Netflix Star Sara Burack Dies in Hamptons Hit-and-Run

Sara Burack, a prominent real estate agent and star of Netflix’s “Million Dollar Beach House,” died at age 40 after a tragic hit-and-run in Hampton Bays, New York. The incident occurred early Thursday morning when Southampton Town Police responded to a 911 call reporting a woman lying on Montauk Highway.

Officers found Burack unconscious with severe injuries, believed to have been caused by a vehicle that fled the scene. She was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

 Authorities launched an immediate manhunt for the driver involved. By Friday, Amanda Kempton, a 32-year-old woman from Virginia, was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, a class D felony punishable by up to four years in prison. Details about the vehicle remain undisclosed as the investigation continues.

 Burack was widely recognized for her role on “Million Dollar Beach House,” a Netflix reality series that aired for one season in 2020 and showcased real estate agents competing to sell luxury properties in the Hamptons. 

Before her television appearance, Burack built a successful career with Nest Seekers International, specializing in high-end real estate in Manhattan and the Hamptons. She had worked with the firm for over a decade before departing more than a year ago.

 In interviews, Burack described her path to real estate as a natural progression, inspired by years spent managing summer properties and her family’s commercial construction business. She expressed a deep passion for the Hamptons, where she spent part of each year for more than a decade, turning her love for the area into a flourishing career.

 The real estate community and fans of the show are mourning the loss of Burack, remembered for her expertise, drive, and vibrant presence both on and off screen. As the investigation continues, colleagues and viewers alike reflect on her significant contributions to luxury real estate and the indelible mark she left on the industry.
