CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $1.2 million CMBS loan, secured by a retail property located in Douglasville, GA. Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ refinance of their loan.

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.

“Due to rates continuing to be favorable, the borrower chose to refinance their current debt on the IHop located in Douglasville, GA.  The current debt with a coupon of 7.75% was placed in 1998.  Counsel for the borrower has been a long-standing client and we appreciate his confidence in our ability to take care of his borrowers.  We look forward to working with him again in the near future.” – Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone Defeasance
