CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed two defeasance transactions totaling $2.6 million in CMBS loans, both secured by retail properties in TX.  Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ sale of their properties.

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.

“These transactions were very interesting to be a part of.  The loans had been securitized almost 18 years ago and were reaching their maturity in the next few years.  The borrower decided to sell the properties prior to maturity which resulted in defeasing both loans.  All parties were great to work with and made this a smooth transaction.”- Addison McMillan, Director with Waterstone

“I was extremely satisfied with the services that Waterstone provided.  They were very knowledgeable, professional and attentive to the needs of all parties involved with this closing.”- Sales Broker
