“Our firm had never been through a defeasance. Waterstone guided us through the process with great professionalism and efficiency. They also did an outstanding job of coordinating the work of the multiple parties involved in the transaction. We closed right on time and without a hitch. I would highly recommend Waterstone to borrowers defeasing their loans.”

“Many thanks to you and Carol on the professional and efficient defeasance of the five loans associated with the portfolio referenced above. As we begun the process, I never thought that the difficulty would come on the new origination side of the transaction. Your work on the defeasance side made a tough transaction much easier. I hope to have the chance to work with you again in the near future. Best wishes for continued success.”

“Waterstone has done an excellent job for us on a couple of defeasance transactions in our office. On my transaction, I found them to be incredibly flexible and responsive and available regularly until late hours in the evening (someone always picks up the phone). I will add that we had to defease early at the last minute, and Waterstone was all ready to go, with no stress. This group is on their game.”

“I just went through my first defeasance and we selected Waterstone. I had great apprehension about the process, but the Waterstone team was flawless in their execution and the loan was defeased with no issues. They are extremely responsive, professional and client friendly. The best news is that I really did not have to get involved in the process because of the confidence I had with the Waterstone team.”
