"Starting a new job after graduation was daunting enough without the added challenge of finding an apartment in NYC during the post-pandemic rental frenzy. Luckily, my job offered me VIP status with Next Step. After a brief phone call going over my rental criteria and answering some basic questions, I was set up with my agent Victoria. From our first call, Victoria was extremely professional, honest, and capable navigating the NYC rental market. We set up a day to tour apartments within my budget and preferred neighborhoods. Victoria pre-approved my application materials to ensure that when I found a place, applying would be as seamless as possible. The tour was a whirlwind with some places rented before we had a chance to see them. Still, Victoria's expertise and confidence eased my stress, and it helped that we drove between apartments in Next Step's car service. By the end of the day, my partner and I felt like we had multiple options to choose from. With Victoria's help, we applied that day for our favorite place and were approved within four business days. We moved in this month and are so pleased with our home! Thank so much to Victoria and the rest of the team at Next Step for guiding us through this otherwise stressful process. They made what should have been an incredibly anxious time in our lives much more bearable, and dare I even say fun!"

"I cannot recommend Meena at Next Step enough! I’ve never rented in NYC before and was worried about navigating the real estate market, especially during Covid-19 times. Meena made the whole process so much less stressful. She arranged all the tours of an amazing selection of apartments, and I ended up signing a lease for one of them the same day of the tour. Definitely consider Next Step if you’re looking to rent in NYC!"

"I worked with Jordan at Next Step, and he did a wonderful job finding me an apartment in NY! Jordan showed me a range of options in my desired neighborhood, all within my price range. When I ultimately decided on an apartment, he did a great job ensuring my application was submitted immediately to reserve the apartment, as it was the only one available in the building. Jordan made the process of finding an apartment as seamless as possible, and he listened and responded to all of my wishes and concerns."

"My roommate and I had a bit of a scramble to find an apartment. We reached out to nextstep, and we’re able to quickly connect with a realtor. Within a week we had detailed our specifications and toured apartments soon after. The entire process of finding a solid apartment took only 2-3 weeks. Solid deal. Attached is the view of my new apartment."

"Worked with Meena to find a new apartment. I had never looked for a long-term rental in New York before, but Meena made it incredibly easy. She held regular check ups, took down all my requests, and told me exactly what was possible in my price/location preferences as my tour date approached. On the day of the tours, we drove around to a variety of apartments all within my specifications, and I ended up finding the perfect one. I would highly recommend!"

"Moving from California to NYC is no easy feat, yet Jake made this process very easy and enjoyable. He understood what I was looking for in an apartment and made sure to show me apartments within my budget. Additionally, he saw the process through to the end, ensuring my application approval process went smoothly along with setting up renters insurance. Would definitely recommend!"

"Victoria was a great realtor who was communicative and supportive throughout the process. The entire experience was a breeze (one day of looking at apartments), and the close was very quick. You pay for the convenience! Downside is it is pricey, but all in all my roommate and I are very happy. Thanks, Victoria!"

"My roommate and I recently used The Next Step Realty to find a 2 bedroom apartment in the city. We were paired with Jordan within 24 hours of our first contact with the company and within 48 hours he had found us a perfect place for our needs. It was an extremely quick and painless process! We truly owe so much to Jordan and the Next Step team. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a place in NY!! :)"

"Amazing!! My company put me on to help me make the move to the city and it was a life saver. Having never dealt with the rental market in NYC it would have been impossible without them. Extremely responsive and helpful, making sure I understood all the little rules and requirements that landlords want to see and made sure to find the perfect spot for me. Victoria was amazing! incredible at her job and amazing to talk to! Especially if you have no easy way of coming to the city to see the apartments it is a must and I highly recommend!"
