CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $6.9 million CMBS loan, secured by a mobile home property located in Bradenton, Florida. 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.

“This client had a very good understanding of the process and were a pleasure to work with during a rather turbulent market. We were able to aggressively buy the bonds at closing which resulted in a 30k saving on the transaction.” – John Felter, Director with Waterstone.
