"We had an amazing experience with Next Step and our agent, Michelle Calogero. From our initial phone call to finding the apartment, Michelle was very understanding of our needs. We were concerned about finding an apartment in our budget, but she showed us many great apartments at or under or price range, and we couldn't be happier with our new home! She was extremely organized and made our day of finding apartments very easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!!"

"Next Step Realty and my real estate broker Margit Weinberg were fantastic! Margit did all the research and I was able to find an apartment in Manhattan in one day. I highly recommend both Next Step and Margit. First class operation!"

"Victoria Scott was amazing!!! Really went above and beyond to ensure the whole process was organized, swift, and ended with me having the apartment I was in love with! Even after having a few hiccups on my end with my living situation, Victoria made it happen and worked with myself and the apartment broker to secure my apartment. Could not be happier and it made the whole process SO much less stressful! They really take care/think of everything!"

"Next Step was amazing! We had used other agencies and agents before and had a completely different experience. I had a 5 minute conversation with my agent Meena Ziabari, to explain to her what was important to us in our new space and she went out and found an entire list of places that met all of our needs and were within our budget. They then drove us to each one and helped us get all the paperwork together that we needed to get the lease signed. Thanks Meena!"

"After a horrific experience of trying to go out and find an apt on our own, and then with an inexperienced realtor who lost us 2 apartments, we finally called Next Step Realty. We found out about them from a recommendation of a friend, who had an amazing experience with Meena. Within the first few minutes of my conversation with Meena, I knew I had finally found our realtor. Her calm demeanor was a breath of fresh air in the frantic world of NYC realty. Before we could even schedule a tour of apartments, she asked me if I would be interested in an apartment that would be a lease takeover. The apartment was set to be listed that night, so I met her at the apt thirty minutes later. I fell in love with it, and put down our application deposit that night. Despite the recalcitrant landlords who moved so slowly and the flakey tenant from whom we took over the lease, we are THRILLED with our amazing apartment, located in the neighborhood we wanted and a whooping $400 under our budget. I will absolutely use Meena and Next Step Realty again, her professionalism, commitment, and general friendliness is above and beyond! Thanks Meena and Next Step Realty for everything! "

"I recently graduated international student who didn't have a credit history and was only just starting out at a new job and I was so apprehensive about moving to NY because of how expensive and complicated the process can be (not to mention competitive!) especially because NY landlords are notoriously strict and picky with who they let lease with them. I honestly believe I was so lucky to have Next Step to help me find my apartment. Am convinced these guys are one of NY's hidden secrets! If you guys are lucky enough to get Victoria Scott (like I did haha), rest assured that she is very meticulous and prepared and you will make the most out of your scheduled visit. She really worked hard to make sure the places we went to visit were all places that fit my needs, but that I would also more likely get approved for if I were to apply. I think the next worst thing than not finding an apartment you like at all, is to find one you love but then find out that you dont qualify to live in it. Because I was only able to be in NY for that weekend, Victoria took me to see about 12 apartments in a day! We went around in a car, which saved SO much time, and unlike other NY brokers that sometimes go to a unit and then surprise surprise dont even have a key to get in, every apt we went to was seamless visit. I really cannot understate the value of the prep work they did and the speed in which they secured me the apartment and facilitated my move in needs, really. I know people dont like paying the broker fee, but let me say these guys really earn their fee. They really do so much so that you can save SO much time, and it takes out so much of the guesswork, and you dont have to worry about getting scammed. You're signing a year long lease, isn't it worth getting a professional's help to land a place to live that you'll love coming home to?"

"Moving to New York was a daunting and stressful task made easier by help from Next Step. I had very little direction in terms of neighborhood or amenities and was completely unprepared for the pace and competitiveness of the NY rental market. My broker helped me narrow down my priorities and find a fantastic apartment while also keeping me sane throughout the process. Definitely would recommend Next Step for any new comers to the city. "

"Margit made it extremely easy to find my dream apartment. She took me around in a car to see a variety of apartments so I could get a feel for what was available. I was able to select an apartment and sign my lease in a short period of time. She was really great to work with -- efficient and knew the market well. I would highly recommend Next Step to any young person looking for an apartment in New York."

"Next Step was a great resource to use while looking for our first apartment in New York. They really streamlined the process and made it as stress free as possible. Our agent, Katie Cummings, was very accommodating and we really appreciate all her help."
