A well-known real estate agent from the Hamptons was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident on Thursday afternoon. Sara Burack, 40, was struck by a vehicle while walking along a road in Hampton Bays. Police found her unconscious just before 3 p.m. Unfortunately, the driver who hit her fled the scene and remains unidentified.
Authorities, including Southampton Town Police and the New York State Police Accident Reconstruction Unit, are investigating the incident. So far, they have not spoken to any witnesses and do not have details about the vehicle involved. This lack of information has left the community in shock and searching for answers.
Burack was recognized for her role in the Netflix reality series “Million Dollar Beach House,” which showcased the competitive world of luxury real estate in the Hamptons. She previously worked for Nest Seekers International, a prestigious real estate agency, but had left the company over a year ago. Despite her departure, she maintained close ties with her former colleagues, who expressed their condolences and described her as a generous and hardworking individual.
Paulette Corsair, a fellow real estate agent and family friend, remembered Burack for her caring nature and dedication to helping others. Corsair emphasized that Burack’s legacy would be one of kindness and community involvement.
Burack had a background in commercial construction and real estate management before moving into high-end real estate. She often spoke about her passion for the industry and her excitement to showcase the luxurious properties in the Hamptons.
As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of a vibrant individual who touched many lives. Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward to help bring justice for Sara Burack.
