The Next Step Realty (Next Step Realty New York, LLC) is a real estate brokerage firm designed to help recent college graduates find their first apartments in Manhattan. The Next Step Realty strictly pre-qualifies and trains appropriate rental agents to work with graduates, match makes the graduates and agents strategically, and helps graduates save money by automatically discounting broker fees. The company contracts in-house, young, up-and-coming agents who are given the opportunity to increase their short-term income potential, gain more experience in the field, and to maximize the quality and size of their long-term client base, while recent graduates are simultaneously given cost-effective and professional guidance on their first apartment search. Next Step maintains relationships with clients beyond their first apartment, as they grow and mature in their careers and lives in Manhattan.
