum moves that risk off your plate. It also puts cash in your hands for whatever is actually useful to you right now — paying something off, reinvesting it, or just not having it tied up in a decades-long contract you didn't originally choose.
This isn't always the right move
If your lease has room built in to increase, if you don't need the cash right now, or if you'd simply rather keep the recurring income than have one payment, a buyout may not be the better deal for you — and we'll tell you that if it's what the numbers say. We'd rather you make the right call for your situation than take an offer you'll regret.
The only way to know which side of that line you're on is to see the actual number for your specific lease. That's what the form gets you — no pressure to act on it either way.

Questions landowners ask
Will my operator be told, or need to sign off?
A lease assignment typically requires notifying the operator, sometimes their consent depending on how your lease is written. We handle that conversation once you decide to move forward — it’s not something you have to manage yourself.
What if I don’t know my exact rent or years remaining?
That’s fine — those fields are optional on the form. We’ll ask for whatever we need to put together a real number, and it’s no obligation to accept it once we have it.
Is there any obligation once I submit the form?
None. You'll get a cash offer in 48 hours, and it's yours to think over, compare, or decline.
How is this different from just selling the land?
Selling land transfers the property itself. A lease buyout only touches the lease and the income it produces — you keep the property. If you’re also interested in leasing more of your land for a new sign, that’s a separate conversation.
