After being recruited by a local school district, Amber Russell came to the Monterey Peninsula with her teenage daughter & dreams of building a new life. Now, many years later, she's married with three stepsons, three dogs, a forever home in Pacific Grove, several awards & certifications, appearances on television & her own real estate brokerage (and now grandchildren!).
After several years as one of the top Realtors on the Monterey Peninsula with Sothebys International Realty, Inc., Russell created her own brokerage, Over the Moon Realty, Inc. She has earned designations from the National Association of Realtors as a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) & NAR's Green Designation specializing in energy efficiency & sustainability in real estate. Amber Russell comes from a military family & always wants to be of service. Thats why a portion of Over the Moon's proceeds are donated to local high schools for scholarships geared toward graduating seniors who will be attending colleges/universities out of state. She calls it Spread Your Wings.
Rick Barnett, founder of the Masters of Light Gallery, selected Russells brokerage to sell his historical building, the Harry A. Greene Mansion in Monterey. He said, Amber Russell is my real estate professional. When it came time to represent the sale of one of Monterey's most important properties, I did not want to trust in anyone but the best. (BTW, the property went into escrow in two days with multiple offers over list price.)
Born in San Diego (her dad was a U.S. Marine at Camp Pendleton), she grew up in nearby Carlsbad, earned a BA at Cal State Long Beach & two MAs in Education & Counseling from Pepperdine. Russell spent time teaching journalism & English, counseling at the high school & community college levels, & is a certified conflict mediator. She's also a published author & was featured on HGTV's hit show Tiny House Hunters. Year after year Amber has been voted a Neighborhood Favorite on the NextDoor App.
