Blake Russell is a top-producing Monterey Peninsula real estate agent specializing in luxury properties throughout Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley, and Pacific Grove. A former Olympic marathoner who competed at the 2008 Beijing Games, Blake brings the same discipline, preparation, and relentless focus that defined her athletic career to every real estate transaction — treating each listing and every client negotiation with the precision of a competitor who understands that the details decide the outcome.
Since relocating to the Peninsula in 2003, Blake has built her practice around deep, hyper-local market knowledge: the coastal cottages of Pacific Grove, the golf-course estates of Pebble Beach, the vineyard and ranch properties of Carmel Valley, and the storybook character of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Recognized among RealTrends' Top 1.5% of agents nationwide and a Top Producer for Sotheby's International Realty, Blake pairs global brand reach with the kind of personal, on-the-ground insight that only comes from actually living here.
Whether you're buying your first Monterey Peninsula home, selling a longtime family property, or relocating to the Central Coast, Blake Russell offers strategic, data-driven representation — and the same quiet determination that took her to the Olympic starting line.
