Find the perfect Monterey real estate agent

Amber is the broker/owner of Over The Moon Realty, Inc., a very successful brokerage on the Monterey Peninsula. Her background as a consistent top producer at Sotheby's International Realty, an educator for more 25 years, and her experience in negotiation, helped her successfully launch Over the Moon Realty, voted a Neighborhood Favorite four years in a row. This also makes her a smart choice for clients looking for more than the cookie cutter corporate brokerage. HomeLight ranks Amber as one of the top agents for selling homes for top dollar and as one of the top agents for helping buyers find their dream home. Our database shows that Amber consistently sells homes after receiving multiple offers, often over list price. How? Property preparation - you don't get a second chance to make a first impression." 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. "We love our community and want to be of service. That’s why a portion of Over the Moon’s proceeds are 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.” For Amber, real estate is more than a business. It’s about building relationships, making a difference, and helping people move into 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.” In fact, Over the Moon’s very first client, Rick Barnett, founder of the Masters of Light Gallery and National Archive, selected Amber’s 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.

"A decade...or more. That's how long we had been contemplating a purchase of a home in Carmel-by-t..."

Jayson Madani was merely a middle schooler at a job fair when an attending real estate agent told him unequivocally that, everyone should own a home. As the founder and leader of the Madani Team, Jayson's dedication to that realization is the foundation of his team of leading agents, the backbone of his business is undoubtedly client referrals. Specializing in the Santa Cruz region, Jayson firmly believes that a referral is the best gauge of his effectiveness, and as a business operating on a seventy percent referral basis, that effectiveness is solidly proven. Cutting-edge, aggressive, and creative marketing has played a large role in Jayson's success story. From those hard-to-sell listings to those hard-to-find buys, Jayson's expertise goes far beyond the cut and dry of tract home sales. When it matters that your agent understands the ins and outs of building permits, flood zones, and well water quality, Jayson has the expertise to guide clients through the complexities of any property purchase or listing with exceptional, client-centered focus. Jayson prides himself on his consistent effort to turn transactions into relationships, which means that when the unexpected, post-close question arises, he's as happy to help as he was on day one. It means that he's not only ready to aid you in acquiring the property that puts you in your dream neighborhood, but he's equally ready to line you up with the quality contractors that can transform your hopes into a real home. It's his available and committed outlook that results in returned clients and consistent referrals. With Jayson, escrow isn't the end of the relationship. Raised in the region where he's now raising his own family, Jayson is a third generation member of the Santa Cruz community. Jayson is committed to giving back to his community, which he does through donations and fundraising for multiple local charitable organizations, with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Second Harvest Food Bank being two of the beneficiaries of his philanthropy. When he's not working, Jayson enjoys spending time with his wife and children. Looking to the future, Jayson's plans are simple: to continue building his team and growing his business, while sacrificing none of the stellar client service that has become synonymous with his name. HomeLight has information on 275 of Jayson's transactions since 2009, 90 of which were in the past two years. Jayson typically represents the buyer (53% of the time), but has also completed 129 seller transactions during this period.
