CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction on an $18 million agency loan, secured by a multifamily property located in Duluth, GA. 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.

“We enjoyed working with this borrower group again for another smooth defeasance transaction.  We continue to see a lot of activity in the multifamily space and expect that trend to remain as property value keep increasing and capital is readily available.  As short-term treasury rates increase, it brings the cost to defease down, and more and more clients are taking advantage of the current market to exit out of their existing debt.”- Addison McMillan, Director with Waterstone Defeasance
