Michael Fitzgerald is a nationally recognized real estate investor, developer, and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience navigating the ups and downs of the real estate market. Launching his career during the 2004 recession, Michael turned a negative net worth of $650,000 into over $5 million in just three years. Today, he manages a real estate portfolio worth over $70 million, including more than 770 rental units across residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. His track record includes approximately 3,000 transactions and a reputation for strategic growth, reliability, and financial discipline—backed by the successful repayment of over $250 million to banks and private lenders.
Michael’s impact goes beyond numbers. Many of his projects are rooted in community revitalization, from historical restorations to large-scale apartment complexes that breathe new life into underserved areas. His work has earned him accolades such as a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition, a Governor’s Citation from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, and recognition from U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen. Beyond real estate, he plays an active role in civic leadership, serving on advisory boards and contributing to the local economy through both his business ventures and community efforts. His story of resilience, vision, and success has been featured in media outlets such as The Herald-Mail, Hagerstown Magazine, and Maryland.gov.
