Chris and Calvin LaMont have been an inseparable team since the beginning, attending school and playing on the same sports teams together all the way through college. And when it came time to chart their career paths, there was no question in their minds that they'd travel the same one together. "We always wanted to get into real estate," Calvin shared with The List. "Growing up, it was athletics and real estate. Those were the two dreams that Chris and I aspired to."

Chris added, "That's something that we were interested in, because during that time, people were flipping homes, and we were like, 'Okay, you make good money.' But at that same time, in 2007, 2008 — it's when the market was going a different way, so we had to make a pivot." Knowing they needed to make money to break into real estate, they started a cleaning company. Chris explained, "Me and Calvin feel that if we got into a job or a career, we might get stuck in there and never get out. We wanted to be entrepreneurs from the beginning, so we stayed focused on that."
