Craig Bustos

FOUNDER

Craig is a Founder and Partner of Ironstone with nearly 20 years of experience in commercial real estate spanning appraisal, brokerage, and investment.

Craig approaches every opportunity with an ownership mindset, disciplined underwriting, and a long-term perspective.  Just as important, he genuinely enjoys people and believes great business is built on authentic relationships.  He values the relationships he builds with sellers, investors, brokers, and partners and strives to treat everyone he encounters with respect and integrity.
