MEET YOUR POINT OF CONTACT

Hi, I'm Sofía. I started MoveToNYC so nobody has to figure out New York alone.

I'm from Spain and I have lived in New York for 8 years. I come from investment analysis and real estate transactions, and I kept meeting people who moved here without anyone explaining how renting or buying really works. Now I do that from your first message, in English or Spanish, with a team that grows with every client.

CLIENT STORIES

From a new country to a place of their own.

Hear from clients who found their New York home with us

“My friends and I were looking for a three-bedroom apartment before moving to New York for my studies at Columbia. The team made everything feel straightforward and transparent. The live video tours were so detailed that it felt like being there in person. They explained the documents we needed and the different building types, which was a huge help coming from abroad. We’re so happy with the apartment we chose.”

Andrea · Uruguay

Columbia student · Three-bedroom rental

“I was looking for a one-bedroom apartment near NYU, and the team helped me throughout the entire process. Everything moved quickly, and they answered all my questions. When I arrived in New York, the apartment was exactly as they had shown me. I’m so happy with my choice and grateful for all their help.”

Gabriela · Brazil

NYU student · One-bedroom rental

“My friend and I had spent so much time speaking with agents who kept showing us apartments that didn’t fit what we wanted. This team listened and helped us find a two-bedroom apartment that worked for us. Everything was clear and transparent, and they kept us informed throughout. We’re so glad we found them and have already recommended them to friends.”

Nikki · India

Relocating for work · Two-bedroom rental

“I already knew New York, but buying a three-bedroom home for my family was a new experience. The team made the process smooth and efficient, explaining the negotiations and paperwork clearly at every stage. They were always kind and helpful. We’re very happy with our home and would gladly work with them again.”
