About Amber Russell

There's a reason why Amber has been voted a NextDoor Neighborhood Favorite three years running - her approach is simple - get the best possible deal for her clients through honesty and integrity. After several years as one of the top Realtors® on the Monterey Peninsula with Sotheby's International Realty, Inc., Amber launched her own very successful real estate brokerage, Over the Moon Realty, Inc. "My husband, Robert, recently retired from the Navy after 20 years of service and now teaches high school locally. We love our community and want to be of service. That's why a portion of Over the Moon's proceeds will be donated to local high schools where I've established a scholarship geared toward graduating seniors who will be attending colleges/universities out of state. I call it Spread Your Wings." Over the Moon, not only expresses how she feels about being a real estate broker, but also how her clients feel. "Over a short period of time, I had several clients say to me, 'I'm over the moon,' as an expression of happiness," she says. "I thought of that immediately (when deciding on a name). Every real estate experience should be like that. Everyone should be over the moon!" In fact, Over the Moon's very first client, Rick Barnett, founder of the Masters of Light Gallery and National Archive, selected Amber's new brokerage to sell his historical building, a city landmark, the Harry Ashland Greene Mansion at 361 Lighthouse Ave. in Monterey. "Amber Russell is my real estate professional. When it came time to represent the sale of one of Monterey's most important properties, I wanted to trust in only the best. And Amber is the best," said Barnett. Amber has earned designations from the National Association of Realtors® as a Military Relocation Professional (MRP), a Realtor® who specializes in working with current and former military service members, and NAR's Green Designation specializing in energy efficiency and sustainability in real estate, the only Realtor® at the time on the Monterey Peninsula with that designation. Amber has a deep appreciation for military families and the surrounding communities who support them. When her husband was stationed overseas for a year, she attributes her friends, clients, and neighbors for helping her make it through the year and is forever grateful for the warm homecoming her husband received in the community. For Amber, real estate is more than a business. It's about building relationships, making a difference, and helping people move on to another stage in their lives. "I think real estate is seen as a transaction, something you have to go through," she says. "I think it should be an enjoyable experience for everybody. It's about bringing people together to achieve their goal." Originally from Southern California, Amber has spent time teaching journalism and English, as a high school and community college counselor, and is a certified conflict mediator. She's also a published author, collaborates with a producer for her own real estate videos and commercials, and was featured on HGTV's hit show "Tiny House Hunters." Amber believes that all her experiences and expertise in education, 28 years worth, gives her a distinct advantage in the real estate industry. "I think what makes me unique is my unique background as an educator, counselor and mediator," she says. "Having that background, helping people through the constant negotiations involved when buying or selling a home comes naturally to me which frees me up to be creative, think outside the box, and negotiate the best possible position for my clients."

It is with the greatest enthusiasm that we recommend Amber Russell with Over The Moon Realty to anyone seeking an exceptional real estate professional. We have now had the privilege of working with her twice, and on both occasions, she has not only exceeded every possible expectation but has also given us the rare gift of making what could have been a daunting process into a joyful, seamless experience. Our most recent home purchase is a dream opportunity we never imagined possible, and it is entirely thanks to her. Ambers thought of us when she learned of an off-market property that perfectly aligned with our long-held wishes. Because she is so well connected, so attentive, and so thoughtful in remembering our vision, she brought it to us unsolicited. Quite simply, we would never have found this home without her. From the very beginning, Amber anticipated every need and guided us with extraordinary care. She connected us with trusted resources for insurance quotations, loan brokers, inspections, title, home repairs, and even furnishings, ensuring that each step was not only handled but handled with excellence. Her deep knowledge of local zoning, permitting, town processes, and historical constraints proved invaluable. At every turn, she researched, advocated, coached, counseled, guided, and reassured us. We always felt in the best possible hands. What sets her apart, however, is the way she goes far beyond the role of a realtor. She orchestrated details well outside of any typical scope to ensure our move-in was smooth and successfulaEUR"even involving her family members in lending a helping hand. It was not the work of a realtor alone, but of a longstanding friend, someone deeply invested in our happiness and well-being. It is rare to encounter a professional of such caliber, someone who combines unmatched expertise with genuine care. We fully recognize that our dream home opportunity never would have been possible without the remarkable relationship we built with her years ago during our first purchase. The continuity of her dedication and friendship has been nothing short of extraordinary. For all these reasons, we recommend Amber Russel with the highest level of confidence and admiration. She is, without question, a standout in her field, and anyone fortunate enough to work with her will experience the same unwavering excellence that we did.

Robin was instrumental in closing a difficult two property deal for us that included two different lenders and all sorts of complicated paperwork. She made our dreams come true and we know she can make your dreams come true too!

Monica provided outstanding assistance and expertise with our Pacific Grove house purchase. She took care to learn about our must-haves and our nice-to-haves, using that judgment to send us a steady stream of high-quality and relevant listings. Monica's communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout. When we found the right specific place, Monica was extremely helpful with evaluating the opportunity and in making and landing our offer. Her local knowledge has been essential, including connecting us to several specific tradespeople and local service providers with established, trusted track records. We would not hesitate to work with Monica again, and would happily recommend her to others.

Amber was extremely helpful throughout the process of selling our home on the Beach Tract in Pacific Grove, CA. We live in another state, and she handled everything and kept us up to date on the progress. She made it so easy! She is honest, thorough and very responsive!
