Christopher D. Ritzert is a Senior Vice President and Associate Broker with TTR Sotheby's International Realty. He and his business partner, Christie-Anne Weiss, form Ritzert Weiss Partners, which has been named the Top Producing Team company-wide each year since 2012. Christopher began his real estate career in 1985 and is licensed in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. A native Washingtonian, he is known for his discretion, commitment to clients, and outstanding relationships within the real estate community. Christopher has consulted on numerous new home and condominium projects, and in 2001, Millennium Partners of New York recruited him to join the sales team for its two Residences at the Ritz-Carlton projects in the District. He subsequently became Millennium’s principal broker. He and Christie have handled some of the most expensive residential transactions in Washington, DC, including the highest price per square foot for condominiums.
Prior to real estate, Christopher worked in international consulting and development in several Francophone countries in North and West Africa where he developed resiliency, flexibility, and a keen sense of adventure. Extensive travel honed his appreciation for the importance of “home,” which, along with a lifelong interest in architecture, ultimately helped inform his choice of a career in residential real estate. Christopher graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina and studied at the Université d'Aix-Marseille in France. He enjoys occasional travel as well as gardening, the National Gallery of Art, the many cultural opportunities in and around the nation’s capital, many types of music, and spirited drives through the countryside.
