Proven Results,
Real Stories

Most brokers do the minimum in terms of effort and expect very high fees. On the sale of my property, I gave Bob Knakal a second chance to represent me after the tremendous job he did for me on the sale of 969 Madison Avenue. Here he did the same great job and helped us get a fantastic price. Bob went above and beyond for me time and time again and I know he will be very successful in his career. All sellers should speak to Bob Knakal...he won’t let you down.

Bob Knakal represented us on several transactions and the results he produced for us on 25th Street were no different from the others. They were GREAT! Bob, thanks for all of the hard work on our behalf.

The team led by Bob Knakal did a superb job for us, culminating in a sale price exceeding our initial expectations. Throughout a time-consuming and tenuous process of getting the servicer to allow transfer of the existing mortgage to a new borrower, Bob’s team stayed on the case, resulting in a timely closing. As we have achieved in our prior experiences with Massey Knakal, we are very pleased with the results of this sales effort. I would not hesitate to utilize the resources of Bob Knakal again for future sales assignments.

We have done several deals with Bob Knakal and his team and each time they go above and beyond for us. If you are selling a development site in New York City, you must speak to Bob and his team.

When it was time to sell a unique property we owned on Amsterdam Avenue, we knew we needed a brokerage team that had a great reputation, an extensive track record, an understanding of the local marketplace and, importantly, had expertise in user property sales as we knew that a user buyer would lead to an optimal result for us. Bob Knakal and his team possessed all of these qualities. They created and implemented a marketing plan that exposed the property to the widest arena of potential buyers domestically and internationally. Their extensive list of user buyers for properties in New York City was a great resource to access potential user buyers. The team was highly communicative, did everything they said they would and produced an outstanding result for us. We highly recommend Bob and his team to anyone interested in selling a property in New York.

Bob Knakal and his team did a great job representing our interests in this transaction. There were hurdles to overcome but they never stopped pushing for the best deal possible and, ultimately, they were able to find a buyer who was willing to meet all of our objectives. Throughout the process, Bob was always available, seven days a week, to answer any questions and to guide our strategy. We are thrilled with the results.

Bob Knakal knows the market like the back of his hand. He is hard working and tenaciously pursued us to get this listing. We assumed he would work even harder to find a buyer and he did. We are extremely pleased with the job Bob Knakal did for us. He always put our interests ahead of his own and worked around the clock to find the perfect buyer for us.

Bob delivered everything we thought he would and we are so pleased with the job that he did for us. We look forward to working with him on other sales.

Many people told us to call Bob Knakal to represent us. It was uncanny how everyone we knew in real estate pointed us in the same direction. Everyone was right. Bob Knakal earns his stellar reputation every day. He achieved a price for us that was higher than we expected. All potential sellers should speak to Bob Knakal.

When we decided to market 29 Jay Street, we did a comprehensive survey of the top New York City brokers. In the end, we chose Bob Knakal and his team based on their track record in development sites and their marketing plan. It was clearly an important deal for Bob who remained on the front line with us in terms of communications, execution of the marketing plan, and negotiations. We were very pleased and would highly recommend Bob and his team to other sellers.

When it comes to development site sales in New York City, no one comes close to Bob Knakal. He is simply the best land broker in the market.

When we saw how much interest was being generated for land sites in the Hudson Yards, we decided we could realize a huge profit without the risk of building and deploy that capital into several other transactions. In order to maximize our price, we decided to retain Bob Knakal, Stephen Palmese and their team to develop a market strategy and implement a sales process. Bob’s intimate knowledge of the complexities of the district proved invaluable in our being able to achieve a record price in record time. We highly recommend their team to any potential sellers.

Bob Knakal and his team had just completed another sale transaction for us very successfully, so when it was time to sell our property on 85th Street, our choice of broker was not difficult. This property was a to-be-vacant school building so the user market was a primary group of potential buyers. Therefore, Bob’s long-time practice of proactively engaging with the brokerage community was something that really resonated with us. The marketing program implemented by Bob’s team produced many offers from users, several of whom were represented by outside brokers. We feel this approach produced maximum exposure for our asset and, ultimately, the highest possible price.

After another successful transaction with him in the neighborhood, we decided to give Bob the opportunity to compete for the assignment to sell our office building at 21 Penn Plaza. He and his team gave us a valuation that was tangibly higher than the other brokers we interviewed and also told us that the buyer would not be one of the typical buyers of this type of asset. The buyer did indeed fall into the non-typical category for this type of asset and the price Bob achieved for us was in excess of his valuation. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the execution we received here.

We really needed an advocate in our corner. Our advisors said Bob Knakal was the best man for the job. Bob protected us in every way and led us beautifully through a difficult process. He really was the best man for the job.

When we decided to sell our Third Avenue site, we thought getting Bob Knakal’s insights would be helpful given his significant track record on development site sales over many decades.

His involvement helped us achieve results that we were very pleased with and we recommend him to other sellers of land in New York City.

Bob Knakal and his team were able to find the right buyer for us within an extremely short time frame. Their knowledge of the local market and ability to reach the most logical parties very quickly enabled us to secure a sale that met all of the bank’s needs.

From the start of this project, we assumed the tenant on the ground floor would be the most logical buyer for a number of reasons but we just couldn’t get them to the fair price. Bob Knakal and his team implemented some very ingenious tactics in the marketing of this property and, ultimately, the tenant purchased the property but at a much more favorable price than was previously offered. Bob did a great job for us here.

When my partners and I wanted to sell our building, we knew this was not going to be an easy sale because of our desire to lease back the retail space for our business on a long-term basis. After meeting with Bob Knakal and his team, we were confident that he would be able to help us navigate this process, achieving a great solution for business while at the same time maximizing the results of our real estate transaction. Bob and his team met, or exceeded, all of our expectations and we would be happy to recommend them to any other sellers.

We have been been active in the Westchester office market for decades. Investors from New York City have always been great buyers for assets here. When it was time for us to sell 399 Knollwood, we retained Bob Knakal and his team to market the property to buyers in the city. They implemented a broadbased marketing program and ultimately, we sold the property to an investor with major holdings in the SoHo district in Manhattan. We were so pleased with the results that we already have Bob and his team representing us on another sale. These guys have a great track record, are hardworking and always keep a seller’s best interests in mind. I would be happy to recommend them to other potential sellers.

Along with his solid track record, Bob has a deep understanding of commercial real estate and is among the leading experts of our time.

Bob Knakal got a great price for us. If you are selling a property in NYC, you must call Bob.

We loved working with Bob Knakal on the sale of our 45th Street property. He knows the neighborhood cold and convinced us that a residential converter was the right buyer for our property. He found that user buyer and got us a great price.

I knew that I needed a broker who was expert in the development market and also understood the Bronx. After having interviewed several top tier firms, I decided Bob Knakal and his team were a great choice for us. Our site had several challenges and their advice and council was greatly appreciated throughout the process. I highly recommend Bob and his team to any seller of land in New York City. Bob and his team were instrumental in getting us Top Dollar for our site. I would happily work with them again.

Thanks for all your help and guidance throughout the years Bob. I appreciate your patience. You’re a good soul to put up with the various perspectives of our partnership group.

When we decided to sell 560 Seventh Avenue, we interviewed several of the top brokerage firms in town. All of the firms told us the value of the property was approximately $40 million. Bob Knakal and his sales team told us the site was worth $60 million. At first, we were skeptical but Bob was able to clearly articulate his methodology and we decided to go with him. As you can imagine, my Board and I are extremely pleased with our $62.3 million sales price. I highly recommend Bob and his team, and, in fact, we are already working on another transaction together.

For many years, Bob Knakal sent me market data on building sales in Manhattan. While I owned only one building, it was my family’s major asset and I was always interested in Bob’s market information and his views on the market. When it was time to sell, I was very concerned that brokers would only look at me as a one-shot deal and would favor the buyers who might be repeat customers. Bob made me feel like I was his only client, was very responsive and communicative and I felt like he was constantly thinking about what was best for me - not him and the buyer. I couldn’t give anyone a higher recommendation than Bob Knakal and his team.

I am not a real estate professional so when it became time to sell my building, I wanted someone I could trust and who was a nice person. Bob Knakal sent me real estate market information for years and would call me all the time without pestering me so when I decided to sell my building, I didn’t even talk to anyone else. If you want a broker who is highly capable, works very hard and is an extraordinarily nice person, then Bob is your man!

When our family was considering the sale of our building, we knew we needed a trusted advisor to assist us with the process as none of us were full time real estate professionals. We interviewed several brokers and Bob Knakal and his team stood out to us as professionals who had a great track record, had represented many families like ours and exhibited tremendous enthusiasm about the potential of helping us. They laid out a comprehensive marketing plan for our property and followed through on all of their promises. Bob and his team went the extra mile to help us achieve our objectives. We highly recommend Bob and his team to anyone considering the sale of a property in New York City.

I am a restaurant guy, and my father was a restaurant guy. My dad bought the building we operated out of but we really didn’t know a lot about real estate. When it was time to sell the building, I called Bob Knakal who was sending me market information for years and it seemed like he sold all the buildings in my neighborhood. I chose Bob to help me and he did a remarkable job. He had my back every step of the way. Bob, thank you! You helped my family more than you will ever know. If you’re selling a property in New York City, you’re crazy not to use Bob Knakal.

Bob Knakal is a true professional. He worked tirelessly for us and did everything he could to bring buyers to my building. Only the right buyer would be able to see what was done to the property and appreciate it. Bob appreciated it and was able to convey how special this building is to buyers. I could not be happier with the job Bob did representing me on this sale.

When it was time for us to sell 130 William Street, market conditions were not ideal and I needed a broker who I knew would go above and beyond to get the job done for me. Bob Knakal and his team were the right choice for this assignment. The property was vacant and we had several potential buyers including user groups and aggressive investors. Throughout the process, it was clear that Bob was keeping our best interests in mind every step of the way and made sure that we received our marketing reports every week. We were extremely pleased with the job Bob and his team did and look forward to our next transaction together.

Bob Knakal has closed many high profile deals for us. This one was fast and at a great price for us.

This deal was not easy to get done. I am so happy I hired Bob Knakal and his team to represent me here. They were relentless in the pursuit of the perfect buyer for me.

We were unclear as to whether we were going to sell or recapitalize and restructure our partnership. To decide which direction we were going to go in, we needed to determine the fair market value of our site. Bob and his team described the marketing process that they would use to maximize the exposure of our property to get it to the largest possible audience of buyers. Within a short period of time, we had a number of qualified buyers bidding on the property. Bob came through for us just as he said he would. We highly recommend Bob and his team.

When our board decided it was time to sell our building, we set out to interview several brokers and brokerage firms. We did just that and interviewed seven firms. All of our board members were immediately impressed with Bob Knakal’s encyclopedic knowledge of all the comparable sales. It was not surprising given he was the broker on more than half of them. Bob was straightforward, exuded confidence - but humility, and was so enthusiastic about this opportunity. It was an easy choice to select him as our broker. The marketing program went perfectly. We had potential buyers coming to the property almost every day and Bob got us a total of 46 offers for our building. We could not be more pleased with the results. Bob is the best!

We had owned our properties for generations and the decision to sell was not an easy one. Our family needed some professional help with the sales process and Bob Knakal and his team were the perfect choice for us. They held our hands each step along the way and produced an absolutely outstanding price for us. We could not have been happier with the service they provided.

Bob, thanks for all of your hard work on our behalf. We couldn’t have done this without you!

Bob you’re one of a kind! Thank you for all you have contributed to the commercial real estate industry.

We have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Bob Knakal and his team. They did a great job for us.

Bob Knakal had sold several assets for me previously and when it was time to sell 1176 Second Avenue, I knew the transaction was not going to be easy and knew exactly who I was going to have sell it for me. This three story retail condo was mostly below grade with two levels below the small space at street level. The space sat vacant for many years and we decided it was time to sell it. Bob told us that the likely buyer was a user and, more specifically, a user from the decorator & design industry given the predominance of these tenants in the neighborhood. Bob called on every one of those tenants and found the perfect user buyer for me. What can I say, he hit the ball out of the park for me on this very difficult transaction. I highly recommend Bob to anyone looking for flawless execution of a marketing process.

Bob Knakal and his team did a masterful job maximizing our sale price on 44th Street. I highly recommend him to other sellers.

Unfortunately, this sale was more challenging than expected. I didn’t fully appreciate it until we got into the sales process how much of a turn-off the condition, location and legal problems would be. Under those circumstances, I think your team did an excellent job of finding a highly credible buyer for our loan at a very good price. Thanks again for your persistence and hard work on this transaction.

Bob Knakal sold 235 East 58th Street to me so when I wanted to sell it, he was the natural choice. That, coupled with the fact that he has sold several buildings on the block recently, gave me a lot of confidence. Bob worked hard to find a user buyer who paid me a great price. I am very happy with the results.

Bob, thanks for doing such a great job for us. We couldn’t be happier with the results you produced

We have worked with Bob Knakal for many years on several transactions and he is one of our go-to investment sales brokers. 4 East 39th Street was a perfect building for a user and no one knows the user market in Midtown better than Bob. Bob and his team did a great job for us on this sale.

Bob Knakal is always our choice when we want to go broadly to the market. He has the ability to extract the last dollar from the market and positions the assets in its best possible light to maximize the price. I highly recommend Bob and his team to anyone who wants to get top dollar for their property.

I was introduced to Bob Knakal by my attorney and I am so glad he made that introduction. When we retained Bob to sell 199 Bowery, we were confident that we made the right choice and the results of the assignment proved that we were right. Bob worked tirelessly on our behalf, working seven days a week to get the job done for us. You simply won’t find anyone that will work harder for you than Bob Knakal.

We have enjoyed a long-term relationship with Bob Knakal and his team. When we were considering the sale of our retail condo at 85 Fifth Avenue, we felt Bob would be able to expose the asset to a large and diversified field of potential buyers from across the globe. We were very impressed with the wide array of interested prospects that the team developed. All of that competition led to a very favorable result for us. We are happy to recommend Bob and his team to other potential sellers.

Our relationship with Bob goes back prior to the inception of Massey Knakal. The years have gone by and the degree of sophistication and excellence Bob and his team have demonstrated gives them an extensive global platform. Bob has demonstrated the ability not only to access buyers in the local market but also to access buyers from around the world. He is a wonderful psychiatrist and chess player as he encourages the parties to come to agreement, regardless of the hurdles every deal faces. When it came time to sell, our partnership chose Bob for those obvious reasons. During the marketing process, as expected, we received offers from a wide array of potential buyers. Ultimately, the activity that Bob and his team generated created a bidding war and, ultimately, an outstanding price for us. It was a job extremely well done!

This property was an important part of our organization for many decades. I needed an agent who knew the local market and could hold our hand throughout the process. We trusted Bob right from the start and he didn’t let us down. We are happy to provide Bob with our highest recommendation. He won’t let you down!

We have always enjoyed a great relationship with Bob Knakal and his team. Bob has been a great friend to the bank and his performance on the sale of 5 Hanover was outstanding.

Given the complexities of our situation, we needed a broker who could strategize and implement a program in a multi dimensional way. Bob Knakal and his team were the perfect choice for this assignment. They were able to move down two different, but parallel paths simultaneously and provided us with many options to consider. We were extremely pleased with our results and would gladly recommend Bob and his team to any other potential seller in New York City.

The best decision made was to bring in Bob Knakal and his team to represent us in this sale. Bob’s insights were remarkably spot on and his handling of all aspects were professional from start to finish. My thanks to Bob and his entire team. And as the final acid test, the financial results were literally better than we could have expected and certainly “above market,” to the extent such a term can be applied to a closed transaction. We would be happy to give our highest recommendation to other potential sellers.

When we decided to go to market with 123 Lafayette, we knew that we needed to hire an advisor that had the unique ability to reach every sector of the investor audience in order to achieve our target pricing. We hired Bob Knakal and his team because of their specific experience with similar properties and their proficiency for reaching all local, foreign, institutional, and high net-worth investors. This coupled with their customized marketing program produced incredible execution and a sales price that allowed us to more than triple our original investment. I would absolutely hire Bob and his team again and would urge anyone with a similar asset to do so.

Given the proximity of our site to the core Midtown Plaza District, we suspected that a foreign based developer would be the most likely buyer. Based upon this, we felt that Bob Knakal, and his team, would be able to access this segment of the market. This along with extensive track record selling development sites in New York City made Bob an easy choice for the assignment. As expected, Bob was able to identify a foreign developer to purchase our site. We are very pleased with the results.

We wanted to find a buyer who believed in the development potential of our property. Bob Knakal and his team found the perfect buyer for our site and we could not be happier with the results. We highly recommend him to the sellers of any property in New York City. They are the best in the business.

Bob Knakal and his team did exactly what they said they would and got us the price they told us they would. It was more than we expected. Any seller of land in New York City should contact him.

I knew we needed a broker who was an expert in the sale of development sites and who could access the broadest arena of buyers in the marketplace. Bob Knakal and his team did just that. We were really surprised by how many offers we received and were so pleased by how hard the team worked on our behalf. I was also happy with the responsiveness of the team. My calls were returned very timely and I felt like the team was there for me every step of the way. I give Bob and his team my highest recommendation.

Bob Knakal and his team really hit the ball out of the park for us on this transaction. They were able to generate dozens of offers from a variety of different types of buyers, including investors from overseas. Additionally, they stayed on top of the marketing process every step of the way from due diligence to contract signing to closing. Ultimately, we sold the property at a level above what we had expected. We would happily recommend Bob and his team to other potential sellers.

Our six-building assemblage on West Broadway with diverse tenancies created a marketing challenge. Given the complexity, we felt that Bob Knakal’s vast experience with all types of development sites would have a very positive impact on our marketing process. Bob and his team lived up to their reputation getting us the price we wanted in a timely manner.

Bob Knakal and his sales team achieved a pricing level which was above and beyond our expectations. They secured worldwide attention by positioning this site as the most significant in the marketplace. Their creative approach led to a smooth and successful close.

Our properties were admittedly in terrible condition and were in a challenging location. Notwithstanding these hurdles, Bob Knakal and his team did a fantastic job for us. I have never seen brokers work so hard. I felt like I was Bob’s only client. I could not be happier with the effort or the results

We have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Bob Knakal and his team. They did a great job for us.

Our school had several assets to sell as we wanted to take advantage of the real estate market to raise funds to expand our educational mission. We identified several assets that we were interested in selling. Given his stellar track record, we asked Bob Knakal to take a look at all of the assets and provide his opinion of value and strategic insights about what should be sold now and what we should wait to sell. We were not expecting a broker to tell us not to sell some assets now, but that’s what Bob did. Those that he suggested we sell, we agreed with and Bob and his team did a great job for us finding perfect buyers for each of our properties. We highly recommend Bob and his team to sellers of properties in New York.

When I met Bob Knakal I was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the neighborhood and enthusiasm for my property. Bob had to overcome many obstacles here and work his tail off day after day and week after week to get me my price. He told me that a user would be the best buyer for me and he found a perfect user. I give Bob Knakal my highest recommendation to any seller looking for a real broker to tenaciously fight for their best interests.

Bob, you and your team did an incredible job selling our buildings. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate your thoughtful advice, insightful strategy and flawless execution of the marketing process. You guys were the perfect choice for us and we could not be happier.

Thanks Bob. It’s always a pleasure working with you and your team. You have the patience of a saint. We look forward to closing more deals together when the time is right. Hopefully sooner than later.

If you are selling a large asset in New York City, you must speak to Bob Knakal and his team.

Bob Knakal did an outstanding job for me on this sale. For many years, Bob called me regularly with market information as well as updates about what was happening in my neighborhood. He was relentless, but polite, in his pursuit of me. I felt he would behave the same way while working for a buyer - he didn’t let me down. I have no doubt I received the highest possible price.

I rarely give testimonials like this, but I have admired Bob Knakal for many years. He did a fantastic job for us on our 56th Street development site and we would be happy to work with him again. Bob really knows what he is doing.

When it was time to sell our retail assets, a friend suggested that I reach out to Bob Knakal and his team to run a marketing process for us. I’m glad we did that. Bob and his team have worked relentlessly for us turning over every stone to find us the perfect buyer. He said they would proactively engage with the brokerage community and did just that. Ultimately, the buyer came through another broker and Bob and his team pushed that transaction just as hard as if it was a direct deal. They kept our best interests in mind every step of the way and it was a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend them to other sellers of assets in New York City.

Bob Knakal did a great job for us selling the building at 256 West 52nd Street. The building was in terrible shape but, because it was vacant, Bob felt a user buyer would be the best buyer and - in fact - in our first meeting told us a restaurant operator would purchase the property. After an exhaustive marketing program, the highest offer we received was from a restaurant operator just as Bob predicted months earlier. We look forward to doing more business with Bob.

This site has redevelopment potential for the main building and development potential for the yard. Bob and his team found a great buyer for us. They did everything by the book. We highly recommend them.

Bob and his team did a great job helping us bring this very difficult transaction to a close. Through their comprehensive marketing, they were able to identify a very unlikely purchaser who performed as they said they would on the transaction within an extremely tight timeframe. I would happily work with Bob and his team again and highly recommend him to other sellers.

Bob Knakal has always been one of my go-to brokers for property sales in New York. No one knows the market better and is, frankly, more likeable. I have truly enjoyed my relationship with Bob over the years and I am always impressed with the results he produces for me. I can’t buy anything from him because the prices he gets are always too high for me but whenever I want to sell something, he is always on the short list. No seller will ever make a mistake by working with Bob Knakal.

Bob Knakal called me for years about this site. When it was time to sell, who else was I going to call? Bob is a true professional.

Bob Knakal is one of our go-to guys in NYC. He is truly one of the best in the business!

When it comes to development site sales, its tough to top Bob Knakal and his team. They did a great job for us on the sale of 120-122 Water Street. We highly recommend Bob and his team.

We felt it was time to sell our site on Second Avenue and we were told Bob Knakal and his team would do a great job for us. We interviewed them and their track record spoke for itself. We retained them and it was clear that there were a number of issues with our site that were out of the ordinary. Bob and his team did everything anyone could have to get as many buyers from around the globe interested in our property and in the end they found a Chinese buyer who paid the highest price. We highly recommend them to other sellers in New York City.

When a deal is being quarterbacked by Knakal, you can have confidence that it will get done both technically and ethically.

Bob Knakal has advised the United Methodist City Society, a religious based multifaceted program agency, on a significant amount of our real estate issues and dispositions over the years. We turned to Bob and his team as a trusted advisor because we have found them to know the entire NYC market better than any other broker; they have been completely trustworthy; and because of their unique ability to push pricing for us through their broad and structured bid process. For the sale at 450 Warren, a former church property, Bob and his team were able to achieve a price that was almost 20% higher than what we had originally considered on a direct basis from another developer. We could not be happier with the results and are thrilled with the outcome on behalf of the church.
