about us

the sterling list was born from a shared vision between kc sterling & chris leever

Together, they recognized a common struggle: real estate agents often need a reliable network of trusted contractors, and contractors seek meaningful connections to grow their businesses.

KC’s real estate expertise in building client relationships and Chris’s extensive knowledge of the renovation industry inspired them to bridge this gap. They set out to create a resource that simplifies the process, ensuring agents, contractors, and clients can connect with confidence.

Today, The Sterling List is more than a directory —

it’s a curated community where trust, quality, and professionalism come first.

Chris brings a wealth of expertise in business and home renovations to The Sterling List. With an extensive background managing home improvement projects, Chris understands what it takes to deliver exceptional work and how critical trust is in client-contractor relationships.

Having seen firsthand how quality contractors often struggle to get noticed despite their skills, Chris wanted to create a platform where their work could shine. His business acumen and industry insight have been instrumental in designing The Sterling List as a resource that benefits contractors, agents, and clients alike.
