Awesome Experience With Amber. One word for Amber and that is Awesome! We had the pleasure of working with Amber Russell as our real estate broker to find us our dream vacation home in Pacific Grove, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Amber's market analysis was a game-changer. She meticulously gathered data on comparable properties, recent sales, and neighborhood statistics. This information was crucial in helping us make informed decisions. Her attention to detail and thorough research was impressive, and it became clear that Amber was committed to ensuring we received the best possible deal. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Amber was the personalized property tours she arranged. She took the time to schedule viewings at our convenience and accompanied us to each property. During these tours, Amber's keen eye for detail and knowledge of construction and design were invaluable. She pointed out both the strengths and potential drawbacks of each property, ensuring we had a well-rounded understanding of our options. Throughout the negotiation process, Amber maintained transparent and open lines of communication. She provided regular updates and was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns. This level of communication fostered trust and confidence, making the entire experience stress-free. Her attention to detail and proactive approach prevented any last-minute surprises, and the entire process was seamless. Even after the deal closed, Amber continued to offer her support. She provided us with valuable resources for home repairs and maintenance, and her commitment to our satisfaction did not end with the transaction. This level of dedication is a testament to Amber's commitment to building lasting relationships with her clients.

Amber Russell did a fantastic job as my realtor! She is very thorough and knowledgeable regarding all the proper procedures and forms. Amber staged my home very nicely and she and her husband helped me finish preparing my home. Amber always offered to help me and answer questions. Amber arranged for inspections and a gardener and a house cleaner and estimates for work. I highly recommend Amber to anyone buying or selling a home. She even got me two offers above my asking price and escrow closed in less than a month!

Amber handled a successful sale of our home in the Beach Tract of Pacific Grove. We were referred to Amber by a neighborhood friend, and we could not be happier with the way she handled the sale of our home. She took care of all of the pre-listing inspections and home staging, held open houses, and we received an all-cash, non-contingency full-price offer with a thirteen day close of escrow that we accepted. Amber also handled all of our post-closing projects for us. We recommend her highly.

It was over two years ago that we walked into Over The Moon Reality and met with Amber. We had just relocated from the Midwest and were led to Amber after reading a glowing recommendation on Nextdoor. We looked at dozens of houses before we purchased our home. Throughout that time, Amber stuck with us and was always accessible when we needed her involvement or guidance. Amber and her team at Over The Moon, including Rob, have followed through every step of the way and have continued to help us with the transition, post closing. We would highly recommend OTM!

This is our second time working with Amber at Over the Moon which should tell you something about the level of attention and service she provides. We purchased a home with her in Pacific Grove, CA, back in 2018, where she provided outstanding insights into the local market, what to offer, etc. Fast forward to 2024, when we were ready to sell (and at the same time buy in another state). We of course turned to Amber to handle the listing. She had her work cut out for her because our home in Pacific Grove was actively rented, and we had a property out of state that we loved that we wanted to buy with the strongest contingency we could, which meant trying to have an offer in-hand for the CA home. There was a tiny window where we had no renter for 1 week. She dropped everything, and put together a quickfire open house that was well-attended, and got a super strong offer! But it doesnt end there.. Unfortunately, through no fault of her own, that offer fell through (and so did the house we had targeted to buy out of state..) So the ~1 month of craziness ensued where we found another house out of state, and Amber worked miracles to get our CA house presented even more beautifully, tending to things like refreshing the flowers and landscape, deep clean, working with the rental management company and between renters.. She held several open houses in as many days, keeping us informed but not overly so (so that we would not stress), and all the while we were working the aEURoebuyaEUR? side, and found ourselves more than once dipping into her insights even for our out of state new purchase just as much as for the sale of the CA property she was responsible for. Even the agents from aEURoebuyaEUR? property stated words of admiration and appreciation for Ambers insights and wisdom. In the end she made the sale a success, and it occurred days before the aEURoebuyaEUR?, enabling a less complex and less costly (and way less stressful) traditional 1031 exchange (as opposed to a aEURoereverseaEUR? exchange which would have been necessary if the sale were not before the buy). To be honest, we never imagined she could make a sale happen so quickly (and believe me it took heroics & very much heavy lifting to do it, and she absolutely put in aEURoethe workaEUR?), and we are so thankful she did. And her insights absolutely contributed to our successful aEURoebuyaEUR? as well. She has a natural knack and instinct for the real estate world, coupled with a style of interacting that is both kind and diplomatic while also being direct. I am firmly convinced that no other person could have pulled off the rapid and strong transaction that made our sell & buy happen than Amber, and I would reach out to her in a heartbeat for any future real estate insights even if they are out of state, and I am positive she would pick up the phone, because that is the kind of agent and person she is!
