A lifelong New Yorker with deep roots in both the Hamptons and Manhattan, Abby Russell brings a strategic, design-savvy, and deeply personal approach to luxury real estate. Raised in a mid-century modern home featured in Life Magazine and Hamptons Cottages & Gardens, Abby now lives with her daughter in that very house—giving her a multigenerational perspective on life and property on the East End.
Abby is known for her ability to listen, ask the right questions, and deliver results. A member of the Long Island Board of Realtors, she combines market insight, integrity, and discretion with a genuine passion to help her clients achieve their dreams — whether they're buying, selling, or investing.
Before real estate, Abby led a busy career in media and entertainment as an Emmy-nominated and James Beard Award-winning TV and film producer, living in both New York and Los Angeles. She directed a feature film starring and executive produced by Chris Rock, and helmed programs for networks including the Food Network, Discovery, and Sundance. As founder of a media and marketing company, she worked with many celebrities, public figures and Fortune 500 corporations on brand storytelling. Earlier in her career, Abby worked in national politics as a Press Liaison and Advance Aide in both the U.S. Congress and The White House. She holds a bachelor's degree in political science and history from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.
With her background in media and communications, Abby brings sharp negotiation skills and creative vision to every listing—strategically marketing properties through the global reach of Sotheby's International Realty. An active member of the community, Abby serves on various local nonprofit boards, and founded the Hamptons Comedy Film Festival and Sticks and Stones Comedy Club in Southampton. When she's not with clients or volunteering, you'll find her on the tennis court, at a farmer's market, or sharing a laugh with her daughter.
