CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $5.7 million CMBS loan, secured by a retail property in Wheaton, IL. 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.

“Waterstone appreciates the broker’s referral of their client to facilitate the defeasance for the loan.  The sale of the CVS in Wheaton, IL drove the defeasance. This was the borrower’s first defeasance transaction, and he was extremely pleased with our closing team and the ease of getting his transaction to the goal line. We look forward to working with the group again.” – Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone
