Amber Russell

When my mother passed away, our family was faced with selling a home we'd treasured for over 50 years — and I was living overseas. As trustee of her estate, I needed someone truly special. After meeting with several Monterey realtors, I found the larger agencies felt too corporate for what was a deeply personal process. Then I found Over the Moon. From my very first conversation, Amber was warm, understanding, and completely professional — and her abilities far exceeded even my initial high impressions. Amber's local knowledge helped us land on a price that felt logical and confident. Her network of contractors got the property market-ready, and her team made the entire process seamless despite the distance. We received significant offers in the first week and sold above asking within two. I couldn't recommend Amber and the Over the Moon team more highly. What could have been an incredibly stressful experience felt almost familial. They are simply exceptional.

Working with Amber was an incredible experience. From the start, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled correctly, and her hard work did not go unnoticed! Selling a home can be a very stressful process, but having Amber in our corner made all the difference. She made everything so much easier to navigate, and we are all so grateful for her kindness, guidance, and for being such an amazing advocate for us. She truly goes the extra mile for her clients and stayed on top of every detail to get us to the finish line. We truly couldn't have done this without her! If you want an agent who genuinely cares and is absolutely amazing, I cannot recommend Amber enough!! We would give Amber 10 stars if we could! If anyone is looking to buy or sell a home, we highly recommend Over the Moon Realty!

We are incredibly fortunate to have found Amber Russell at Over the Moon Realty. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in competent and caring hands. Amber took the time to really listen to us. This, combined with her extensive knowledge of the Pacific Grove/Monterey real estate market, made her an ideal guide during our search for our perfect home. We really appreciated Amber’s timely and informative communications. She went above and beyond, coordinating multiple showings for multiple homes that met our criteria until we found a match. Above all, Amber is a fundamentally kind and thoughtful person. You can tell that it truly makes her happy to see buyers find their new dream home. Amber quickly answered our multitude of questions no matter the day or how trivial the question. She was always considerate and patient as we navigated arranging financing and selling our original home. Amber continues to be helpful as we move into our new home and get established in Pacific Grove. We highly recommend Over the Moon Realty if you are interested in buying or selling a home in the Pacific Grove / Monterey area.

Amber conducted an assessment of our Pacific Grove home, offered suggestions like getting inspections prior to the actual listing, minor touch-up painting, etc. One of the biggest joys with hiring Amber and her very knowledgable team, was that she personally staged the entire house for free! That one aspect saved us at least $6500.00. The original reason we hired Amber is that she had sold the house next door 9 years ago, after another agent had failed. After that close of escrow, we started receiving monthly informational mailings from Amber about our specific neighborhood and the listing/sold prices, days on the market, etc. She told us that we only have "one first impression" and she wanted it to be a good one. After our first Open House, we immediately received four great offers. Our home literally sold within 48 hours, all cash with only a 15 day escrow and more than our listing amount! Amber is very, very dedicated to her clients because she is absolutely the very best Five Star agent you will find on the Monterey coast!

If you are searching for a knowledgeable Realtor in Pacific Grove or the Monterey Bay area, we highly recommend Amber Russell, broker at Over the Moon Realty. Amber was always responsive and professional, explained every step of the process, and advocated for us during negotiations. We felt supported from our first showing through closing, and Amber’s guidance and understanding of the local housing market helped to make the entire experience stress-free. We would absolutely recommend Amber Russell to anyone looking to buy a home in Pacific Grove or the Monterey Bay area.

I work for a Trust Company in the Midwest. A client of ours passed away and we needed to sell his property in the Del Monte Forest. This was a daunting task from halfway across the country - the home was full of personal property, there was a car to sell, and the property needed a lot of TLC. It was a huge blessing to find Amber! She immediately jumped into action, coordinating junk removal, pest control, cleaning, and landscape services. Amber is well-connected and respected in the community which made her efficient and effective. I honestly don't know what I would have done had I needed to vet and hire all of these vendors on my own. It would have taken me at least twice as long and likely cost twice as much. It didn't take long for the home to be show-ready, and before we knew it there were multiple offers on the table. Amber walked us through each offer and was with us every step of the way to ensure a firm deal and smooth closing. Amber truly goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Amber and Over the Moon Realty!
