"I am a recent graduate who was searching for my first real NYC apartment. I'd heard a lot about Next Step from brand ambassadors at my university, so I decided to give it a shot about two days before I was flying into the city to apartment search. I had seen that the broker fee was 13.5% instead of the typical 15%, which made it even more recent grad-friendly. From the beginning, Next Step really listened to what qualities I was looking for in an apartment. Both a client relations member and Katie, contacted me to get as much information as possible to ensure that the apartments they could get matched exactly what I wanted, and they put everything together really fast since I was only in town for a few days. Katie showed me a great variety of apartments that matched all of my criteria, and was very friendly and a pleasure to spend the day with! I ended up finding my apartment that same day, which I hadn't even thought was possible. She was also very helpful during the application process and addressed all of the many questions I had until the very end. She was also really great at following-up to keep me updated on the status of all my paperwork, and she was also able to get me a pro-rated first month since I didn't need to move in until the 2nd week into January. I'm just about to move into my new apartment, and I'm so happy with my decision to have used Next Step and would definitely recommend the agency, and Katie, to anyone searching for an apartment. Thank you Next Step and Katie for helping me find such an amazing first apartment!"

"Jessica was an amazing agent! She was clear, to the point, warm and friendly, and was able to answer any and all questions we had. Even when we saw an apartment we weren't too interested in, she remained positive and eager to help. My roommate and I were newbies to the realty world and felt right at home with Jessica and Next Step!"

"My roommate and I just rented our first apartment and we are so happy to have worked with Next Step!! Our agent Jessica made the process so easy - she was extremely friendly and informative when she showed us the apartment, and was always quick to respond to our MANY questions via email. There were absolutely no surprises and the entire process could not have been more hassle-free. I would absolutely recommend Next Step to anyone looking for apartments in NYC.​"

"Margit is the absolute best! I needed help finding a new apartment in the city and I'm so happy my friend recommended her to me. Definitely wasn't the easiest process with not only having to deal with me and my very particular requests but my over the top parents who live out of state as well - Margit was amazing with answering all their questions/concerns and kept me calm when things got stressful! She was available at any hour/day to take care of whatever was needed and from the very beginning, I knew I was in good hands and could tell she really only wanted the best for me. On top of it all - she was nine months pregnant!!!! I will definitely only use Margit any time I have to move in the city and highly recommend her and the Next Step team!"

"I had the best experience with next step realty. Jordan, my agent, did a fantastic job helping me find an apartment in NYC. From the SUV that took me around town to his professionalism, Jordan made the whole process stress free and helped me find the perfect new home. I highly recommend next step realty for your home search in NYC!!"

She also was great with the application process, helping me to get the correct documents and quickly reacting to any and all hurdles.

"Next Step was a great choice to help with my daughter's apartment search. Jake was our rep and he really knew the city--from restaurants to subways. He showed us so much in just one day we were able to make a decision during that time. He never pushed us allowing my daughter and her friend to determine what they wanted based on their priorities. Jake made an otherwise arduous task enjoyable and efficient."

"My girlfriend and I had found out about this company through a friend who had just used Jake to find her an apartment. We got in touch with them and from the get-go they were professional and on top of everything. After having looked for an apartment in the city for months, this was a huge relief. We set up an appointment with Jake and he said he was planning on showing us more than 10 apartments that day! Needless to say, we found our place the same day and he made the entire renting process extremely easy. He always responded promptly to any questions or concerns and even since moving in has checked up on us multiple times. Would recommend this company to anyone who is moving to the city for the first time!!!"

"My roommate and I had a great experience using Next Step! Our realtor Mary was very helpful throughout the whole process and was able to negotiate our rent down to a more affordable price. We found our apartment on the first day of looking and love it. We would definitely recommend using Next Step for finding a first apartment in NYC."

"Had a fantastic experience with Next Step. Their staff was helpful and professional, helping me navigate the complicated and far too often tortuous world of Manhattan apartment hunting. They fully delivered on all promises and I would recommend them to anyone."
