Since closing its first defeasance in 2006, AST Defeasance has consistently remained the first choice of both borrowers and lenders looking for the highest quality and lowest cost defeasance calculator and consultants. As one of the only defeasance companies without upfront fees, AST Defeasance is strictly performance based and doesn’t take a penny unless the deal to defease closes. Unlike its competitors, AST Defeasance refuses to partner with individual broker-dealers, offering borrowers the cheapest defeasance possible by collecting multiple bids from the largest investment banks on Wall Street. AST has maintained a perfect track record, closing 100% of deals to defease for which it was retained, including more than 200 defeasances with balances totaling more than $2 billion. Rather than simply executing old fashioned defeasance processes, AST Defeasance assesses each deal individually, utilizing state-of-the-art techniques to constantly lower defeasance costs. No other company can combine ingenuity, know-how and customer service like AST. We know that defeasance is often the smallest part of our customers’ refinancings or sales, and we take pride in our customers entrusting us with their deals. As your consultant, AST Defeasance will take care of everything from start to finish, guaranteeing the lowest cost possible and removing your defeasance headache so you can focus on your closing.
