"Had such a positive experience working with Michelle from Next Step. She quickly and thoughtfully answered all of our questions and worked with us to find a great place. I could not be happier with our new apartment and none of it would have been possible without the help of Michelle and Next Step!"

"Our broker Jake was awesome! Not only did he show my roommate Sumner and I some great apartments, but he also told us where the closest grocery store, subway stop, laundry place, and restaurants were in each neighborhood! He answered all of our questions before we could even ask them! He also stayed in touch with us throughout the moving process to make sure we had everything we needed. We love Jake and Next Step!!!"

"Katie was such a pleasure to work with considering all the variables that went into our apartment search. We had a really tight time table and certain specifications and she was able to address all of our concerns. I cannot thank her enough for her patience and dealing with her constant texts and calls, she was always so readily available! I was definitely hesitant about using a broker but her work and dedication to helping us secure an apartment made it worth while. And now I'm writing this from my new apartment she helped find, that I could not love more!! Next Step Realty is lucky to have her. I highly recommend Next Step and would gladly refer them to Katie any time."

"Jessica helped my roommates and I find the apartment of our dreams! We would not have been able to do it without Jessica and Next Step. Jessica was with us every step of the way, from the apartment search to the tedious paperwork!"

"Before finding Next Step Realty (NSR), my friends and I felt overwhelmed by the infamous and daunting NYC apartment hunt. Coming from Chicago, San Diego, and Honolulu, we didn't know where to begin looking for a feasible, safe, and affordable living arrangement, nor how to effectively weed through the often illegitimate postings we had encountered on Craigslist and the like. But after connecting with our agent Mary Kirby at NSR, it was quickly clear we were in knowledgable, competent, and caring hands. After discussing our desired budget and neighborhoods, Mary worked to show us excellent listings. Our day of tours was made more comfortable with a provided car service, and the expected stresses of lease signing were eased with complimentary rosé! During the time-sensitive paperwork process, one of my housemates had to leave town on an unexpected business trip. Mary still made sure we had all of our ducks in a row, and was always easy to reach by phone and email with questions, providing us with clear, succinct answers. Next Step Realty exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend to all!"

"Spoke with Victoria on the phone -- completely effortless process from the client point of view. She had questions ready and it was all very simple. A month later, showed up and everything was set and ready to go. We had some trouble deciding between apartments and Victoria was cool to talk us through it and didn't at all pressure us (which surprised me, since every broker I know outside of Next Step has usually been pressuring the prospective tenant to just sign a lease, cut a check, and get on with it). She was available basically 24/7 when we had some follow-up questions and she went out of her way to help us multiple times. All in all, Next Step made finding a place and signing a lease a simple 2-3 hour process from start (i.e., the moment you realize you need to start looking for a place) to finish (i.e., signing the lease). Surprisingly painless and an actually rather pleasant experience."

"Liz Levison made the experience of finding an apartment in NYC both enjoyable and easy. I was very reluctant to use a broker at first, but Liz made my search much easier than it would have otherwise been. Both myself and my roommate were on a very tight timetable for finding an apartment and with Liz's help we were able to find the perfect apartment in just 1 day! Prior to our meeting, Liz had already mapped out approximately 10 different places for us to visit. All of them were located in fun neighborhoods that we were interested in, and they were also all close to a subway or main transportation system that made getting to and from work extremely easy. I was really surprised at that i was able to find a place in just a few hours of touring. If i had to do it again, I would without a doubt call Liz. I highly recommend using the Next Step service, and if you do I encourage you to ask for Liz. As I began the search for an apartment I was expecting it to be very stressful, but Liz made entire process seamless. She was on top of everything and has established great relationships with other realty agents that she was able to leverage to get us into our top choice. The platform and idea of Next Step Realty is great, but having Liz as our broker was the main reason as to why I had such a good experience. Next Step Realty is lucky to have an asset like her, and I highly recommend to anyone looking for an apartment in NYC to contact Next Step and ask for Liz."

"I had a great experience with Next Step! Katie lined up a good mix of apartments for me to look at & was very accommodating when I requested to look at more apartments the following day."

"I had to navigate a very quick turnaround for moving to a new apartment and then starting a new job, and Next Step helped make this process as smooth as possible. My broker, Michelle, was extremely helpful, positive, and responsive throughout the entire process; it would have been next to impossible to find an apartment meeting all of my requirements without her and the Next Step team. The application procedure for my landlord was quite extensive, and I am extremely grateful to Michelle for helping me manage that undertaking with as little headache as possible. Michelle and Next Step went above and beyond helping to get me into an apartment to my liking on such a short timeline, and I would highly recommend the company to anyone looking to go with a broker for their apartment search."

"My apartment hunt could not have gone more smoothly than Next Step Realty. I spoke with Victoria over the phone a few days before we went to look at apartment and told her the most important factors in my search. On the day, she had ten places in a variety of price ranges and locations (still within my parameters) so i could easily compare and contrast my different options. We found two great places within 2 hours and I was able to sign a lease within three hours of showing up at the next step office. Victoria also helped a great deal in negotiating with the building manager to push back the move in date. I could not have possibly found such a great apartment with such low move-in costs without next step. They made what has been a very long and painful experience in the past into a fun afternoon."
