CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $2.7 million CMBS loan, secured by a self- storage property in Charleston, SC. Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ sale of their property.

As the defeasance consultant, Waterstone managed the activities of the numerous parties involved with the transaction in order to meet the borrower’s closing schedule. Parties associated with a defeasance transaction typically include the servicer, servicer’s counsel, borrower, borrower’s counsel, securities broker, custodian, accountant, rating agencies, and the successor borrower.

“Addison was responsive and available on a moment’s notice.  Excellent service!” – Tom Gutfredson, BKF Law.

“We tracked this sale for a few months with the owner and broker who enabled us to kick the defeasance off early and ensure a smooth closing.  All involved were readily available and great to work with.  I look forward to facilitating more defeasance with them in the future.” – Addison McMillan, Waterstone Defeasance.
