"RealStone is a company who has seen its fair share of hurdles over the years, and of all the words that could be used to describe this business, failure is not one of them,” said Mike McManimon, the company’s president. Since its founding in 2002, the original owner, Steve Crandall, has passed away, as well as John Zacher, who was with Unlimited Peak, the investment/management group who partnered with RealStone after Crandall’s death. But despite these tragedies, the company has managed to persevere and is optimistic about its future.
“After Steve’s passing, those in charge made a decision to team up with an investment/management group to help stabilize things and move forward during the unexpected transition,” explained McManimon. This move proved to be worth it, as the company continued experiencing growth and stability until things took another drastic and unexpected turn.
