We were so excited on the day of closing that we finally had that great home in Ocean City! Thank you for the monogrammed beach bag. We'll get alot of use out of it. We also want to thank you for being so knowledgeable, helpful and professional throughout the entire process. You were a pleasure to work with.

The Swenson family would like to thank you for all your efforts with the recent sale of our Dad's home at 17 Mariana Lane in Ocean City, NJ. From the moment you presented yourself to us, to the signing of the final settlement papers, you were always a professional. You put us at ease, found us a buyer, and followed through with all of your promises. With the help of your teammate Amy Konick settlement was so easy it surpassed our expectations. The Sheppard team came highly recommended to us and we in turn will be happy to recommend you to others. Thank you so much.

10 years ago, we were looking to purchase a home in Ocean City, NJ so my wife Catherine and I stopped by the office of Fox & Roach on 55th St. There we met Joe Sheppard who assisted us to search for that dream shore home.

What made Joe different was that he seemed to be more concern for our interest and happiness instead of what he was to make from our sale. He was always there for us whether phone calls with questions or driving us around when we came down. Though purchasing a home takes time, Joe was very patient and there was no pressure from him to choose any of the locations he may of brought us to.

We finally settled on a home on West Ave. and have been there ever since. Though we have purchased the home as a rental property investment, Joe and his assistant Amy have always provided us the opportunity of bringing families in to view our home which has allowed us full 10 years of summer rentals. Joe and Amy have taken charge in resolving situations steming from either repairs that may have come up to family rental questions allowing us the homeowner, a comfort and relaxing thought of both of them being there. Thank you.

We are writing this letter to express our most sincere Thank You for all you did in helping us find and ultimately purchase the home we now occupy on 49th St.

When we decided to move from suburban Bucks County PA, to the shore as permanent residents we knew Ocean City was where we wanted to live. Although we had vacationed here many times, we knew very little about the various parts of the city and the types and styles of real estate available and the pros and cons we needed to consider in moving here as permanent residents. In other word we knew that we needed the help of an Expert, and after checking with some people we were led to you. Over a three month period from our first inquiry, right up to having to a signed agreement, you spent all the time with us that we asked of you and more. You listened carefully to our explanation about the type of home we would consider, the view we wanted, and the size and price range we were interested in. You e-mailed information about properties we should consider, and did not waste our time showing us properties that did not meet our criteria. You took time and explained the tax situation and the differences between new construction and existing homes. You explained the zoning and tax changes that have occurred over the years and you not only explained but spent hours in the car showing us all the Ocean City neighborhoods and describing their characteristics. You explained the difference between homes built as year around residences and houses built as rental properties.

You took the time to show us several houses, but you understood our wants and desires so well, that the first house you showed us, was the one we finally purchased.

It has been 1 year since we made our purchase, and 7 month since we actually moved in. Everyday, we comment to one another about how pleased we are with our purchase and with our decision to live here in Ocean City as year round residents. Joe, thank you once again for taking us under your wing and doing such an outstanding job helping us to find and purchase our new home.

Joe Sheppard and Amy Konick are a dynamic real estate team who always put their clients first. They are knowedgeable about the OC market, keep their clients updated as necessary, check on their rental properties throughout the year, make recommendations as needed and are always available to assist with a problem, referal, etc. There isn't any other team on the island as accommodating and conscientous as The Joe Sheppard Team. I have referred them in the past and will continue to do so.

“Joe’s extreme knowledge of Ocean City is undeniable. During our first purchase, he negotiated a fair price between both parties. He guaranteed that our property, without any rental history, would rent. The next day after our settlement we had five weeks booked for our first summer! Believe what he says and you will benefit greatly with a property that will meet your needs and help you achieve your goals.”

Ignazio and Jo Ann Morgano

We bought our first Ocean City property through Joe Sheppard and when it came time to "upgrade", we did not think twice about calling Joe to help us find a new home and sell the old one. Throughout all transactions, we found him to be efficient, very knowledgeable about every aspect of Ocean City, but above all else, honest. We found his assistant, Amy, to be also efficient, knowledgeable and honest. They did everything they could to make the process as easy as possible. When it's time for our next real estate venture, we will call Joe first because of the honesty. That's huge in real estate............and he sends great Christmas cards.

Joe Sheppard, Amy Konick, and the rest of the team at Prudential Fox & Roach have been extremely valuable and helpful to me over the past several years. Joe and the team were not only instrumental in securing an excellent property for me that has greatly appreciated in the past 5 years, but they have also been very helpful with rentals and the management of the property. As I continue to offer my unit for summer rentals, the Sheppard team continuous to support me with quality tenants, as well as suggestion for improvements during the off season. I feel like I have true partner with my property.

Joe Sheppard does much more than simply listen to his customers. Instead, he embraces their dreams of owning a beach house and turns them into realities. While Joe clearly was interested in making a sale, he never overlooked our needs, as he worked to build a long-term relationship with us. Joe understood the importance of developing a thorough understanding of both our beach house “wish list” and financial resources. Then with that knowledge in mind, he worked diligently to help us maximize our investment. Joe was persistent, but never overbearing, knowing that the decision to buy a beach house was one of the most significant ones we would make during our lives. In addition to helping us find the ideal beach house, Joe also made sure the purchase process went smoothly. Plus, he was always available to patiently answer our many questions. Joe Sheppard, who was recommended to us by another satisfied customer, proved to be a knowledgeable professional with a dynamite personality. He’ll continue to be a long-time friend.
