CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction on a $26.0 million CMBS loan, secured by a multifamily property in Greensboro, NC. 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.

“We view both the borrower and the mortgage banker as our clients, and work hard to ensure the defeasance transaction goes smoothly while they focus on the other aspects of the deal,” said Steve Hall, Managing Director at Waterstone.
