"Next step was fantastic in helping my roommate and I find a new apartment! They found us a place that was an incredible deal, it was the first apartment we saw but too good to turn down. They have been extremely helpful every step of the way and I highly recommend this over the traditional broker! They let us take our time and did not try to force us into a new home that we were unsure of."

"I have worked with several brokers in the past and Meena (and Next Step) is the best experience I have had thus far. I felt like Meena communicated honestly and effectively, and in a business where shady practices are common, Meena's professionalism was refreshing. Although we went with the first apartment we saw, having a car to see apartments makes the process much easier. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place in NYC."

"Next Step Realty was a great service to use for our first apartment! They were very accommodating to our preferences and we were able to find an apartment in only one day! Katie Cummings was our agent and she gave us a great service. "

"I never expected apartment hunting in NYC to be easy, but Next Step Realty made it so. Matt Bauman was an especially amazing broker. From start to finish, Matt was so helpful and attentive. Apartment hunting was also extremely efficient, and we found the perfect place just a few apartments in. And by perfect, I mean it is far more than what we originally expected we could get with our budget. We have some friends in NYC who came to visit and couldn't believe how lucky we were to get this apartment. We really appreciate all of the time and thought Matt put into helping us -- he really went above and beyond. Thank you, Matt, and Next Step team!"

"Michelle and her team were a great help in our relocation to New York. She was accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, and resourceful. She and the team made what is usually a headache of a process seamless and stress free. Thanks, Michelle!"

"Jordan Glaser was great to work with ! He was very easy to talk to about our expectations/needs and he was able to find exactly what we wanted. He was extremely helpful in the application process and making sure we got the apartment we wanted. Further, he was very efficient in getting all of the necessary documents ready before our appointment. The entire process of visiting places and putting in our application only took a few hours and couldn't have gone easier. Amazing experience overall !"

"Not my first move in Manhattan but certainly my easiest thanks to The Next Step and Michelle Calogero. In a matter of hours on a Friday, I looked at several apartments and completed the application - by Monday, I had been approved and was already planning the move. So grateful for the easy and pleasant process - thank you!"

"Margit Weinberg made my apartment search in New York City as seamless as possible. We had a few conversations early on about what exactly I was looking for, and she delivered. Every place she took me to was a place I could see myself living in, and I really did fall in love with the one I chose. She was incredibly informative and knowledgable the day of my search, laying out all of the pros and cons of each place. She was beyond helpful and really put my interests first, which does not happen all of the time in the real estate world. The process could not have been any smoother and stress-free, and I will definitely be recommending Margit and Next Step to all of my friends! "

"Cannot recommend Next Step (and particularly Matt) highly enough. The apartment he found us has more than what we ever expected we could get with our budget. We're extremely happy with the apartment, the building, the location. Matt really listened to us and we more than checked off all of our "want" check boxes. He was also extremely attentive and organized through the acceptance process. There was a lot of back and forth between different parties, but he told us exactly what we needed to do and kept us updated. If we didn't have a broker, we probably would've given up on this apartment a long time ago. But we're so glad it worked out, and we thank Matt for making it happen."

"Michelle Calogero exceeded our expectations on our apartment hunt. I was nervous going into this process that there was nothing within my price range, but was relieved on the day of our tour to see that the listings we would be seeing were at or below our max budget! Although our search was limited to the Upper East Side, Michelle provided us with a wide variety of rentals that fit our basic criteria, making our decision that much harder! She answered all of our questions promptly and made this process as stress-free as possible for three girls who had just met. We were able to sign a lease on our selected apartment the day of our tour! I can't imagine moving to New York City without Next Step - HIGHLY recommended. "
