A prominent real estate agent who specialized in high-end properties and was featured on the popular Netflix show “Million Dollar Beach House” was killed by a hit-and-run driver in the Hamptons on Thursday afternoon, according to police and reports.

Southampton Town Police Detectives and a New York State Police Accident Reconstruction Unit investigated the scene, according to Dan’s Papers.

Police have not spoken to witnesses nor do they have any information detailing what type of vehicle that hit Burack and left her to die in the street, according to Dan’s papers.

Burack appeared in a Netflix reality show pitting hotshot real estate agents against each other.

“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,” according to the show’s description on Netflix’s website. 

Burack used to work as a real estate agent for Nest Seekers International, a real estate agency for upscale properties in Manhattan and the Hamptons, according to Newsday. 

She left the agency more than a year ago but stayed in touch, Geoff Gifkins, the Hamptons regional manager for Nest Seekers, told Newsday.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends,” Gifkins said in a message. “Please be kind and respectful as this is a tremendous loss to her parents and close friends.”

Paulette Corsair, a real estate agent and close family friend, told Newsday that Burack will be remembered for her generous spirit and for fundraising in New York City.

“I want people to remember she was an amazing person who really cared for people,” Corsair told Newsday. “She was a hardworking real estate agent who was there for others. She was loved greatly by her friends and a close family.”

Burack told an interviewer that her family ran a commercial construction and material sales business that she spent years working for before moving into the elite luxury real estate market. 

“I have always been intrigued by real estate projects and decided to become a broker after my experience as a summer property manager in the summer house I would rent,” she told Hamptons.com.

Before the show’s release, Burack described “Million Dollar Beach House” as a peek into the lavish life of the rich-and-aspiring famous in the seaside redoubt. 

“Viewers will be taken into the world of the Hamptons where they will see not only beautiful multimillion-dollar beach homes and estates, but will be shown summer in the Hamptons,” she told Hamptons.com. ”With scenes from broker open houses, polo games, yacht life and more, there is sure to be an awww from viewers!”
