DEFEASANCE

CRF Defeasance is a full-service advisory and consulting platform that serves the specific needs of clients that desire to perfect the exit of fixed rate commercial mortgage-backed securities
(CMBS) or Agency (Freddie Mac) term loans prior to prepayment expiration by way of securities collateral substitution. 

This specialty services division of Clearview Realty Finance is led by Managing Director Scott Burnett, a 20-year veteran of the capital markets advisory industry who has managed the time sensitive complexities of over 6000 defeasance transactions totaling $75 billion in total asset valuation. This advisory platform provides enhanced risk management protocol, ensuring CRF clients benefit from the highest level of loan defeasance service and execution. Mr. Burnett’s breadth of experience in designing and structuring optimal portfolios of U.S. government obligations to duplicate required yields translates to substantive time and hard cost efficiencies for CRF borrowers.  

Beginning with compulsory examination of current loan documents, through sedulous coordination of all requisite parties and processes, and concluding with bond collateral swaps procurement and timely settlement, CRF Defeasance invariably demonstrates assiduous dedication to certainty of execution on behalf of advisory clientele.
