Helped me buy home • Pacific Grove, CA • 2026

Amber was fantastic! Her competency was so helpful. She’s honest and a great client advocate. Her “people” were great too from inspection to finance to city services. She knows PG and the Monterey area so well, and we really benefitted from her knowledge. Don’t hesitate! She’s the one!

Helped me buy home • Pacific Grove, CA • 2026

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!

Helped me buy and sell homes • Pacific Grove, CA • 2026

We are incredibly fortunate to have found Amber Russell at Over the Moon Realty. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in competent and caring hands. Amber took the time to really listen to us. This, combined with her extensive knowledge of the Pacific Grove/Monterey real estate market, made her an ideal guide during our search for our perfect home. We really appreciated Amber’s timely and informative communications. She went above and beyond, coordinating multiple showings for multiple homes that met our criteria until we found a match. Above all, Amber is a fundamentally kind and thoughtful person. You can tell that it truly makes her happy to see buyers find their new dream home. Amber quickly answered our multitude of questions no matter the day or how trivial the question. She was always considerate and patient as we navigated arranging financing and selling our original home. Amber continues to be helpful as we move into our new home and get established in Pacific Grove. We highly recommend Over the Moon Realty if you are interested in buying or selling a home in the Pacific Grove / Monterey area.

Listed and sold a home • Pacific Grove, CA • 2026

Nine years ago, Amber Russell from Over the Moon Realty in Pacific Grove sold the house next door. Those owners praised her services by taking out a 1/2 page ad in our Carmel Pine Cone. When it was time to sell our home, Amber was our first and only choice. We had been receiving her monthly mailers keeping us abreast of the listings available in our specific neighborhood. She staged our home at no extra cost, oversaw minor changes that suggested a faster sale, etc. We reeived four offers (3 - all cash) within 48 hours of the first open house. She and her staff are very professional and kept us informed along the way. You won't be disappointed choosing Amber Russell from Over the Moon Realty in Pacific Grove.

Listed and sold a home • 2025

Is there anything Amber can't do? I'm so incredibly thankful to have found Amber to assist with selling a home from halfway across the country. The homeowner had passed away and my team was responsible for liquidating the personal property and selling the home. The trouble was that I'm in the Midwest and the property was in CA, so I needed boots on the ground to secure the home, sell/dispose of the personal property and car, clean and sanitize the interior, address the overgrown yard, and more. And that's all BEFORE she even listed the property for sale! When the home finally hit the market, there were multiple qualified offers and she helped us to weigh each offer. Ultimately the home sold faster and for more money than we expected. The closing was smooth.Amber knows her stuff and she truly went above and beyond for us. She's a pleasure to work with - always responsive, professional, and kind. She has a wide network of trusted professionals. What started as a very daunting task turned out to be a wonderful experience because we found the right person for the job. I'd give Amber and Over the Moon Realty 10 stars if I could!

Helped me buy home • Pacific Grove, CA • 2025

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. Amber’s 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 successful—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.

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!
