"My two roommates and I recently used Next Step to help us find an apartment when we moved from Dallas to NYC. We knew very little about the city and how to navigate the real-estate market there. Next Step made it extremely easy for us! Our agent, Jessica, was very knowledgeable of the properties we saw and attentive of our needs. She was also extremely friendly and felt like she sincerely cared about helping us find the right place. Without her help, we would have been completely stuck and wouldn't have ended up in the great apartment that we live in now. I would highly recommend Next Step to anyone that needs help finding a place to live in the city!"

"My fiancé and I recently moved to New York, and we knew next to nothing about finding an apartment here. Next Step answered all our questions and got us set up in an apartment that we love!"

"Next Step Reality was professional and easy to work with. Michelle Calogero provided a variety of apartment options within our requirements which made the apartment hunting process more efficient and less overwhelming. We had an excellent experience with the company and Michelle. Would recommend using Next Step!"

"I cannot express how thankful I am that I found next step when looking for an apartment. Sarah made the whole process stress free (and fun!!) which is amazing because I didn't think that was possible when looking for an apartment in NYC. I had a great experience with Sarah before even meeting with her to see apartments, she explained all the stuff we needed over the phone so we could have all our papers in order in advance. The day of apartment hunting was super easy, a driver brought us from place to place which made the day a lot less tiring than it could have been. We saw probably 6 or 7 places before deciding on one we loved, and got our application in the very same day within hours! Sarah was so incredibly helpful throughout the day, she had a clear vision of what we wanted (and what our price range was) and was on our side when seeing apartments. We really felt comfortable the whole time, and never felt like we were being pushed around to pick a specific place. I am so happy with our final choice of apartment, and we definitely would not have found it without Sarah. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah to friends and family, in fact I would probably do my best to convince them to use next step!"

"I recently graduated college and moved from DC to NYC. Next Step Realty was recommended to me by some friends so I decided to give it a shot after hearing some of the horror stories of renting an apartment in NYC. My agent was Meena Ziabari. Meena was so friendly and helpful and really made the whole process simple. She was very knowledgeable and was willing to explain how everything worked. She was very transparent in the positives and negatives of each place we saw which gave me more confidence that she was really trying to find the best fit for me. We saw many different places and I had my first NYC apartment in a matter of days. The turnaround time was very short and Meena was there to help push things along. The part that impressed me the most was her continued advice and assistance after she had already been compensated. She continued to answer any random questions I had regarding move-in process formalities, what size air conditioner would fit, etc. I would definitely recommend Next Step, specifically Meena, to anyone moving to NYC."

"Couldn't of been happier with Jessica and Next Step- they made this process so incredibly easy. I never thought that finding a NYC apartment for grad school would be so EASY and fun. I'm thrilled at the results and could not of imagined a better experience. Thank you!!"

"My roommate and I were referred to Next Step Realty through a friend and right away they were so helpful with our questions. We absolutely loved working with our agent, Sarah. She took our concerns and preferences and set up a day full of great apartments and we found the perfect place. She answered all of our questions (even all the dumb ones!) and helped us step by step through all the paperwork up until we signed the lease. We had such a pleasant and fun experience spending the day with her as she was honest and knowledgeable about everything. We couldn't say nicer things about Sarah and would recommend her, and Next Step, to any recent grad or anyone looking for their first NYC apartment."

"I heard of Next Step through my employer. When I contacted them my roommate and I received Jessica as our broker. She was extremely helpful throughout our entire apartment search. My roommate and I just graduated college and were preparing to start our careers in NYC. Throughout the whole process Jessica was transparent and honest with us making it easier for us to understand the market and what to expect. We would have not gotten our first apartment without her! I would highly recommend Next Step to anyone moving in NYC especially if you are new to the city."

"I had previously only spent 1-2 days in NYC when I met my realtor, Jessica. I told her what I wanted out of an apartment (e.g., commute times, price, neighborhood, etc.) and she showed me 6 spots that met my criteria. We met at 10:00am and I saw the spot I wanted by noon. Throughout the process, she represented my interests and made the lease signing arrangements run smoothly so that I could move into the apartment ASAP. I would recommend this to any of my friends that need help finding a spot and want to feel at ease throughout the whole experience. Thanks Jessica!"
