"Mary was the best agent my roommates and I could have asked for. We are all new to the city and could not have found our amazing home without her help. She was great with communication prior to our arrival so we knew exactly where to meet and what to expect. While looking for apartments, she was great with answering our many questions and helping us to pick the right place for us. I honestly do not think that anyone else could have done a better job. I am so happy and thankful for all of Mary's help!"

"Michelle Calogero worked very hard to ensure that we found a great place in the location we wanted. She also went above and beyond by advocating for us when our move in process became challenging. "

"Meena couldn't have been better to work with. I had a very small window during which to find a place in New York and she lined up several great options, then followed up throughout the application and lease signing process to make sure everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Meena and Next Step if you are looking for an apartment in New York and want a smooth experience. "

"Katie Cummings and the team at Next Step made finding our first apartment in the city so easy! Katie hopped on a conference call with my roommate and me a week before we went out to see places and asked tons of questions about what we were looking for in an apartment, a building, and a neighborhood so that each place she showed us was a realistic possibility for our new home. We saw 6 apartments in one afternoon (in the pouring rain, thank goodness for those Uber XLs!!) and ended up applying for and getting the fourth one we saw! Katie went above and beyond to make sure we got our first choice apartment and now we're happily settled in a great new place! Thanks Next Step! "

"My roommate and I had a great experience with Matt Bauman and Next Step. I was unfortunately unable to be in New York City for the apartment viewings, but Matt made me feel like I was right there with them. Matt sent me a list of the properties they were touring so I could look them up as they went along and, he made sure all the necessary paperwork was in order so we could sign for an apartment immediately. I don't know how we would have found our apartment without Matt and Next Step. I would highly recommend their services."

"Finally home sweet home and settled in NYC! My roommate and I had a remarkable time working with Matt Bauman and Next Step. Matt made our apartment search quick and easy, and especially working with us as international clients and with a fairly unique situation. Conference calls and emails to cover our necessities and wants made the 'day-of' apartment search a smooth process - FaceTime, text messages, and extra guests in tow. The locations Matt selected were exactly what we were looking for and within our desired budget and location. On site, he was great and patient to recap apartment details and remained very unbiased but helpful and professional. Once finding our new place, having Matt facilitate applications, paperwork, and agent communication really made the house hunting process as low stress as possible and enjoyable. Follow-up paperwork and welcome notes have been a nice touch and we'd love to do work with Next Step, but specifically Matt again! Love our new apartment - even as a 5th floor walk-up!"

"Margit Weinberg was such a joy to work with. She was very respectful of our wishes and was genuinely interested in making sure we had an amazing place to live. It was invaluable to have a helping hand in the, often harrowing, process of finding a new place to call home and I would not recommend a better person. Our new apartment has everything we were looking for and the view of the city is breathtaking. We were so pleased to work with Next Step and Margit, they made the search so easy, quick, and efficient and everything we received from them (including an amazing housewarming gift) was incredible.

"Jessica was beyond a pleasure to work with. Not only was she helpful and professional, but also she was easy to talk/relate to. My roommate and I loved our Next Step experience and will definitely reach out to Jessica if we move again. We're loving our new apartment and are so grateful and appreciate of the work Jessica put in to make it all happen. Thanks!"

"Meena was a rockstar from the beginning on our telephone calls. Once we were in NY, we were able to see a wide-span of apartments within Manhattan in one day. We were very lucky to have a driver, which allowed us to avoid NYC summer heat - major perk. My advice to people moving to the city for the first time: use a broker like NSR, be honest with your broker from the get-go, and plan a trip to find your living space a couple of weeks before you officially move. In the end, the broker fee is worth it--trust me. I don't think I'd want to tackle this task alone as a newbie in New York. Thanks again, Meena!!"
