My wife and I found and purchased a beautiful beach tract home in 2012. While we hoped this would be the last home, we knew we might have one more move. I began to follow the beach tract market and kept the realty advertisements we got in the mail. Through the years, one name kept popping up. That name was Amber Russell. When our neighbor across the street passed away, Amber sold the home. My wife and I then decided that Amber would be our choice to sell our home when the time came. In 2022, the time came. We met with Amber who took us through the process of selling our home so we understood what we could expect in terms of the labor of preparing the home to be sold and negotiating the offers that might come. She knew painters, and other specialists. Under her direction, we looked at nearly every aspect of the home and got (nearly everything) working. With the new paint job on the outside, she staged the home making it beautiful inside. She worked diligently and tirelessly to schedule maintenance workers, inspectors, and fellow realtors to enter the home. Amber and her staff held open house events twice a week for every week the home was on the market. She made herself available for status calls and we spoke frequently. Then the housing market began to crumble. She told us our home would sell and she would stick with us until it sold. Finally, when offers arrived, she advised us on the actions we would take. While we held our breath though the counter offers, we sold our home! My wife and I would choose Amber (and Rob) again in a heartbeat.

We worked with Amber to purchase a home with a very short escrow period (21 days) while living out of the area, which could have made it difficult but with Amber it was easy. From the beginning when we met with Amber over Zoom to the end when we closed escrow Amber is a pro's pro who made the experience seamless. Amber is very responsive, has clear communication, is professional at all times, provides good guidance, and knows the industry inside and out. The home we purchased had 6 offers and we feel that Amber's guidance on how to make our offer stand out, her knowledge, and relationships all helped us to be the offer that was selected. Amber's guidance is presented in a way where we have options to consider and think about/come to a decision on; we never felt pressured to do anything a certain way. We appreciated that level of guidance and professionalism. Even after escrow closed, Amber is available and responsive with answering questions and giving recommendations (vendors, etc.). We feel lucky that we found Amber and had the opportunity to work with her.

We highly recommend Amber!

Amber is excellent to work with. She has a great eye for detail and knows the market very well. The sale of my house was seamless from beginning to end, and I will use her for my future real estate needs.

I was located out of state when I first started looking for a home and Amber was always easy to reach with any questions along the way. Her expertise of the area is outstanding and her dedication to helping me find the perfect house was truly outstanding.

Amber Russell was the selling agent on the house we bought in Pacific Grove and we were so impressed with her. Even though she wasn't our agent, she answered all of our questions, even after the sale was completed, and helped us with what we needed to do when we moved in, etc. After our wonderful experience with her on the PG house we bought (where, remember, she was the other people's agent, not ours) we knew we wanted her to help us if we ever looked to buy another house in the Monterey area. She was so nice, super quick with responses to our questions, patient - and honest. Fast forward to a year later and we were looking to complete a 1031 exchange in WA, where we had a rental property we were selling. We were under an IRS time limit and finding it so stressful to find a replacement property in WA. We called Amber to ask for her help in finding a property for us to buy around Pacific Grove / Monterey instead of WA and after looking at a few, she was able to find a really lovely, good sized house in a great Seaside neighborhood, with a quick close that worked perfectly. She has guided us through so much regarding both purchases and given us great ideas and suggestions and referrals for people to help us with various fixes or upgrades we wanted to undertake. We would never think of using another realtor in the Monterey Area, to buy or to sell, and are so grateful that we "found" her when we bought our house in Pacific Grove, which we love!

Amber is a miracle worker. She is diligent, knowledgeable, professional as well as kind. We are so grateful for her expertise in helping us find our new home by the bay! Over the Moon is the perfect name for her company as that is how we felt when we received our new keys 😊

We now live a block from the beach!!!! Thanks Amber. Amber did a fantastic job of finding us a home and guiding us through buying in a white hot market.

My Wife and I sold our home and picked up an Air B&B for four months knowing that our only chance to buy in Pacific Grove was to be a ready cash buyer. Nervous only slightly describes the vibe of being without a home. Amber found us a home. Amber is a good broker. I'm a broker I know a good broker. A lot of emphasis is placed on the broker listening to the client, better than that is when the client can hear what the broker is saying. Amber's communication was excellent. Thanks Amber

I highly recommend Amber Russell. She has represented me as seller and buyer (and seller again). I appreciate Amber's warmth, helpfulness, and professionalism. She was always available to answer my questions and made me feel well cared for throughout the process(es). Believe it or not, Amber even makes it all feel kind of fun! I will call on Amber again next time I need a real estate agent.

We enjoyed working with Amber in our search for our retirement home. She has the local knowledge and connections that were very helpful in successfully purchasing a house in the beach tract of Pacific Grove. At the time, we were out of state and made several trips out to look at houses. From doing zoom tours, informing us of listings, helping us craft offers, providing contractor referrals, to informing us of utilities, she helped at every step. This area has been very competitive with low inventory and many buyers. The first house that we offered on had 10 offers and the second (on which we were successful) there were 12. Amber and her staff were first rate and we would highly recommend her and Over the Moon Realty.

We were referred to Amber and are so glad we were. We had very specific criteria for the house we want to live in for the rest of our lives and she was able to find us the perfect house that fit all our hopes and dreams. She helped us find the right house, create an offer that was accepted, and she is continuing to help us even after we have bought the house. We are from out of town which complicated the buying process. She went to houses and gave us video tours so we knew if it was worth paying last minute plane fares to come see the house in person. She arranged for us to see houses when we only had a narrow window of time we would be in town. And when we went to buy the house, she walked us through DocuSign so we could make an offer when we were out of state. Through the whole process, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive.
