CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $6.7 million CMBS loan, secured by a mobile home property located in Davie, Florida. 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.

“Since the property was in Florida, hurricane activity forced the transaction to be delayed. We were happy for our client that there were no serious issues and the sale did close within six weeks of their original closing schedule.”– Carol Tillman, COO at Waterstone.
