Christine Basso Fitzgerald

“I have always had an innate curiosity for the details of Washington DC as a well-designed city, particularly the history of real estate design and development. That curiosity still energizes my work in representing my clients. I put myself in their life situation and work for their objectives. This philosophy gives me a deep sense of pride in trying to be of maximum service to my buyers and sellers; clients who often become enduring friends”. -Christine About Christine Basso Fitzgerald Realtor representation is about so much more than showing homes and writing contracts. It is a process that involves so many questions. “Can I remove this wall? If I sell my house now, how fast will I have to move out? How can I get my place ready without ruining my marriage?” For two decades, I have invested myself in finding solutions and answers (good ones, specifically) to these questions. I ensure that every step of the transaction is organized, transparent and that we are utilizing vetted lenders and vendors to accomplish our goals smoothly. I consider my own home my best investment and took every step to ensure that it fit my lifestyle needs and that the property would be a good investment over time; I do the exact same for my buyers and sellers with painstaking attention to detail and prompt response. On a personal note - because that’s what real estate is all about - I live in Georgetown, with my family; John (old), Madeleine (18), Oliver (3) and Brando (16 - the Shi Tzu with nine lives). I am an involved daughter, a grateful mother, and a patient wife (John would agree, most of the time). I have 25-year friendships with classmates from Georgetown Visitation. I thrive underwater (lifetime long distance swimmer). I enjoy oil painting and obsessively look at interior design photos. I am an avid reader, 37 adult books for 2020 (337 child books - some three times in a row!). I detest clutter and am often donating things my family members do not approve of. I want to succeed at helping the people around me; this drive becomes a great asset to my clients. I am optimistic (except when I am pessimistic), I have a strong work ethic from my father and an intuitive sense about other’s feelings. I have strong confidence in my ability to help my clients and that confidence will be evident when you meet me.
