Amber Russell

Amber Russell is a leading real estate broker on the Monterey Peninsula and the 2026 President of the Monterey County Association of REALTORS®. She serves buyers and sellers throughout Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Marina, delivering strategic guidance, trusted representation, and exceptional results.

Founder of Over the Moon Realty

After years as a top-producing Realtor® with a luxury corporate brokerage, Amber founded Over the Moon Realty, a boutique brokerage built around customization, transparency, and elevated service. The firm is designed for clients who want personalized marketing and hands-on representation — not a one-size-fits-all corporate approach.

Real Estate Specialties & Professional Designations

Amber is a Certified Probate & Trust Specialist and holds advanced designations from the National Association of REALTORS®, including:

Military Relocation Professional (MRP)

NAR Green Designation (energy efficiency & sustainability)

She specializes in luxury properties, probate and trust sales, military relocation, and complex real estate transactions, and is one of only two professionals on the Monterey Peninsula with the Green Designation.

A Unique Background in Education, Counseling & Mediation

With over 32 years of experience in education, Amber brings a rare skill set to real estate. Her background as a teacher, counselor, and certified conflict mediator allows her to navigate negotiations, problem-solving, and life transitions with clarity and calm — consistently helping clients achieve the best possible outcome with less stress.

Community Leadership & Scholarship Impact

Amber’s commitment to community extends beyond real estate. Through her “Spread Your Wings” Scholarship Program, funded by a portion of Over the Moon Realty’s proceeds, she has helped award over $100,000 to local graduating seniors pursuing higher education out of state. Clients who work with Amber also contribute to making a lasting local impact.

Serving Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Pebble Beach & Marina

A longtime Pacific Grove home and business owner, Amber is actively involved in local schools, civic organizations, and the Chamber of Commerce. Drawing on her family’s roots in public education and the military, she approaches real estate as a service-driven profession built on trust, relationships, and results.
