Burack had worked as a real estate agent at the Nest Seekers International agency, which is a global firm specialising in luxury properties, as seen on the Netflix show.
It’s been reported that Burack left the agency over a year ago, but still kept in touch with her former colleagues.
This included the Nest Seekers regional manager Geoff Gifkins, who has paid tribute to her.
Gifkins said in a statement supplied to Newsday: ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends.
‘Please be kind and respectful as this is a tremendous loss to her parents and close friends.’
When it first aired, Million Dollar Beach House was billed as East Coast spin on Selling Sunset, with personal dramas alongside the all-important luxurious listings.
