I've been dealing with Fox Realty in Ocean City, New Jersey for a number of years…read more my agent had been Brett English. they are most accommodating and will go out of their way to find summer rentals. great customer service.

Upon checking into our rental property in Ocean City, NJ (329 Corinthian Avenue, 1st Floor) I…read morenoticed immediately that it had not been cleaned. It was an older property and at lower price so I was not expecting it to be the nicest place; however I did expect it to be cleaned properly. In fact, prior to renting my husband asked the realtor about the cleanliness and we were assured it was clean. My family has been renting at the Jersey Shore for 40+ years so we are more than accustomed to the normal wear/tear of beach rentals; however we have never experienced arriving to a rental so filthy. I reached out to our realtor and quickly received a call back. Our realtor stated he would reach out to the owner and be in touch. Shortly after that phone call, a woman named Stephanie arrived (assuming she was the owner, but she did not identify herself as the owner) to assess the situation and agreed that the house was in need of a cleaning. She contacted "the cleaning service" and informed us that it had been a different crew than normal and they would return to clean that day. She appeared to be concerned, apologized and upon our request provided some cleaning supplies, which I definitely appreciated. Later that day we received another call from the realtor stating that cleaning crew could not come back until tomorrow. Our options were to wait until Sunday OR the owner was willing to reimburse us the $145 cleaning fee. At that point, we had already spent 2 hours cleaning the place so unhappily we accepted the reimbursement. However, it quickly became evident that no cleaning crew had ever been there. By the time we got the rental to place where it was livable (hours later), we seriously questioned whether this property has a regular cleaning service (hence the quotes earlier in this review.) Some highlights: When making the beds we noticed the mattress pads had blood stains (see photo). The amount of sand/debris near and on the washing machine was appalling. There were soiled clothes on the side of the washer, along with trash, lint, empty detergent bottles, and useless cleaning supplies (a broom that did not work). The entrance way (should have gave it away) was covered in litter and leaves (see photo). In addition we found out later that the outside light bulb was blown out, so my husband had to buy light bulbs to replace. Just an example of neglect of regular upkeep and maintenance. Additionally, the plug in the master bathroom did not appear to be up to code as it was not GFCI protected. The floors were covered in sand, dead bugs, debris, food and band aids (see photos). The window sills and outside deck were covered in black film and looked like they have not been wiped down in months. My husband bought a broom and bucket and borrowed a hose to clean thoroughly, we ended buying table clothes as well to cover the tables. We had to do this for the kitchen table too because it was so sticky and grimy that everything stuck to it. The amount of debris under and in (it was a pull out) the sofa was disgusting. (see photos) The refrigerator was dirty- my husband asked the Stephanie if the cleaning crew typically wiped it out and she did not know. As a rental owners, ourselves, this was shocking. We provided our cleaning service with a very detailed list of tasks to do in between rentals, clearly this was not the case. In addition, the freezer had a ice machine and the ice smelled and was inedible - when it melted it tasted disguising. I am sure the filter had not been changed in years. Again, as regular visitors down the shore, we are accustomed to the water; however this was beyond anything we ever experienced. We ended up buying bagged ice the entire time. The bathroom sinks were dirty with toothpaste and floors covered in hair. To say this was unpleasant is an understatement. We ended up staying in a hotel for a couple of nights just to get away. Because of this, we requested that the owner consider reimbursing for one full night (which, in my opinion is conservative). I wrote to our realtor with the request and received a very brief email stating that an email had been left with the owner. That was the end of the communication. I followed-up but never heard back. Eventually I submitted communication via Fox's website addressed directly to the owner (Gary Jessel) but did not hear back. I also sent the attached pictures but again no response. I get that there is a short summer season in NJ therefore the opportunity for making money is limited however the utter disregard and obvious neglect is unacceptable. I expected better from an agency that has been in OC for so long but was greatly disappointed.

This is the second year that I have rented from Berger Realty. The first year was off season. The…read moreplace I stayed was okay. It was second floor and a lot of steps. There was broken glass under the coffee table.I cleaned it up. It was reasonably clean otherwise. No curtains on the windows in the bedroom. I had to put a blanket up to sleep. This year, there was construction going on upstairs from the first floor rental. Less steps but a lot of banging, hammering, sawing, etc. Less steps was great, not being able to enjoy any peace, not so great. Our agent, Susan Goetz, did not do her due diligence to know what she was renting. I would think an experienced realtor would have checked into the properties being rented. When contacted, she called back and told us, that it would only be one more day. We talked to the people upstairs doing work and were told it would be going on all week. Hmmm... We had family that had to leave because of the noise. Babies can't sleep in a construction zone. Our trip was essentially ruined. The place has some hazards which I am sure no one cares about. There was no accommodation change, no refund or compensation. Then we were told the owner had no intention of refunding any money. Berger did little or nothing to make it right. Susan you've lost my business and so has Berger Realty.

My family has rented the same condo complex for years, using a different OCNJ realtor. While on…read morevacation this year, the owner of Jesse intruded into my condo three separate times to correct a leak in a condo he purchased. I was never told the second time that his contractor would be returning. The following day, I had contractors in my condo from 9-3, and my condo door was left unlocked and wide open, with a chemical smell permeating the entire condo and breezeway. I was unable to use my shower that day. The owner never expressed concern for interrupting my vacation, nor did he attempt to do anything to rectify the situation aside from offering a discount on his property for the following year. There are countless realtors on the island. Do yourself a favor and choose anyone but Jesse as they obviously have no interest in customer satisfaction.

It was extremely dirty run down and falling apart!!! Upon arriving had to literally clean before we could put our things down! We had to call the reality company because the first thing we could not use was the toilet, as the toilet seat was falling off the toilet and was painted over--gross!!! Then upon inspecting the unit the shower curtain was moldy there was dried blood on the bed and the pull out sofa was falling apart and there was toys and food inside it!! The linoleum in the kitchen was full of holes and the hardware on the kitchen cabinets were falling off!! Also mold in the toilet , dirt on top of the refrigerator, screen door bent and unusable, sliding closet doors off track and the furniture and TV were probably purchased in the early 80's!! We sent pictures of all these things to agency to be forwarded to owner! All involved washed there hands of the issue! Beware do not rent this unit!!! They both took our money and did nothing for us!!! They told us that they don't have time to check there 1600 properties to make sure they are fit for rental! They have to rely on the pictures the owner gives them--so I have the true pictures if someone wants to really see what this rental is truly like!!! Do not use this real estate company and do not rent unit 506 in Santa Barbara north!!!!! We trusted this real estate agency to stand behind what they posted online!!! They did not!!!

It is my understanding that she is also supposed to be the property manager. No one serviced the property's air conditioner and the condensation backed up and leaked through my ceiling. Not only was the AC not properly cared for but when she was notified by the tenant on Friday about the leak she did not have anyone come to fix it until Monday. My insurance company is now on their way over here. They will have to go after her client's insurance company. I'm going to have to live with fans and dehumidifiers because no one did a 5 minute job and then waited from Friday until Monday to take care of her client's property. Furthermore, when I contacted her she was extremely nasty. I would not use anyone in that office for anything.

We initially signed up for property alerts in mid-January. Though I wouldn't describe it as an…read moreactive search, we were monitoring the listings that were sent to us. In mid-April, we came upon a property of interest and I finally picked up the phone and called Jennifer Dwyer. It didn't take long for me to realize that the person on the other end of the line felt more like a friend than an agent. From that initial phone call...through the modified searches...to our June closing (and beyond), Jen always managed to make us feel like her top priority. More times than I can count, Jen went above and beyond for us. Whether it was setting up inspections; meeting with a contractor to get a bid; securing our first packages that arrived ahead of schedule (and before closing)...the list goes on and on. With the two questions she often asked me - "How can I help?" and "What can I take off your plate?" - Jen not only made the entire process smooth, but often, pleasant. After her most recent help, I sent her this text: "Boy Jen...did I ever make the BEST decision of my life asking you to help me find a house! You have been a godsend over and over! Thank you!! Soooooo grateful for you!!" Needless to say, I highly recommend Jennifer Dwyer to anyone looking to purchase a home in Ocean City, NJ!

The ONLY GOOD THING about this location is it is less than 20 feet to the boardwalk. Great location. No wonder why the contract has a clause "tenant assumes the units condition sight unseen". The place was far from clean. Sand everywhere. Black tub, and furniture stains. Had to clean the whole thing. Sign in the unit stated to contact the realtor if it is not in order. So I did. He said he would contact the owners and get back to me. 4 DAYS AGO. Also advertised WiFi. The WiFi is centrally located and NOT per unit. My brand new iPhone and my Xbox could not connect and stated the issue is with the router. Please remove WiFi from the listing as it only works OUTSIDE OF MY ROOM IN THE HALLWAY. The pictures in the listing hide all the dirt and dinginess of this unit. The keys we were given to get into the unit after hours did not work and we got locked out and had to wait for someone else living there to let us in. We were not given a parking permit for the numbered spot so I hope our car doesn't get towed. We booked this from June 1-8 and will be leaving a few days early because of the mess of this condo. The whole thing is in dire need of a renovation. Our specific realtor was of zero help and the "owner" of the unit pretty much told us to pound sand. Stay far away from this condo complex and do not use this Berkshire office on 34th.
