About Anna Russell

Born and raised in Corral de Tierra, Anna grew up in the agricultural community of the Salinas Valley. After high school, she followed an interest in language and international relations to a Swiss university near the border of Italy. Following university, she returned home to the peninsula to pursue a Masters in Terrorism Studies at MIIS. During this time, Anna developed an interest in viticulture and enology while working for several local wineries.

 

Falling in love with the wine industry and the enticing combination of agriculture and hospitality, she opened De Tierra Vineyards in Carmel-by-the-Sea in 2013. This experience with luxury goods, sales, and community building led to an interest in real estate investing. Anna brings with her to Monterey Coast Realty a keen understanding of hospitality, viticulture and lifestyle properties, and a passion for people. Whether it is a second home, a 1031 exchange, or a new business endeavor, Anna will bring experience and unique insight to her clients.
