"Next Step was perfect for us. I am a recent college grad, and I needed to find an affordable place in a hurry before I started work. Matt Bauman was our agentm and he found us a great spot in a young neighborhood for a great price. I really recommend Next Step!"

"Moving to NYC for the first time seemed daunting, but Matt at The Next Step made the transition as seamless as possible for my roommates and me. After a pre-visit call to discuss our location/price/amenity preferences, Matt took us on a tour of about 10 apartments. We found our new apartment in under 3 hours but Matt continued to help us over the next few days. He negotiated a later move-in date with our building's leasing agency, which saved us some money and made sure everything else on our contract was acceptable. Would recommend The Next Step (and Matt) to anyone moving to New York, especially for the first time. Service was great and the broker fees were some of the best we found."

"Katie Cummings was wonderful in helping me and Michael Croteau find an apartment in just a couple of hours. She guided us through asking questions of building managers, lease signing and explaining the ins and outs of renting an apartment in NYC. I would definitely recommend using Next Step Realty to those looking to sign their first lease!"

"Next Step was awesome to work with! They were extremely professional and didn't waste anytime finding me a place I loved. I worked with Matt, and he made the apartment hunting process a breeze (which is saying something when you consider the fact that apartment hunting in NYC is usually a nightmare). I couldn't be happier with my new apartment, or the service I received from Next Step. If you're looking for an easy way to find a new apartment, I highly recommend Next Step and Matt Bauman!"

"Victoria Scott made the stressful process of finding an apt fun. She had a positive attitude and showed us apartments consistent with our preferences. She also was great at following up and making sure our move went smoothly. Thanks Victoria!"

"My roommates and I had a tremendous experience finding our apartment with Katie Cummings and The Next Step Realty. I was contacted immediately after reaching out to The Next Step Realty and Katie made the process as effortless as possible for myself and my roommates. After setting up an appointment Katie began showing us a handful of high quality apartments that met the criteria we had specified, and we were able to find the apartment we liked after spending just one day in Manhattan. Katie was extremely helpful and actually cared about us getting the apartment we desired throughout the entire process. I would recommend Katie and The Next Step Realty to anyone struggling to find an apartment in NYC. My roommates and I were extremely happy and can not say enough good things about our experience working with Katie!"

"My roommate and I are so happy we worked with Next Step. As recent college grads, both beginning full-time employment for the first time and never having lived in New York City, we were unsure how to navigate an NYC apartment search on our own (but wanted to avoid high fees). With Margit, we were able to find an apartment that we absolutely LOVE, and that is in our price range, within two hours of searching! We signed the lease and secured the rental that afternoon. This made our search especially easy since we were traveling from out of town to find our apartment. Margit was also so friendly and made us feel confident and at home despite the craziness of the city. I absolutely recommend working with Next Step!"

"After weeks of hearing from other agents that a five-bedroom rental was simply impossible or you would be paying a crazy sum of money, our group of friends was doubtful. In a true testament to Next Step’s customer-centric focus, our agent, Katie, listened to all of our needs and scheduled tours for 2 five-bedroom places in a single day. By the end of that same day, we secured a perfect place that met the criteria for each roommate. Well done!"
