CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $5.1 million CMBS loan, secured by a retail property in Tinley Park, 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.

“We were pleased the owner, who was selling the CVS in Tinley Park, chose to work with Waterstone on the defeasance. We worked diligently for months to keep him informed of his options and the cost as treasury yields fluctuated. Waterstone also appreciates the broker’s recommendation of our firm to assist with the defeasance.” – Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone

“Big thanks to Carol and the rest of the Waterstone team for all their help in this transaction.  They handled everything and it couldn’t have been a smoother process.” – Matt E., Sales Broker
