"I moved to NYC from California and decided to try Next Step upon a friend's recommendation. From helping me understand the market, to sharing anecdotal experience during our super day of apartment viewings, to the moment I stepped into my new apartment, my broker Victoria was a fantastic partner in the process. I cannot imagine how the process could have been more efficient and suited to my needs."

"My fiance and I had such an awesome experience with Next Step Realty. From the get-go, Next Step gathered detailed information about the apartment we were looking for. Our broker, Margit, was amazing. Margit showed us several great apartments, and when we found "the one," she immediately set out to make it ours. From the viewing process to submitting the application to signing the lease, Margit was there every step of the way. She was available to answer questions, and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. Because of her we have found our perfect NYC home. We couldn't have done it without her. We definitely recommend Next Step Realty to anyone looking for a New York City apartment!"

"I recently moved into a studio apartment in NYC. This was my first move on my own and without roommates. My Next Step agent was Margit and she was AMAZING! She was so organized and prepared that I hardly had to think about my huge move. She really listened to everything I thought I was looking for, she went a step beyond that and used her knowledge of the city's options to show me the perfect space! She kept me constantly updated and answered all of my questions. She is ALWAYS available and responsive.This is my second time using Next Step to move in NYC and I would highly highly highly recommend it to everyone! I will never move in NYC again without Margit!!!"

"My girlfriend and I moved from California to NYC and Next Step Realty took all of the stress out. We had a screening call so that our guide, Katie, could get together a list of apartments. Her selection was varied but very targeted around all of our requests, very accommodating. We met up one day at their location in West Village where we reviewed some paperwork and then headed off for the day. It's a long day to see 5 to 10 apartments but it really is the best way to do it because you'll find something you like. We had a blast with Katie, she had everything under control for the whole day. Sure enough, we found a place and she assisted us all the way through final lease signing, which lessened the communication burden, especially being in a different time zone. Katie is extremely detail oriented and I would love to work with her again."

"Next Step provided an excellent apartment search process. Margit and the rest of the team were professional, attentive, and friendly. In one day of tours they helped me find exactly what I was looking for in a home. I would definitely go through Next Step again if I were seeking a new home or apartment in New York."

"Recently moved to NY. Our agent, Katie, did an amazing job. She listened to all our needs and helped us find the perfect apartment very quickly. She was extremely accommodating as we attempted to gather all of the necessary documents and we could not be happier with how painless she made the process."

"Our experience with Next step couldn't be better. We had all the support we needed and they answered all of ours emails and phone calls right away. We felt secure and confident in spite of all the anxiety of relocating from another country and facing the NYC rental scene. Working with Margit Brandt was excellent, she really knows the business. And since she was born and raised in NYC, she was able to understand all of our requests and particularities and guide us to the right direction. In just one day we visited some beautiful apartments and chose the perfect one. I love the building and the neighborhood, and I'm in love with this new place. I thank Next Step and specially Margit. You guys were amazing! I have the feeling we'll be very happy here for the years to come."

"I recently moved to NY, coming from abroad. Margit was our agent and she did an excellent job. At first we were afraid that what we were looking was a bit different from the average, and we were insecure about whether or not it would work out. But Margit did an excellent job in hearing us out and adapting the search to find what was important for us. She did what she promised: a high focus one day apartment hunt in which we saw several places and had chosen one of them by the end of the day. She was also great supporting us through the approval process and overall with all sorts of tips about moving to NY. She was not only quite efficient but also very pleasant to work and spend time with. Definitely recommend."

"When your job consumes most of your time, like mine does, looking for an apartment in Manhattan can feel completely impossible. Next Step made this usually dreaded process quick, easy and actually fun! I wanted to continue searching for apartments into the evening because the Saturday morning hunt was so exciting! Jordan, our broker, was so down to earth and personable, and he understood exactly what we wanted. He did all the paperwork, fought for us to get the place we chose, and really held our hands through the whole process, so we didn't have to think about all the annoying details. I've had numerous other experiences with brokers, and this is the first time that I felt that the broker fee was well-deserved. So many times brokers will just phone it in or it feels like they're pushing an apartment on you instead of helping you find a place to call home. Jordan really cared about what we wanted. He was open with us and we really felt like we connected with him. He had his own driver who chauffeured us to the apartments in a luxury SUV that doubled as a mobile office for discussions between viewings. This really made the experience carefree and enjoyable. We highly recommend Next Step Realty and will absolutely use them the next time we're looking for a place!"

"I recently relocated to NYC from Atlanta for work. A couple of my co-workers had worked with Next Step and had very positive feedback about their moves. Client relations and my broker, Jake, reached out immediately to find out my ideal living location, budget, and amenities were. Jake showed me a number of apartments all within my budget and that included my specific requests. We were able to see a number of places within a short amount of time and by 4 PM I had filled out an application on my top apartment! With Jake providing us with the list of requirements beforehand made the process a lot easier. I cannot imagine moving to NYC for the first time without going through a brokerage like Next Step. Within 2 weeks the apartment was officially mine! I am about to move into my apartment now and Jake made sure to relay all of my concerns/requests about my apartment to the leasing office and all of them were completed prior to my move in. I would definitely recommend Next Step to anyone first moving to NYC!"
