Burack had previously been associated with Nest Seekers International, a high-end property firm operating in both Manhattan and the Hamptons. Her tenure at the company saw her featured in the Netflix series, which chronicled the exploits of a team of ambitious young brokers vying for multimillion-pound listings in the competitive Hamptons market.
Netflix describes the show, saying: “The competition is fierce – and the drama undeniable – as a group of young and hungry agents try to seal the deal on luxury listings in the Hamptons.”
Despite parting ways with Nest Seekers over a year back, Burack maintained ties with her ex-colleagues. Geoff Gifkins, regional manager for the Hamptons at the firm, remarked: “Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends,” and implored, “Please be kind and respectful as this is a tremendous loss to her parents and close friends.”
