Amber Russell was an outstanding representative for us.

We met Amber Russell last year while searching for a property that would meet both our personal and financial needs, and from our very first meeting, we knew we were in excellent hands. Amber is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and organized, but what impressed us just as much was how personable and genuinely interested she was in helping us find the right property—not simply making a sale. Amber took the time to understand what we were looking for, including our priorities, our financial considerations, and the kind of property that would truly fit our lifestyle. She then helped us search the entire market, patiently showing us a wide range of possibilities and offering thoughtful guidance throughout the process. She never made us feel pressured or rushed, and we always felt that our best interests were her priority. What stood out most was Amber’s combination of professionalism and personal attention. She was responsive, accessible, and remarkably patient as we explored different properties and weighed our options. She listened carefully, asked the right questions, and provided honest, practical advice whenever we needed it. Her knowledge of the market was invaluable, but it was her commitment to us as clients that made the experience particularly enjoyable. Buying a property can be complicated and, at times, stressful, but Amber made the process feel manageable and, surprisingly, even fun. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us make the right decision. We would highly recommend Amber Russell to anyone looking for a real estate professional who brings together experience, integrity, market knowledge, and a wonderful personal touch. We are very grateful for everything she did for us and would gladly work with her again.

It's a No Brainer

We spent our careers as a Realtor team in the San Diego area, and made the decision to relocate to Pacific Grove for retirement. Our list of criteria for a Realtor to represent us included a proven track record, spot on knowledge of the market, great negotiation and communication skills, knowing the importance of follow-up and staying on top of the transaction from beginning to end. We did our research identifying which Realtor was dominating the market, searching a few years back the active, pending and sold listings. Amber Russell, Over the Moon Realty, was the stand out either as the listing agent, buyers agent and many times representing both sides of the transactions! That spoke volumes to us having worked over 25 years with Realtors of all levels of productivity and success. Amber is the epitome of a professional, successful Realtor. She alerted us to a brand new listing the day we arrived, advised in writing an attractive offer that led to an acceptance! We were thrilled!! If you are in the market as a seller or buyer, absolutely no need to look any further than Amber Russell, Over the Moon Realty!

Amber is very professional, kind, and responsive.

We reached out to Amber about a challenging house decision that we needed to make because of my wife's recent diagnosis of early-onset Parkinson's, and because of Amber's excellent online reviews. Amber and her team did a great job working through our challenges and she helped us partner with an excellent loan company that did a great job as well. Thank you Amber, and we highly recommend Amber and her company, Over the Moon Realty. Jay and Michelle

Outstanding

An outstanding experience, absolute pleasure it was working with Amber. She managed every detail with meticulous care, expertly navigating the complexities of selling my home in Salinas and purchasing our new home in Aptos. Amber guided us through the entire process with ease and grace, and her extensive knowledge made a significant difference. I truly appreciated her swift execution and prompt responses to all our inquiries. She represented us brilliantly in both the sale of our home and our purchase in Aptos, and I felt complete confidence in her expertise throughout this journey. Thank you, Amber, for making this experience so seamless!

Competent, kind— an excellent client advocate

Amber is, above all, incredibly competent and conscientious- the most important facets of being a realtor. But she isn’t just good at what she does, she is a complete package of engaging, disarming, cheerful, kind, and just generally a trustworthy and honest person. She navigated us through a nearly painless process in buying a property in the charming little town of Pacific Grove. We’ve dreamed of living here for years from the first time we set eyes on Lovers’s Point. She showed up for us again and again and honestly I was a little sad when we were done with the process. But not to worry, she is a fellow Pacific Grover as we are now (part time until we can fully retire there), and I hope to run into her in the Hallmark Movie downtown where her cute little office is located. Thank you, Amber, sincerely. To anyone wondering about Over the Moon? Don’t hesitate. She’s fabulous.

Great buyer's agent!

I would 100% recommend Amber as a buyer's agent! She knows all the right people in Pacific Grove to make both the offer and post-offer processes go smoothly - for us that included working with the listing agent, a property manager, city permits, insurance, and finance. No matter what the issue was, I could ask Amber to help take care of it and I just never had to worry that things were going to work out even though we live a couple hours away. And plus, she is just a really nice person. Recommended!
