Most prolific building sales broker in U.S. history — 2,391+ transactions closed totaling over $24 billion across a 42-year career in the most competitive real estate market in the world: New York City.
Founder of Massey Knakal Realty Services, which for 14 consecutive years sold more than 3x the number of properties as its closest competitor — a level of sustained market dominance never replicated in the U.S. The firm was sold for $100 million in 2014.
Former Chairman of Investment Sales at major global brokerage firms (2014–2024) before launching BKREA in 2024 — proving entrepreneurial agility after a decade inside large institutions.
Creator of The Knakal Map Room, built after walking every block of Manhattan during the pandemic — a proprietary, building-by-building intelligence platform integrating ownership, zoning, development pipeline, and transaction data to give clients a measurable strategic advantage.
Turned a high-profile career setback into a breakout entrepreneurial chapter, with BKREA closing 43 transactions totaling $1.78 billion in its first full year of operation.
Thrived through five major economic cycles, from the Savings & Loan Crisis to post-pandemic volatility — demonstrating disciplined adaptability over four decades.
Mentor to an unmatched generation of industry leaders, with 34 companies or divisions now owned or led by brokers trained under his leadership, and author of the best-selling 2024 book Selling Buildings.
