"If you have commercial real estate, want to buy or sell commercial real estate, need to find commercial tenants or need to negotiate lease terms with current tenants, Commercial Realty Solutions and Wayne Elam are the professionals you must contact! Their knowledge, extensive experience, familiarity with this areas commercial real estate market and network of related professionals (attorneys, bankers, contractors, etc.) make them the "go to professional" to get things done. Wayne brought me a potential tenant, convinced them they needed to be in my building, negotiated the lease, found and worked with the contractors to do the build-out, handled all problems and entanglements and throughout was professional, positive and efficient. The whole process could not have gone any better. I am fully convinced that if Wayne and CRS had not been involved, none of the above would have happened. P.S. CRS does charge for their services but my partner and I don't think he cost us a dime; in fact, they put "big money" in our pockets due to their lease negotiating skills.

"We have been working with Wayne Elam over the past eight months in an effort to sell commercial property and raw land. In that time, he has completed a sale for one commercial building in an incredibly bad real estate market. We have been very pleased with his communication, marketing pieces and efforts to sell our properties. We are continuing to work with him on the remaining properties. We would not hesitate to recommend him to others for their real estate needs."

"My name is Glen Posusta. I own A-Max Self Storage in Monticello. I would like to let you folks know what a great job Mr. Wayne Elam has done for me. Because of the buyer’s, the sale of my property was very long---almost eight months. It finally came to fruition at the end of December, 2008. Mr. Elam was very professional and patient throughout the process. I know without him as the catalyst, this transaction would not have occurred. Mr. Elam also seems to be very interested in Monticello’s future. As a councilman for the city, his enthusiasm for Monticello is refreshing."

"Working with Wayne Elam at Commercial Realty Solutions, LLC was one of the easiest things that has ever happened with All Elements! He was truly a breath of fresh air when it came to helping us find a building that suited us. We were dealing with a real estate agent that was a friend that had no idea of what we were looking for or how to use the products for commercial buildings. When we met Wayne on the golf course at the Monticello Chamber Golf Tournament, we briefly told him what we were looking for and sure enough, he said he had a building he would like us to see. Once we decided on that building, he walked us through every single step of the way from dealing with the bank and the sellers to dealing with the City of Monticello in getting the conditional use permit! He went above and beyond his call of duty. Thanks to Wayne and Commercial Realty Solutions, LLC."
— Tara Thurber, Vice President, All Elements, Inc.

"This letter is to acknowledge the high level of professionalism and aptitude that Wayne Elam and CRS showed during our recent commercial real estate transaction. Prior to meeting Wayne we had experienced nothing but frustration with several attempted commercial transactions. However, once we had met with Wayne and enlisted him as our Commercial Broker he was able to navigate us through a complex transaction that seemed effortless with his expertise. With Wayne and CRS it wasn't just about "getting the deal done" as he took every measure to ensure that our transaction went smoothly and seamlessly. On multiple occasions he went above and beyond "just being the agent" to help with other issues involved with the purchase. It is this kind of integrity that bespeaks a great and trustworthy broker that gave us complete confidence in Wayne's capabilities. For anyone even considering a commercial transaction either buying or selling, we can honestly recommend Wayne and CRS without reservation."
— Wayne Jandik and Larry Anhalt, St. Cloud Liquidation

Thanks Commercial Realty Solutions and Wayne for making my job easier!"
