What started as an ordinary summer evening in the Hamptons ended in a gut-wrenching tragedy. Reality TV personality and luxury real estate powerhouse Sara Burack, known for her roles on “Million Dollar Beach House” and “Selling the Hamptons”, has died after a hit-and-run that has left an entire community stunned and searching for answers.
She was just 40 years old.
It all happened along Montauk Highway, near the well-known Villa Paul Restaurant in Southampton, New York. According to police, Burack was struck by a vehicle on June 19. Authorities say the driver fled the scene. Paramedics rushed Burack to Stony Brook University Hospital after finding her unconscious. She had gone into cardiac arrest and was placed on life support, suffering from traumatic brain injuries, a fractured skull, and brain bleeds. Despite the emergency efforts, she tragically did not survive.
The hit-and-run driver? Still out there. And now, police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Now, if you’ve watched “Million Dollar Beach House”, you’ll remember Sara Burack as the sharply dressed, no-nonsense dealmaker navigating the high-stakes world of Hamptons real estate. But behind that glamorous, camera-ready persona was someone deeply committed to her craft—and to helping others. She wasn’t just selling homes; she was co-chairing galas, raising money for charities, and working tirelessly behind the scenes for causes she believed in.
Friends say real estate was in her blood, and it all started with her family’s commercial construction materials business. That early exposure fueled her fascination with property deals and renovations. Eventually, what started as a summer job managing rentals evolved into a full-fledged career at NestSeekers International, one of the most competitive real estate firms on the East Coast.
A friend and colleague told “Fox News Digital”, “She was just a great person… a hard worker.” She wasn’t chasing fame—she was building something. A career. A legacy. A life.
And now that life has been cut short in the most senseless way possible.
The reality TV world, the Hamptons community, and her loved ones are left grappling with a heartbreaking question: Why? Why Sara? And when will the person responsible come forward—or be brought to justice?
As tributes pour in across social media and beyond, one thing is clear: Sara Burack wasn’t just another face on a Netflix show. She was a force. A friend. A philanthropist. And now, a tragic loss. Rest in peace, Sara.
