Netflix star Sara Burack, best known as a luxury real estate agent who appeared on “Million Dollar Beach House,” has died at age 40 in a Hamptons Bay hit-and-run.
Burack was discovered lying unconscious on the side of Montauk Highway, near Villa Paul Restaurant, at around 2:45 a.m. Thursday.
Responding officers found her with serious injuries indicating she’d been hit by a car, according to Southampton Town Police. She was immediately rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she died that afternoon, confirmed her friend and fellow realtor Paulette Corsair.
Corsair, who was with Burack in her final hours, said her friend suffered severe injuries to her head, brain and liver, as well as a broken leg.
Police on Friday were still on the hunt for the driver, who fled the scene of the crash, as well as for information on the vehicle involved. Authorities have asked the public to come forward with any leads that can help identify the suspect.

Burack lived in Southampton and was a successful broker and former agent with Nest Seekers International, a luxury firm with offices in New York City, the Hamptons, Connecticut and New Jersey.
In an interview with Hamptons.com in 2020, Burack said she first got into the industry via her family’s Rye, N.Y.-based commercial construction and material sales business, which she spent many years working for prior to beginning her career in real estate.
“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 the outlet. “I have been spending half the year in the Hamptons for the past 11 years. It was only natural to turn my love for real estate into a blossoming career.”
Burack starred on the reality series “Million Dollar Beach House” in 2020. The show followed a group of young and hungry realtors as they competed to seal the deal on luxury listings in the Hamptons.
She also worked as an events and business development coordinator for Social Life Magazine, according to her LinkedIn.
Burack is survived by her parents, sister and brother-in-law.
