AST Defeasance is the first choice of commercial real estate borrowers and lenders looking for the highest quality and lowest cost defeasance consultants.
There are real differences between AST Defeasance and its competitors:
1) NO UPFRONT FEES. We don't get paid until the deal closes.
2) We offer the lowest cost defeasance services in the industry since we refuse to partner with individual broker-dealers. AST collects multiple bids from the largest investment banks on Wall Street.
3) We'll close your deal in 2 weeks guaranteed.
4) We have a 100% closing track record.
5) AST Defeasance assesses each commercial real estate deal individually, utilizing state-of-the-art techniques to lower defeasance costs, including Residual Sharing, Defeasing to the Open Window and Competitive Securities Pricing and Custom-Made Securities.
We know that defeasance is often the smallest part of our clients’ commercial real estate refinancings or sales. AST Defeasance manages the entire defeasance process from start to finish so you can focus on your closing.
