"Using Next Step was a great decision based on how busy my schedule was while searching for a new home. Meena was phenomenal! She dealt with many schedule conflicts from my end and found exactly the taste and style that I was looking for. She took time to understand the wants and needs of this new home and presented only top notch options tailored to what she knew I was seeking. Meena was also extremely helpful and patient in the process that can be overbearing for an international tenant. I would highly recommend her service."

"Knowing that the real estate market in NYC moves extremely fast, my girlfriend and I decided that we needed to consider help from a broker in order to have the best shot at listings. We found Next Step Realty and the rest is history. It was a very convenient process overall. A representative from the office sets up time for a quick call to ask for all of your preferences, budget, etc. Then, the process is very simple: 1) you get paired with a broker; 2) go out on apartment showings; 3) decide on your apartment and that's it! Okay... it sounds really quick in the grand scheme, but that's because our agent played a crucial part in the process. We were paired with Katie Cummings and we can't thank Katie enough for her extensive knowledge of the market and advice/tips during our apartment search. She asked all the right questions, and set up multiple showings on a day that worked with our busy schedules. After the showings, Katie brought us back to the Next Step office to help us narrow down our apartment choices. She was extremely professional, but we have to mention that it felt more like a friend helping us with this big step in our lives than someone who you just hire to "get the job done". This really made us feel comfortable and solidified the idea that Next Step and all of its staff are doing something right! You also cannot beat the broker fee, which is much lower than the average rate. Again, Katie was amazing, and really pushed to get us the apartment we wanted for a price that was better for us by negotiating with the listing agent. She was even there on the lease signing day and organized everything. We really recommend Next Step Realty and Katie to anyone who is searching for an apartment in the city!"

"I could not have asked for a better experience with Next Step. Even in a tough market, Victoria was able to find exactly what I needed. My apartment has a perfect location and is comfortably within my budget. Victoria and the Next Step team have been kind, honest, prompt, and extremely helpful. My move has gone more smoothly than expected, and for that I am grateful! I would definitely recommend both Next Step and Victoria."

"I heard about Next Step from a friend who had used them for her first apartment and loved them -- so after looking at a million places on Trulia and meeting with several brokers I decided to give them a try. I was immediately contacted and asked about what I was looking for/budget/ and preferences. The agency set me up with my broker, Mary, who was the absolute best! She scheduled a day of apartment viewing - even around my work schedule which is hard to find. She was extremely flexible whenever I wanted to see another place, or return at a different time. She completely listened to my criteria for my apartments and understood what I was looking for - she even gave me great tips about lease renewals. When my budget and criteria completely changed - she was so accommodating and luckily had the perfect place for me! She helped me through the whole process and would even meet me at work to pick up my checks and paperwork. Mary is amazing! And the Next Step Agency was so friendly and probably the only place you can get a 12% broker fee. I would recommend them to everyone and especially to someone looking for their first apartment in NYC. Thanks Mary!"

"I loved working with Next Step! Margit is an amazing realtor and made the process so easy, from setting up the viewings to applying for an apartment and signing the lease. I am so happy in my new place and can't imagine how I would have done it without her and the rest of the Next Step team! "

"Choosing Next Step was the perfect choice for my roommate and I. Meena Ziabari matched us with our amazing apartment in Brooklyn and we couldn't be happier with it and with the experience we had! We looked at 8 different apartments and chose one within 3 hours on the same day. If you need someone to help you find an apartment, choose Meena and Next Step and you won't be disappointed! "
