"I was so thankful to have Next Step throughout the apartment search process! Our agent Jake showed us a wide variety of options and helped us talk through our choices and the logistics required to make it official. Next Step knows how the NYC housing market works and made it simple to get started here post-grad."

"I cannot be happier with my experience with Next Step! As recent college graduates, the idea of moving to New York and navigating the tumultuous rental market appeared so daunting. Our agent Jake and the Next Step team made everything a breeze! He connected us with an amazing apartment and helped us work through all the paperwork and steps needed to secure our apartment. I will definitely recommend Next Step to others in the future!"

"Jessica was very helpful in giving us the inside scoop on how to get started in New York. She was also friendly and patient giving we had multiple members of our roommate group on vacation in other continents. Solid experience overall."

"I was referred to Next Step through my employer and they made moving to New York City exciting, fun and insightful to say the very least! From initially speaking with Kate (my agent) to finally signing the lease, all of my questions were answered and each step of the leasing process was clearly outlined. I felt extremely comfortable and prepared going into the daunting process of getting a studio apartment in New York City. Upon arriving at Next Step's East Village office, my girlfriend and I were greeted by Kate and taken to see seven apartments in an extremely comfortable car. The process was logical and we didn't waste anytime, with the help of Kate I was able to secure an apartment on the same day! Further, the apartment was everything I could have asked for, and more! All in all, I would highly recommend Next Step to anyone moving to New York City!"

"Next Step Realty made moving to New York easy and extremely quick! Samantha was absolutely superb and available for a quick response at any time of the day. She did everything she could to guarantee that the lease paperwork was completed in a way that was most convenient to my schedule. Thanks to her incredible service I am now able to relax in a location very similar to the one I had initially imagined. I cannot thank Samantha and Next Step Realty enough. If you're looking to move to NYC, don't think twice about using Next Step Realty!"

"Next step really made the NYC apartment hunting process easy and fun. Margit was knowledgable, helpful, and patient before, during, and after signing my lease. I didn't totally know what I wanted, so Margit showed me a variety of apartments in different neighborhoods and price ranges until I found one I absolutely LOVED. Plus, it was all done totally painlessly in a few hours. I'd recommend next step to everyone, whether you're new to the city or not!"

"My boyfriend and I were referred to Next Step through his employer and we could not be happier with our choice to use their service. We were immediately connected to Katie Cummings who was extremely attentive and dedicated to finding us a place that we both loved. She listened to what we wanted and included these requirements in her search. While we had very specific neighborhoods and amenities that we wanted (in a tight budget I might add) Katie did an incredible job finding us an apartment that is beautiful, clean, and has one of the best supers ever!! I highly recommend Katie and Next Step to anyone beginning their NYC apartment search."

"Next Step was absolutely fabulous in helping me find a place efficiently and relieving much stress for my big move to NYC! I got connected through Next Step because of a corporate partner. They hosted a webinar before the start of the summer which answered many questions that were burning in my head as I was about to start the process. After finding a roommate, I reached out to Next Step regarding setting up an appointment. They had much availability and were easily flexible to our schedules. Next we got to have early contact with our FABULOUS agent Sarah Minton. Sarah was amazing from the very beginning. Helping two recent college graduates finding an apartment in NYC is not an easy task. We had no idea what we were doing and Sarah was easily accessible, answered our numerous questions and was very patient. Her many phone calls before our appointment day helped us get set up and made our appointment day SO stress free. We saw many apartments all in one day and having a driver was so helpful. Sarah was understanding, committed and flexible as we went along. Since neither of us were from the city or close area Sarah pulled her strings and actually had us find and sign for an apartment all on the same day!!!!!!! This was nothing like what we were expecting. It was awesome to return home and have everything all sorted out. Even after getting us our apartment Sarah still remained in contact and helped us with move in questions! My parents were skeptical about having to go through a broker but after this experience.... they said we would NEVER have been able to do this without Sarah and the Next Step Team!!! We are very thankful for all the hard work, we are so happy with our new apartment! I would highly recommend!"

"My 24 year old son moved from South Carolina to NYC for work last month and had only a few weeks to find living arrangements. He and I spent a week looking on our own without any luck and finally scheduled a day with Next Step. Samantha was honest and responsive from the first phone call. She immediately spent quality time advising us and quickly scheduling a day to show us a list of apartments she devised based on his needs. We were driven in a comfy car following a logical schedule she arranged, all the while giving us her expert advice about the various places. By the and of our 3-4 hour tour we unanimously found the perfect apartment. Samantha then advocated tirelessly on our behalf through the myriad of details to secure it. She even went to the lease signing with him and obtained the keys earlier than the lease start thru her relationship with the landlord. We could have never navigated the search and transaction without Next Step and specifically Samantha. Highly recommend the process and wouldn’t hesitate use their valuable services again."
