CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $8.1 million CMBS loan, secured by a multifamily property in Decatur, GA. Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ sale of their property.

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 again to close on the sale of their 373 unit multifamily property in GA.  The closing was delayed due to an unfortunate incident on the property, however, we were able to close the transaction without additional cost to the client.” –  Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone
