Why choose Four Sail Realty to market your home for sale?

Last year the average real estate agent sold less than three homes!

Brian Ellwanger and the Four Sail Realty Team sold more than 900 percent more homes

than the average agent last year alone. To sell more homes in this market, you need a

huge marketing plan with a massive budget.

Four Sail Realty is a team of local real estate and industry experts dedicated to helping

you sell your home. We can help set the right price, create a marketing campaign with

web and media and follow a proven formula that will match your home with the right

buyers at the right price.

What is the (MLS)? The Multiple Listing Service is the Local Association of REAL-

TORS® computerized list of properties currently for sale. The MLS is an exclusive tool,

and is the primary tool used by real estate agents to find properties for their buyers, and

for most real estate agents and buyers, it is the only tool they need to find the right prop-

erty for them. Real estate agents and brokers can search the MLS daily to find potential

matches for their buyers, and when new listings are entered, they are immediately evalu-

ated by thousands of Agents with prospective buyers, making your house immediately

popular.

MLS FACTS (this is for general purposes as markets vary from year to year, market to

market etc.)

According to the National Association of REALTOR’s ®, approx. 85% of all U.S.

properties are sold through Brokers using the MLS. In addition, properties listed

on the MLS average net proceeds of approx. 7% higher than properties sold for sale

by owner. That is proof of how the MLS will give you maximum exposure which is

key to a successful transaction.

Where do buyers come from?

This means that listing your home for sale on the MLS will increase your listing expo-

sures by a whopping 63% (see internet and agent sections). Most agents today subscribe to a local MLS and have a real estate website with an IDX home search tool. Average agents utilize these to increase your listing exposure and for marketing your property for sale.

What is the market value of your home? (Through the eyes of a buyer)

The market value of your property is not: What you have in it. What you need out of it. What you owe against it. What you want. What it appraised for. What your neighbor’s house sold for. What the county assessor says it is worth. How much it is insured for. Your memories and treasures. The price of homes where you are moving.

The market value of your property is “what a buyer is willing to pay, and what you are willing to sell for” based on:

Today’s market conditions. Today’s competition and the buyer’s other choices. Today’s interest rates and financing terms. Today’s economic condition (design preferences of buyers). The buyer’s perception of the physical condition. The location, location, location. Normal marketing time. Showing accessibility.

As a seller, you control: If you want to sell the property. The asking price. The terms-financing, closing, possession, inclusions. The condition of the property. Access to the property.

As a seller, you do not control: Market conditions-Supply and Demand. Interest Rates. The location. The motivation (pricing and condition) of your competition. The motivation and capability of buyers.

On a scale of 1-10, properties that are the “10′s” are the ones that are selling. How can your property be a “10″? By improving the economic condition (design preferences). By improving the physical condition (pre-inspection). By improving the way the property shows (staging). By offering attractive terms-financing, closing, possession, inclusions. By pricing so you are near the “front of the line”.

Brian Ellwanger and Isabelle Wright Receives New

“Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE®)” Designation

Professional negotiation skills are necessary for all real estate agents

in helping home buyers and sellers, especially in the current market.

Brian Ellwanger and Isabelle Wright have been awarded the Cer tified Negotiation Exper t (CNE)

designation from the Real Estate Negotiation Institute (RENI). The CNE is earned by real estate profes-

sionals after successfully completing formal negotiation training over two days. Agents who receive

this certification are among the top agents in the country in negotiation skills.

With professional negotiation skills, agents are able to help clients obtain better results in the sale or

purchase of their home. CNE agents have a higher skill level which enables them to 1) communicate

more effectively to uncover desired information, 2) help clients understand their options, 3) work col-

laboratively with others, and 4) resolve deadlocks. CNE agents have a thorough understanding of how

to negotiate effectively to help achieve their client’s goals.

The Real Estate Negotiation Institute is the leading negotiation training and coaching company in the

real estate industry. Collectively, the Real Estate Negotiation Institute’s instructors have over 300 years

of real estate and negotiation experience. Tom Hayman, the CEO and Co-Founder of the Real Estate

Negotiation Institute, asserts: “Any Buyer or Seller who hires a CNE agent can feel confident they have

one of the best trained negotiators in real estate. They should achieve superior results and have better

resolution of all issues when represented by a CNE agent.”

For more information visit www.theRENI.com.

There are many things we can say about the high quality of service we provide to our home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent cli-ents themselves. So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate our experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much we enjoy helping people with their real es-tate needs.

Client Testimonials (a small sampling, more available upon request)

Brian is amazing! He helped us with pricing, suggested what fixes we should make and gave us a say in what we as the seller had in mind. Ultimately his expertise in the area sold our house. We can't thank him enough!

Bill and Kim S. Seller-Dacono (2 transactions with us) 1 buy, 1 sell

Brian was absolutely wonderful to work with. I was looking for a realtor that not only understood the Longmont market, but also had a large network to help promote my property. I interviewed several agents and Brian was the only one that truly understood my concerns and could answer my tough ques-tions. He was always available to answer my questions and provided constant updates on the activity of my property while Shari made sure I had dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's with required paperwork and information. They helped me stay one step ahead through the entire process. It was incredible, from list date to close date took less than two weeks and I received multiple great offers. Thank you Brian and Shari for all of your help!!!

Ginger R. Seller-Longmont 2015

Isabelle is great to work with. She offers her advice but also makes it very clear that she will take the actions that you choose. I also appreciated her flexibility and patience as I changed my mind multiple times.

Lisa S. Buyer 2015

My husband and I were moving from out of state, and knew we needed an agent that would be detailed-oriented and responsive to our needs. We found them when we worked with Brian and Shari! Moving from out of state can be stressful and Brian and Shari actually make it enjoyable. They kept us informed of every deadline that needed to be met and responded to every email very promptly. We are particular about any service provider we work with, and Brian and Shari have spoiled us for anyone else! To say they were professional, courteous and fun to work with is an understatement They are the BEST AGENTS around. Do yourself a favor and contact this dy-namic duo for your real estate needs.

Pat and Mary O. Buyer-Loveland

We moved to Colorado end of 2012. We rented a place for a year until we could get to know the area etc. We begin looking for various properties to get an idea of the market etc. Some of the places re-quired that they be presented by a Realtor. I guess we got Lucky because after a bit of searching some-how I got Brian's connection and called him. I briefly explained that we had no intent on moving again and that we were simply trying to get a feel for the market. I also told Brian that I was possibly interest-ed in a couple of rental units. He said he understood and would help us out. He never expressed any dis-pleasure with us "using" him. To sum up we bought a Townhome for Rental income then we discovered a residence we thought would work for us. It had already been pulled off the market because they had a firm offer on it and would not show it any longer. I asked Brian if there was anything he could do. Brian pulled the Rabbit out of the hat. He convinced them to show it to us. We are now the proud owner of our private residence + a total of 4 rental units all purchased through 4sail Realty. In addition to Brian his Partner Shari is one of the most efficient, caring people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. On more than one occasion she, on her own saved us money on the deal and or at Closing. They are an ex-ceptional team to work with AND they ALWAYS have their clients best interests in mind!

“Cameron and Isabelle are awesome! They explained everything we needed to know about our home purchase and selling.

Thanks guys!!!” Tiffany F. (1 Buy, 1 Sell 2015)

Dear Brian and Shari, We wanted to thank you for the tremendous job you did in helping us sell our house. When we came to you we had to sell our house quickly because of a job transfer to Philadelphia. We were also panicked because houses on the market were taking an average of 90 to 120 days to sell and we simply could not wait that long. Your expert advice, knowledge of real estate industry, and cur-rent market trends reassured us that things would go well. Indeed, the process of selling our house went better than we could possibly imagine as our house came under contract in 10 days! Of course that is not the end of the story. The buyer was a bear to deal with, asking for many things that we felt were unrea-sonable. Nevertheless, you consistently and immediately approached every situation with the highest professional demeanor and with our best interest in mind.

Throughout the process you were very candid in discussing the finer points of the real estate industry, were always available, amazingly flexible, and highly motivated to do what ever it would take to sell our house at the price we wanted and in the time we needed. For all your work we are truly grateful.

Sincerely, Steve and Cally G. (1 sell)

Brian a (Navy Man) was awesome. We love him and his wife Shari…helped us find the perfect home for our family in Loveland. James and Denise W. (1 Buy)

After dealing with a worthless realtor from one of the big national real estate companies who did noth-

ing to market my property other than waiting for the phone to ring, I gave Brian and Shari a call based

on my step daughters experience with them years earlier. They sprung into action, figuring out what

needed to be done to sell the property at a reasonable market price. After a mere $500 upgrade to in-

crease the curb appeal, they aggressively marketed it and scheduled an open house. Well, we received

and accepted an offer before the open house day even rolled around! Eight days on the market and we

were under contract after five weeks without an offer from the lazy realtor we replaced. Brian and Shari

kept in constant touch with us throughout the contract period and we closed on time without a hitch.

You want a good real estate team? Here it is. You want a lazy realtor who does nothing in your best in-

terest? Go with one of the national real estate companies. Thanks for everything, Four Sail Realty!

“Brian has helped me buy three properties and he is my first thought when someone needs a good Real-tor or even good real estate advice. My mom just bought a vacation home in the area, and I told her she should work with Brian. She did, and she had a great experience. Great, Great, Businessman. He will work hard for you if you are his customer!”

Brian,

You Rock ! Thank you so very much for your dedication and hard work. You made the home buying and selling process so easy! We’ll miss our daily conversations- sometimes multiple daily calls! We appreciate all you sacri-ficed to help us through this process. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Sincerely,

Laura and Travis M. 1 Buy, 1 Sell

Brian and Shari,

We can’t thank you enough for helping us find our house when we decided to move from the mountains to the city. You answered all of our phone calls, all of our questions and all of our concerns with regards to buying a new home, in a city we were unfamiliar with. We love our house! You guys were there for us every step of the way and made us feel as though we were your most important clients! Thank you. John and Page K.

About Us continued...

And when it comes to helping people buy and sell real estate, I’m the real McCoy.

I’ve got 11+ years of experience as a real estate sales professional, marketing and communication

virtuoso-and I have helped literally hundreds of people make their dreams come true.

I have spent over 6 years in residential and commercial development along the front range which

eventually moved me into Real Estate sales and Investment properties.

I have been actively licensed in Colorado since 2004. I help both buyers and sellers navigate

through the process of buying and selling.

I am a Certified Negotiation Expert®, HUD designated agent and have been a Top Ranked agent for

over 11 years.

I'm committed to building life-long relationships one client at a time. And the friendship doesn’t

end when the transaction closes. I will be your real estate consultant for life. I promise!

Some of the clients I have had the pleasure to help have worked with me and my team

on more than one purchase or sale and some have even joined our “8 timers club”!

I was raised in Spearfish, SD and moved to Colorado over 20 years ago because of my love for rock

climbing and outdoor adventure. And when I’m not overseeing all the transactional details

(actually my assistant “DEETS” does this) and negotiating agreements in a real estate transaction-you

can find me riding my mountain bike at Heil Ranch and surrounding trails, bouldering or rock climbing

with friends, out on a date with my lovely wife Shari or at a concert at one of the many venues in the

Denver area with my wife and daughter.




Shari A. Ellwanger Executive Assistant Certified Home Staging Professional a.k.a. “DEETS” (DEETS stands for details ;) I have over twenty years collectively in customer service, management, marketing, home staging

and sales experience. I hold a strong management background and attention to details (the DEETS) is something that

comes naturally to me and what I love about real estate (all that paperwork and deadlines) brings me such joy!

I bring a level of confidence to all of the transactions and clients that Brian interacts and works with

because I literally go over paperwork line by line more than once to ensure it is accurate before sending it to a client or other agent. I hate (hate is such a strong word) I mean I really get annoyed when other agents send offers to purchase and the boxes are marked wrong, or not marked as they should be or they miss-spelled clients names or worse, sent the wrong file and didn’t even know it!

Brian and I have been called “The Dynamic Duo” by many satisfied friends/clients because together

we are the BEST in the business…and sometimes you have to “toot your own horn” -Donald Trump I was born and raised in Boulder. Attended Fairview High School (Go Knights!) And when I am not preparing paperwork, researching properties for sale and scheduling appointments, updating our real estate websites or overseeing the transactional details (imagine lots and lots of emails and calls to lend-ers, appraisers, title companies, other agents, inspectors etc…) you can find me playing guitar (OK sort of playing guitar) and singing, hiking with Brian at Rabbit Mountain or running around McIntosh Lake and hanging out with our dog Meja (a.k.a. Har, MeHar, Har Har) or our dog Tomo (short for Tomo-dachi) means good friend in Japanese. Or laughing with our hysterical rock star daughter Maddy.




If you’ve just GOT to know more, read on. (We will pretend you’re Barbara Walters, and spill

our secrets. ;)

Shari-I love to bake & am damn good at it, but I can’t cook worth a lick! (whatever that means) be-

cause there are not enough rules to follow.

4. Brian and Shari-We go through spurts of going “gluten free” or “GF” but every spring when the

warm weather returns, we can’t help but crave and indulge in a good cold IPA beer. Best to experi-

ence it on our front porch with our friends and neighbors while we catch up on life. Colorado is

known for its award winning breweries so it’s only fair to support them!

5. Brian and Shari-“SNL” Saturday Night Live-We both have enjoyed laughing and watching SNL

since it first aired 40 years ago…we can’t imagine life without it, it IS a staple in our household

(much like eggs, OJ or toothpaste) is in most homes!




6. Brian and Shari-H-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n is a BIG deal at our home! Every year each family member se-

cretly creates there costume from scratch and reveals it on Halloween night…years past we have

seen everything from MedVeds “Dealin Doug”, Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda, Lady Gaga

(handmade dress out of decks of playing cards), Freddie Mercury, “Pat” from SNL, and Napoleon

Dynamite to name a few.

Attending music concerts & meeting celebrities and somehow always figuring out a way to upgrade

our seats to include V.I.P. access and box seats (for free). We ALWAYS meet the band members!

I was raised in Santa Monica, California and love the sun and sea! My husband and I, married 25 years,

moved to Colorado in 1988 after visiting family here.

Becoming a Real Estate Agent was my destiny! Prior to becoming a Colorado Licensed Real Estate

Agent in 2006, my weekend hobby was going to Open Houses and moving my family to a new

house every 5 years. I am happy to report, since getting my license we have stayed in the same

home.

I am a Certified Negotiation Expert, and have earned my GRI (Graduate Realtor® Institute). I truly

enjoy helping both home buyers and home sellers. My past experience in the fast-paced music in-

dustry world, helped shape me into the expert real estate agent that I am today because it required

flexibility and patience along with strong skills in negotiating, listening and problem solving. All

skills that are required in helping clients during a real estate transaction.

I am a music aficionado. I enjoy all genres of music from Kid Rock to Andrea Bocelli, but have a

special fondness for 80’s Classic Rock. I love concerts, especially outdoor ones. My passion for

music led me to work for A&M Records in Los Angeles, in my early twenties.

While not a big drinker, I am a Jack & Diet Coke kinda girl when the occasion calls. I love DIY

projects, but have come to the realization that they are never as easy as they first seem. I speak flu-

ent French and welcome any opportunity to use it.

I have had pets my whole life and am currently the owner of two St. Bernard’s, two Golden Retriev-

ers and a 14 year old Calico cat.

I have 2 sons, Chase and Tyler who are the loves of my life, and even though they are now in their

twenties, and Chase is married to his beautiful high school sweetheart, Jessica, they still indulge me

by going on a family vacation with us every summer.

Cameron Wright

Licensed Real Estate Broker Associate

Buyer Specialist

Born and raised in southern California, I was always into selling things. Give me a school fundraising form and I was off and

running. The joy of being the top seller was all I ever wanted and I once sold 27 boxes of world finest chocolate bars. I sold 3

boxes and won a free trip to Knott’s Berry Farm. I invited 8 of my friends to share the experience with and I enjoyed being

able to credit those who weren’t able to sell as well as myself.

I carried those values into my adult life, sales and helping others. I owned and operated JC’S Automotive Corner in

Longmont Colorado for over 20 years. It was my philosophy to remove the negative stigma of the “used car salesman”

by offering affordable cars to the everyday person. It worked to perfection, as we sold 200+ cars per year during my 20

year run as an owner.

Although I had operated a successful dealership for two decades, the time demands had taken away the freedom to pur-

sue other passions. I decided a change was necessary. I have always had an interest in real estate and helping people

(and selling stuff) and it was only natural that I became a licensed real estate broker. I now have the privilege of assisting

clients in one of the most important business decisions of their lives. It is highly fulfilling and not taken lightly.

I specialize in helping first time home buyers through the process, and being available to answer their questions prompt-

ly and effectively. I prefer to help 2-3 clients at a time, so that they can feel comfortable during the process and know

they can count on me to be there from contract to closing. If you choose to work with me and The Platinum Group, then

we will be there when you need us to.

The flexibility of being a real estate broker associate has allowed me to go back into coaching basketball at a local high

school. I truly enjoy being around the kids daily, and helping them with the ups and downs of high school sports, as well

as being a mentor for many of them that need extra role models in their lives.

I reside in Mead Colorado with my wife, and partner Isabelle. We have been married for 25 years, and are looking for-

ward to the many joys that lie ahead. We have 2 fantastic sons, who are now venturing into their own adult lives. We

welcomed a lovely daughter in law to our family in 2011. We enjoy our many friends and family in the area.

Easy Exit Guarantee

Whether you're in the market to buy or sell real estate, getting stuck in a long-term contract with a Real Estate Agent who doesn't aggressively work for you, at marketing your home or finding you a new home, can become your worst nightmare!

What most buyers and sellers don't realize is that the listing contract or buyer agency contract that you sign when deciding to work with a real estate agent does not have a release clause in it. Unless the bro-ker takes pity on you (which doesn't happen often, believe me!) you are tied to that Real Estate Agent until that contract expires. This situation can cost you not only valuable time, but MONEY as well! And isn't your bottom line what it's all about? When you list your home through our Easy Exit Listing Guarantee, you can cancel your listing with me at any time. No hassles. It's easy. We have strong opinions about real estate service. We believe that if you are unhappy with the help you receive, you should have the power to FIRE your agent. It takes a strong belief in the quality of one's service to make this kind of stand, but we never settle for less than the highest professional standards from ourselves and we are confident you will be happy with our service, help and results. That's the simple truth! We always stand by our service. The Guarantee: If you’re unhappy with the service we are providing you, we ask that you first discuss it with us because we would like the opportunity to improve. Simply tell us the problem, and give us 10 days to fix it. If you are still unhappy, simply ask for an unconditional release in writing, faxed to 303-997-1899 or emailed to [email protected]. You’ll have your release in writing, and you’ll re-ceive a copy of the MLS data sheet showing "Withdrawn" status within 48 hours of receipt of your re-quest. How many agents do you know of that are confident enough to make this kind of offer?

We know your time is valuable and I appreciate you meeting with me. Our goal at Four Sail Realty is to sell your house for the best price possible.

In 2015, we sold over 45 homes. Considering that most agents sell less than 3 homes on average per year proves that we have maintained a consistent success record over the past 11+ years.

The Platinum Group is a team of carefully selected real estate professionals working to-gether to make the home buying and home selling experience efficient and effective to help our clients accomplish their real estate goals in a comfortable, fun and relaxed envi-ronment.

Our professional team is available 7 days a week to help you with the sale of your prop-erty. Weekly market updates & progress reports, instant feedback on showing appoint-ments is only part of the professional services we provide our clients.

We value your business, your trust and we look forward to helping you sell.

Sincerely,

The Platinum Group of Four Sail Realty
