Max Fitzgerald

Max Fitzgerald is the Broker, CEO and Co-Founder of Craft & Bauer. Prior to co-founding the company, Max was a real estate agent and had exposure to almost every facet of the real estate industry. From working with retail buyers and sellers, to representing commercial REITs and asset managers on large-scale acquisitions, Max’s residential and commercial experience has given him a unique perspective and understanding of the inner workings of the real estate market - especially in Los Angeles.

Max is a Los Angeles native, and has lived in the LA area his entire life. Shortly after graduating from the University of Southern California, Max quickly started his real estate career and has never looked back. Max’s philosophy is to be a teacher and a helpful resource for his entire office. “A Craft & Bauer agent is considered well-rounded, empathetic, and sharp. The better our agents can understand and contextualize the real estate market as a whole, the better the working relationship will be with their clients. Advise, listen, and learn.”

Max obtained his broker’s license in 2019, the same year he co-founded Craft & Bauer. Max eagerly took the opportunity to help build an independent and self-sufficient brokerage with his co-founder, Dominic Labriola, moving away from the corporate franchise model. Max leads the company today as CEO where it continues to thrive. Max is passionate about raising the bar as a tech-forward, independent real estate brokerage.

Max currently resides in Redondo Beach with his wife and surfboard.
