A for Amber; A+ for Representation!

If you are looking for a realtor on the Monterey Peninsula, hire Amber Russell. There’s no question about it. Simply put, she’s amazing! We had been flirting with the idea of purchasing a home in Pacific Grove for years. We wanted a second home that could, in time, become our forever home. We did a LOT of research on local area realtors. We narrowed our list and interviewed a few candidates. Everything we read about Amber was confirmed in the interview, and my wife and I both immediately had a strong comfort level with her. Amber was extremely professional. Her attention to detail was first rate, giving us supreme confidence that the most important transaction of our lives would be handled professionally. Amber was patient and never pressured us. It was comfortingly clear to us that Amber wanted us to find the right home for us, not just a home. Amber is also extremely well-regarded by other realtors. The respect she commands from her incomparable track records and involvement in the community is an asset that enhances in no small way her representation of her clients. I firmly believe that her gift for writing clean offers and being straightforward gives her clients’ offers a leg-up on competing offers. Once she helped us get our dream home, she didn’t stop being of service. She has remained available to answer questions, give advice and has even offered to help us with some post-sale details before we move in. I couldn’t be happier with her representation of us and recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of a realtor on the Peninsula.

Amber Russell is an exceptional realtor!!

We knew we wanted to purchase a family vacation home in Pacific Grove, but were quite intimidated by how competitive the housing market is there. Living out of state and not being as familiar with the nuances of the area, it was clear that we needed the very best realtor we could find to help guide us through the buying process. I knew immediately after meeting with Amber that we had found our realtor. She exudes warmth, kindness, graciousness and confidence. Amber is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire region which was essential to us finding the home that would best suit our family’s unique needs. We weren’t in a hurry to buy and instead wanted to ensure that we waited for the right fit. Amber never rushed us or put pressure on us to move quicker than we wanted to. That said, once we found the home we loved, she was organized and decisive in guiding us through making an offer. With Amber leading us we always felt like every detail would be attended to and followed up on. She is an invaluable resource for referrals which has been essential to us coming from out of state. We are so grateful to have had Amber working with us throughout our home buying process and wholeheartedly recommend her!
