Fox Real Estate - Ocean City, New Jersey

Rented 860 Brighton. Walked inside and the place smells of mold. There are 22 damp rid and odor canisters all over the house. 12 in one room alone. Two full bags of damp rid as well. Called fox to ask owners for a dehumidifier as a short term fix. Said there is not a problem, the owners put them in all their rental properties. Fox won't do anything to help. We're half a block from their office, asked them to come and check it out. Said no.

This real estate agency rented us a home for a week that had a glass smoking pipe that wreaked of weed left in the home. The home was a total slum, broken glass on the floor, broken door locks, outlet covers missing, etc. The real estate agent told us not to report the the pipe to police. There were also security cameras all over the property including INSIDE the house that was NOT disclosed to us. This is creepy and potentially illegal to be recording your tenants inside the home while on vacation. The agent did nothing to resolve the disaster of a rental, nor provide the landlord's contact information to us. Please stay away from Fox Real Estate!

I don't go on vacation often, it's an expensive luxury I can't afford but once every couple years. So I was really looking forward to spending a week at beach in OCNJ with my mom, daughter, grandmother, wife, and brother.

We rented a house from fox real estate for $3000, a 6 day rental. It was a beautiful home in the pictures, and I was really expecting it to be top notch. When we arrived, however, my heart sank. Directly next door to our lovely vacation rental was a sprawling new construction project deep into the framing phrase of the job.

I immediately knew that it was going to be a difficult week. My daughter is one year old and needs to nap often, my grandmother is 83 and also needs to nap often. During the hours of construction, this became nearly impossible. In addition, one of everybody's favorite things about going to the shore is having a relaxing time with family sitting on the front porch. This tried-and-true tradition became next to Impossible with the constant Roar of circular saws, pneumatic nailers, and heavy framing hammers- not to mention the constant blaring air compressor and Diesel high lift fork truck.

I totally understand the need for construction. New homes have to be built. And I have absolutely no issue with that. My issue is that Fox Realty was 100% aware that we would be trying to enjoy our vacation next to this loud construction site, and chose not to tell us. If they had told me, I would absolutely not have rented this home and chosen one of the many others that they had. This wasn't a last-minute rental either. We rented this house about 14 months in advance.

At this point, I don't at all expect them to try and rectify the situation, though we have reached out to them asking to either be moved to a different rental, or at least partially reimbursed, to no avail.

My only hope in writing this review is that your vacation does not get ruined in the way that ours was. Be sure to ask them if something like this is going on next to the house that you're paying thousands of dollars for, even better, consider finding any other real estate and rental company to book your stay with because I do not believe this agency has the best interests of its clients in mind.

Jim is a great Real Estate Salesperson. He asks lots of questions to find out exactly what you are looking for. He truly cares about his clients and makes sure you see the houses that are available not only in your price range but also houses that have all the attributes you are looking for. I am very impressed with his professionalism. If you are looking to buy in Ocean City, NJ, I would call Jim Scott, he will make sure you get the best place that fills your needs.

Jim is a great real estate agent. My wife and I were new to the Ocean City area. Jim was extremely informative, low keyed, not pushy, patient and very responsive to our schedule and all of our questions. Jim helped us find a great home and engineered a smooth closing. We would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking in this area.

Used Fox in 2019 for a 2 week rental with no issues. Used them again in 2020 for a rental across the street on Asbury for a 2 week rental in August. We were told the property would be cleaned to CDC standards. What a joke.The place was Dirty. Food under the beds, Carpets and Furniture were dirty etc etc. We had family coming later in the day so we cleaned and sanitized the place ourselves. We paid well over $5000.00 for this 2 week rental and expected to be clean. We let Fox know in our exit paperwork and never heard a word from them We will never use them again.

Denise Kruk at Fox Real Estate is the absolute best! We needed a last-minute rental. Everyone else we called told us it couldn't be done. Denise called us right away with a couple of great, affordable options and we found a place that's perfect. She was really fast with the paperwork, too. We highly recommend Denise for sales and rentals in Ocean City.

Great real estate agency, Brett was super helpful in fulfilling our summer rental. He was knowledgeable and super nice to speak with and walk us through the process. We enjoyed our week in Ocean City, thanks Brett!
