AboutBenjamin A. Ritger

Associate Broker

A native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, Ben attained his Florida Real Estate salesman’s license in 1999 after spending the previous ten years owning and operating two successful cycling related businesses. Within a year of receiving his salesman’s license he attained his Florida Brokers license and was asked to take the role of Principal Broker for Vision Realty of Florida in Ormond Beach.

He became a broker in Virginia in 2007 and having sold Vision Realty, relocated back to Virginia Beach in 2009, where he joined Atkinson Realty in the resort area. While at Atkinson Realty he served in many positions, such as the Training and Recruiting Manager, Certified Manager of Community Associations, and Broker Associate. Ben and his family relocated to Williamsburg, VA where he opened Ritger Real Estate & Development in 2019. What keeps him engaged in business is that he enjoys the challenges of the ever changing real estate business landscape!

Ben is married and has two beautiful children. When not working he can be found at the soccer field with his children, racing sailboats, playing golf or rehearsing with his band or his churches worship team, where he serves as their drummer/percussionist.

      Benjamin A. RitgerQuestion & Answer

      What is your favorite thing about your Williamsburg?
      I love that Williamsburg feels like a true community, but you’re still close to everything—RVA, the water, golf, and weekend escapes—without losing that small-town ease.
      What initially drew you to real estate?
      I was drawn to real estate because it blends relationships, strategy, and problem-solving. Every client’s needs are different, and I enjoy guiding people through big decisions and helping them find the right fit—whether it’s a home, an estate property, or an investment.
      Why is relationship building so key to your success?
      Because real estate runs on trust, and trust is built through relationships. When clients know you’re listening, communicating clearly, and putting their interests first, they’re more confident making big decisions—and they’re more likely to refer friends and family.
      How does your background/previous experience bring a unique perspective to your work?
      Having served as an owner, principal broker, and investor advisor, I bring a strategic, big-picture perspective—balancing lifestyle goals with market realities to guide clients through high-value decisions with confidence.
      How do you help clients navigate challenging market conditions or uncertainties?
      I help clients navigate uncertainty by bringing clarity to the decision. We start with the client’s goals, then I back into a strategy using real-time market data, pricing trends, and comparable sales. From there, I set expectations early, communicate consistently, and adjust quickly as conditions change—so clients feel informed and in control, not reactive.
      What is your mission statement?
      My mission is to help clients make smart real estate decisions through honest advice, strong negotiation, and steady communication—whether they’re buying, selling, or investing.
      Tell us about any non-profit or community organizations that you support.
      Over the years I have been involved with many non-profits supporting food and housing needs/insecurities. I currently support the Broad Bay Sailing Association, Youth Sailing Virginia and Habitat for Humanity.
