Stone began his real estate career at 25, tackling various sectors and gaining comprehensive industry experience. His resilience during the mid-1980s savings and loan crisis, where he transformed a struggling title operation into a profitable venture by initiating a contract servicing department, set the stage for future successes. After impactful roles, including at Fidelity National Financial, Stone recognized the need for a collaborative approach during the 2008 financial crisis, leading him to establish WFG in 2010, aimed at promoting client-centric innovation and partnership among industry players.
Stone emphasizes that everyone in the real estate transaction must work together, stating, "We’re all part of the same transaction... title companies have to start thinking of themselves as partners in the client’s process."
Reflecting on his career, Stone said, "That was probably the smartest move I ever made," about his decision to innovate during the savings and loan crisis.
