Testimonials
APWIP is currently growing by leaps and bounds. It is apparent to us that cell site owners nationwide appreciate our no-nonsense, businesslike approach, our ability to make some of the largest payouts in the business quickly and efficiently, and our flexible and sophisticated structuring approach that applies techniques that may be new in the relatively young cell site lease prepayment business – but are well-worn elsewhere in structured finance.
Of course, we are not asking you to take our word for it. The following are some of our success stories in our clients’ own words. These are recent testimonials, not 3-year-old “retreads”:
Starcevich Systems, Inc. – February 2012
RE: Recent Purchase of Our Cell Site Leases
Dear Mr. Overman,
I want to communicate to you my overall assessment of your company’s service quality related to your recent acquisition of my five cell site leases. Let me begin by stating that I have been contact by no less than four companies other than yours on many occasions too numerous to count for a number of years and until recent, my wife and I were adverse to selling our cell site revenue streams.
However, when I began to working with Lawrence Harvey, it was soon obvious to me that he was very knowledgeable about the cell site industry and after many conversations with him, ascertained that AP Wireless was a company set apart from the rest. Mr. Harvey represented AP Wireless with the highest professionalism. He was very informative, not pushy yet insistent on winning my business.
Through Mr. Harvey, AP Wireless demonstrated their willingness to accommodate my many requirements to consummate the transaction. My wife and I understood the real value of our wireless revenue streams and so did AP Wireless by presenting an offer commensurate to that value. After much consideration, and many offers from other companies, my wife and I decided to go with AP Wireless in large part due to the efforts of Mr. Harvey as well as the terms of your offer.
I would gladly recommend your company to anyone that is interested in selling their cell site rents. Your company did everything that was represented and we are very happy with the results of our decision to sell. Because of the structure of the transaction, I look forward to working with AP Wireless for years to come.
Sincerely,
Rodney D. Starcevich

Louis,
My partners and I would like to thank you and your team in helping us complete the sale of our hotel’s wireless antenna leases to AP Wireless Capital Partners. When we first learned that there are companies in the business who purchase these leases we did not have any knowledge about why or how the process works. My first phone conversation with you not only gave me clarity on the whole process, but your honesty with the information you provided convinced me AP Wireless is the company we should sell the leases to. You were very transparent with the information and valuations of the leases. My partners and I really appreciate the information in helping us access the sale. We will highly recommend other business owners with cell sites to work with you and AP Wireless.
Thank you very much for all your efforts in completing the sale.
Regards,

Mr. Wagner,
The purpose of this letter is to thank you for your involvement in making the sale of our wireless communication site a smooth transaction. I also appreciate the assistance provided by Lawrence Harvey.
From our first contact with your company, I noted your commitment to determining what our needs would be. From the first obstacle I presented, the fact we would only sell out site in fee simple, and until negotiations were complete you maintained a win/win posture.
Our firm has been approached many times over the past several years from other entities interested in purchasing our wireless communication site and/or income stream. Your company stands head and shoulders above the others. I commend you for your commitment to excellence
Sincerely,

Michele Schabbing – December 2011
To whom it may concern:
My husband and I recently spoke to David Fairfax several times regarding a cell phone tower lease buyout. David was very patient and informative during this process. He was friendly and polite at all times and really was the very key that put this deal together. Without speaking to David the whole time during the process I’m not sure that we would have made any kind of agreement. We really appreciate all the help and information that he shared with us. No matter how many times I called David and asked questions he always was helpful and very patient.
Thank you,
Michele Schabbing

Bryan:
I wanted to let you know that my experience in this transaction has impressed me to no end. It is a sheer pleasure doing business with people that know what they are doing. I was a little dubious about this closing taking place as you told me, but it actually closed sooner than I expected and the money was transferred to my bank before I expected it. Everything took place just as you said, I really appreciate you keeping me informed as the transaction progressed, even your call to tell me that my monies had already been wire transferred to in my Bank.
Rating this business deal from 0 to 10, I give it a 10. In all my years of conducting business, this has been the smoothest transaction I have ever been involved in. Thanks again for making it a pleasure doing business with APWIP.

Attn: Tim Groves
While we are not in the “cell phone antenna” business, we have appreciated the unexpected financial gains due to our selling the roof top site to APWIP.
The transactions were handled professionally and always with courtesy. Any questions we had were promptly answered.
While we merely signed the paperwork, APWIP did all the legwork in order to get us our check in a timely manner.
Thank you APWIP!!

Holiday Inn, St. Paul MN – November 2011
To whom it may concern:
The purpose of this note is to provide a testimonial on the service and follow-up on a transaction that we executed with the APWIP Staff, Dan Hasselman and Michael Salas.
We would like to thank Dan and Michael for making this a smooth and simple transaction for us. We initially decided to go with a competitor but when that company could not deliver as promised, APWIP stood by us and continued their support 100%. They were very patient and took the time to educate us. I was pleasantly surprised by their professionalism and how upper management was very “hands on” during the transaction. They were flexible, honest and upfront from the beginning. We were promised a smooth and swift transaction and they exceeded our expectations. We look forward to one day doing business again with APWIP.
Best Regards,

James and Michelle Ricks – November 2011
Dear Christie and APWIP Staff:
My husband and I would like to give you and your company many thanks for handling our tower deal. We know a CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME was taken for this PROJECT. We do think that you had our interest as well as yours in mind! This, alone, is commendable! James and I have inherited property, so we want to be responsible and make correct informed choices.
We were glad that you showed great empathy and patience with us! We did have many special issues that needed to be addressed! Your company took time and researched each issue. For example, the AT&T hook-up.
In conclusion, Christie took our special circumstance as more than an obligation, but a privilege to calculate the best for us all!!

Bello Family LLC – November 2011
On November 11, 2011 we completed a transaction with AP Wireless on the sale of a cell tower lease. My contact at AP Wireless was Timothy Nunn. Mr. Nunn approached me and discussed a comprehensive summary of the proposed transactions, the benefit to our LLC, the benefits to AP Wireless and the strength of their company. Previously we had been involved in negotiations with the cell tower tenant to acquire a permanent easement. After months of negotiations and confusion, that proposal was abandoned. It was refreshing to receive concise information from Mr. Nunn.
Every commitment of documentation and action was performed before the commitment deadline. Mr. Nunn was my liaison between AP Wireless attorneys and closing personnel. He was attentive to both our LLC needs and the needs of AP Wireless. Closing was simple! A notary and closing agent came to my office for document signing. On the day of signing, there was one minor change to the closing statement. Mr. Nunn had the document updated and emailed to me within 5 minutes. I was impressed. The transaction closed the following day and funds were wired to our account.
Having reviewed Mr. Nunn’s documentation and completing our review of income stream, we found the value to be fair in the market place. The transaction was easy, quick and professional. I highly recommend the services AP Wireless and especially Mr. Timothy Nunn to anyone considering a similar transaction.
Sincerely,

Michael Haberman, on behalf of June Bramble – October 2011
To whom it may Concern,
My name is Michael Haberman, and acting on the behalf of my mother-in-law, June Bramble, I coordinated with Adam Silver of APWIP for the sale of her lease with T-Mobile.
I am writing to inform you that I consider myself very fortunate to have had Adam Silver to work with. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. He was more than willing to assist me in whatever I needed. He could be reached at any time and always answered my questions and made me feel comfortable. He may have been talking with a client, but made me feel like a friend. I wish I could work with more people like Adam.
In closing, I would like to express my complete satisfaction with Adam and APWIP. Thank you for a very smooth and painless transaction.
Very Respectfully,
Michael Haberman

Dear Scott,
Thank you for conducting a smooth transaction and unlocking our idle equity in our communications tower in Durham, North Carolina. The securitization of our revenue stream was timely and of competitive market value. From letter of intent to closing AP Wireless executed efficiently, professionally and with no divergence from pricing or process as originally set forth. I appreciate your extra effort in working with the legal matters associated with our lender and making this transaction happen. Let’s do another one!

To whom it may concern.
I recently had the experience of working with Jack Nicholas of AP Wireless on a purchase of our cell tower. In this day and age I find that most transactions drag on. Dealing with Jack and his company was a refreshing change. They were very responsive, professional and closed the transaction in short order.
Sincerely,

John Klinnert – August 2011
I would like to personally thank AP Wireless, and specifically Michael Salas, for working with us on a recent cell tower transaction. Michael was very patient, courteous and honest in the time we dealt with him. AP Wireless was very flexible with our bank to make sure everyone was satisfied with the terms of the sale. The closing happened quickly and professionally. They were straight-forward to work with and I would highly recommend them for any transaction you might be considering with them.

L4, LLC – July 2011
My group has sold 5 tower leases in the last 14 months. The highest price, quickest closing and least hassle was the transaction with AP Wireless Partners, LLC. We have other sites/leases we are considering disposing of, and the first call will be to Bryan Payad at AP Wireless. Negotiating the contract terminology with Scott Langeland was easy. Their professionalism and quickness to finalize this latest transaction was greatly appreciated, and I recommend their services to anyone considering selling cell site leases.

Lon L. Baptista – July 2011
I decided to call APWIP after receiving a flyer from them in the mail. I contacted Bruce Young and felt he was very professional, knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. All documentation was provided resulting in a quick and easy transaction that I believe was very fair. He kept me updated throughout the entire process. Bottom line: there were no surprises. He did what they said he would do. I would definitely do business with APWIP again.
Thanks,

Kullman Associates, LLC – July 2011
Dear Jerry,
I wanted to take a few moments to thank you very much for your help and professionalism throughout the recent transaction that was completed between my company and AP Wireless Infrastructure Partners.
From the first conversation to the closing of the transaction, everything that you told me was true and correct. You always delivered on your promises. I was always able to count on you to help process the transaction through some of the challenges that arose throughout the transaction. You and your team were very efficient during the due diligence portion of the transaction, and always worked hard to solve any problem that came up. The communication with all of you was very good throughout the process and everybody was easily accessible.
Your attorney was very easy to work with regarding the contract language changes that my attorney requested. The entire transaction was finalized in a very reasonable period of time.
I would definitely recommend your services to anyone that wants to complete this type of transaction. I also would be happy to talk to anyone about the superior service that I received from you and others at AP Wireless.
Thank you again for all your help.

Louis,
I just wanted to thank you for such a smooth and professional contract process we had in the sale of the cell tower from Omnibank to AP Wireless Infrastructure Partners. We did not have any exception in the contract process.
All parties worked in a diligent manner in order to complete the transaction quickly. Stewart Title did a great escrow job. I would certainly recommend you to any of my associates in the industries to work with AP Wireless if they had a cell tower lease to sell.
Thanks again for all your hard work. Hope we can work together on another deal.

Dear Mr. Caverly,
I’ve appraised, bought, sold and managed real estate for a long time. In all my years your company was one of the best to work with. All negotiations were straight-forward and you did what you said you would do. There were no surprises and you worked in an efficient manner to bring the close of the cell tower we sold you to completion.
I wish you the best in future transactions and hope to meet you face-to-face when I travel to Southern California.

Dear Sirs,
It was a pleasure working with Lawrence Harvey, VP Site Acquisitions & Development for APWIP, regarding the cell tower lease transaction with our Company. I was under the impression that this type of transaction would usually take many months to complete and be complicated.
The AP Wireless team completed the transaction in 35 days and took all the question marks out of the legal jargon usually associated with these contracts. I was very pleased with your offer, which was the highest of several companies and your professionalism throughout the negotiations.

We have been very pleased with the relationship we have had with Tim Groves in your San Diego office of AP Wireless. He kept us informed every step of the way with personal phone calls, not phone messages. He answered all of our questions and promised we would have our check within 30 days and we did.
Thank you so very much!

Dealing with Ethan Woodill and AP Wireless Infrastructure Partners 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.

Cogswell Marine & Motorsports – March 2011
Dear AP Wireless,
Thank you for completing our lease prepayment transaction. We were very impressed and surprised at how smoothly everything went, including the funding, you and your title team went above and beyond to accommodate us, as we were out of town for the closing and you sent a notary to us at our convenience for the signing. When we had a question about the final documents and needed an answer quickly, the CEO of APWIP called us personally and answered our question and took care of the problem immediately. All verbal and written correspondence was delivered as promised and your company stepped up and offered us the highest purchase price.
We would highly recommend your company and look forward to doing business with you on future projects. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding our experience with APWIP.

Just wanted to let you know the deal has closed. I was surprised on the ease of how quickly the deal closed and with the professionalism of your staff. Most importantly was how user friendly the contract is without all of the legal clauses I had found with a competitor of yours. They even wanted to charge me for the closing. Thanks again.

Grand Pacific Resorts – December 2010
We at Grand Pacific Resorts, have control over multiple cellular antennas at multiple locations, which created a very complex transaction. We contacted several companies who purchase cell site leases, and requested proposals from each.
We chose APWIP because they offered the simplest terms, a solid price, and promised to close within 60 days. Working with Eric, Dan and Mark was a pleasure. They never over-promised and they were excellent communicators during the closing process.
We ended up closing the transaction right on time at the price and terms that were agreed upon. We are very happy that we chose APWIP.

VFW 4248 – December 2010
On behalf of everyone at the VFW 4248, I want to thank APWIP for helping us raise money. Your company executed exactly as you said you would from start to finish. I am impressed by the fact you were able to close immediately after the board approved the transaction. You responded to all of our questions and comments in a timely, professional and honest manner. All of our contract suggestions were discussed and accepted with ease by your General Counsel. Thank you to everyone on your staff. It was truly a pleasure working with you and I would highly recommend your firm to any organization that has a cell site.

Central Vacuum Stores – November 2010
Thank you very much for completing my lease prepayment transaction on my MetroPCS site. I would highly recommend your company to anyone. Besides being very professional, you delivered what you promised and funded very quickly and reliably. The entire transaction took 30 days from start to finish and you didn’t ask for a lot of paperwork. I really appreciate the fact that you did not charge closing costs or prorated rents like the other company I spoke to. The number you quoted me at the beginning was the number I received when we closed.
Overall, I think the process went very smooth and everybody inside and outside your organization worked together as a team to make sure it was an efficient process and that customer satisfaction was achieved.
Thank you very much and do not hesitate to use me as a reference.
Sincerely,
Roger Ambrose

Red Hawk Partners, Ltd. – November 2010
Ethan,
Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with the deal we were able to strike on the sale of the Contimite Tower to AP Wireless, and how quickly we were able to get the deal closed. As you know our timetable was constrained because of a number of ancillary deals we were working simultaneously with and contingent upon this sale, and the fact your firm was able to negotiate a fair sales deal, then work quickly through the legal side of the deal enabled my investors to achieve all of their objectives. Frankly, I was amazed and pleased at how quickly and smoothly things went. As you know, I have attempted to work with a number of tower companies in the sale of tower assets, and I can confidently say working with you and your team was not only painless, it was a pleasure. Because of this positive experience, we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again on future tower sales. If there is anything more you need from us, please advise. Also, if there are any potential clients you have that need some consultative guidance in valuing and working through selling their tower sites, please let me know as I will be more than happy to help them see how a sale to AP is the right move for them to make.
Until next time,
Charles E. Eckert, Jr.

Church in Maryland – October 2010
When Louis called with a payout offer from APWIP, 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 APWIP’s 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 APWIP!

Brookridge Community Church – October 2010
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 APWIP team.
We were funded today which was perfect timing as the roofer needed to be paid.
Thank you again,
Nancy Basilicato
