A man named Skipper
Springston Real Estate is the oldest real estate company in West Virginia. In the later part of the 1940s, A.L.

In the late 1950s, Skipper purchased a house at the corner of Walnut Avenue and 3rd Street in Fairmont and move his real estate office into it. During this period, Ben Springston began selling real estate with his father.
In 1980, Bill Yoho was hired as an agent. At that time, Ben was already am an associate broker and managing the company.
In February 1986, Skipper retired, and Ben, Bill, and another agent, Terry Brake, became equal one-third owners of Springston & Company, Inc. Ben became the "broker of the record" and by this time both Bill and Terry were associate brokers.
