Bob Knakal and his team did a wonderful job for me on the sale of 241 East 51st Street.

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.

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.

Danny Fishman and Dave Kusy

Gaia Real Estate

When we decided to sell our site on 52nd Street, we knew we wanted a brokerage team with development site experience as well as granular knowledge of the neighborhood as the zoning is a bit complex here. When we interviewed Bob Knakal and his team, we immediately felt confident in their ability to get us the best price possible. We had done other transactions with Bob and his team previously and were aware of their track record in land transactions as well as their broad marketing program to maximize exposure. They did everything they said they would and produced great results for us. We highly recommend Bob and his team to any seller in New York City.

Dan Duhl

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.

Seller of 200 East 59th Street

Eliba Levine

My father purchased our building many years ago and it has been a very important part of our family for decades. I never would have entrusted the sale to just any broker. Bob Knakal was the only broker I spoke to. For years he sent me reports on the market here and he called me all the time. His knowledge of the market is unparalleled and his passion for the business is obvious. Bob did an absolutely outstanding job for me on the sale of my building and I highly recommend him to anyone else that wants to sell a building in New York City and achieve spectacular results.

Peter Helt

Bank of New York Mellon

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.

When it came time for us to sell 330 East 63rd Street, there was simply no one better than Bob Knakal to lead the initiative on our behalf. Bob and his team delivered in every sense, period!

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.

Savanna Partners

Given that this transaction was time sensitive with a definitive timetable, we needed a powerful team to fully market our property, obtain offers, create a competitive bidding environment and get a buyer who could close within our deadline. Bob Knakal and his team were the perfect choice for this assignment. They did everything they said they would do and the execution didn’t miss a beat. This was the third property Savanna has sold with Bob over the past couple of years and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

David Mammen

Institute of Public Administration

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!

Nick Bienstock

Savanna Partners

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 could not give Bob Knakal a higher recommendation. We knew that a sale of our property at 48-50 West 74th Street was necessary and it was of utmost importance to us that we received the highest possible price as every single dollar was meaningful to us in order to continue our various missions. Bob led the process expertly - working diligently every day to find the perfect buyer for us. We are so happy that the new owners are going to operate a school out of the building. A seller of a building in New York City will never make a mistake working with Bob Knakal.

Dan Blum

The Blum Family

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.

Seller of 200 East 59th Street

Eli Albert

I didn’t know Bob Knakal before this transaction. He was referred by a friend as someone who knew the neighborhood better than anyone else and that could run a sales process that would get the property broad exposure and the highest price. My friend was right. Bob did a fantastic job and I would happily work with him again.

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.

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.

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 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 was introduced to me by my attorney and I am so happy that the introduction was made. I have enjoyed my relationship with Bob for several years and have always found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the New York City market and has been a great resource for accessing available properties for sale. When it was time to sell 16 East 82nd Street, it was an easy choice to select Bob and his team. He did a great job finding a user buyer for the property even though we thought the odds were not good that we would find one. If you are selling a building in New York City and want to make sure you get the best possible price, Bob Knakal is your man. We give him our highest recommendation.

Our development site on 24th Street had a number of twists and turns and, once again, Bob Knakal and his team came through for us. Understanding the intricacies of the zoning code is something not many brokers can claim but Bob gets it. This was another job well done by Bob and his team on our behalf.

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 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.

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.

We highly recommend Bob to any seller in New York.

The Van Alen Institute, a 125-year-old design not-for-profit, owned 30 West 22nd Street for many years when we decided it was time to rebalance our portfolio to advance our mission. We wanted to retain a team who not only understood the local marketplace but also had a great track record. Although our property could not be delivered completely vacant upon sale, the leases were relatively short term and we wanted a team that could target user buyers with accuracy. Bob Knakal and Stephen Palmese were the perfect choice for this assignment given their extensive track record with not for profits and on transactions of this kind. The marketing approach was clear and the results undeniable. Bob and Stephen helped the Van Alen Institute rebalance our portfolio thereby enabling us to invest in creating more equitable cities through inclusive design.

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 is my ‘go-to’ commercial real estate sales broker. I can always count on him to come through for me.

We thank Bob Knakal for all his hard work, diligence, honesty and integrity in brokering the sale of 1205-1225 Broadway. This is the second such transaction effectuated by Bob for us and, if such services are needed in the future, we will not look anywhere else but Bob Knakal.

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.

Extell Development

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.

David Lowenfeld

World Wide Group

We had assembled this world class site over many years through a disciplined acquisition process. When we decided to sell it, we decided to do so through a similarly disciplined disposition process. We selected Bob Knakal and his team because we were convinced that they could achieve full value and a smooth closing. We were impressed with their ability to get the asset in front of a broad audience of qualified buyers, to quickly identify the lead candidates, and to efficiently advance the deal from conceptual agreement to closing. We would be happy to work with Bob and his colleagues again.

Article 17 Trust

When it became time to sell our fee position, we looked very carefully and thoroughly for the perfect broker. We wanted a completely honorable person, who communicated well, was available, smart, connected and would work extremely hard on our behalf. We wanted someone who could reach potential buyers outside of the US and yet knew the local market and buyers inside out. Sadly, our ownership structure presented various challenges and we knew we needed a representative who could maneuver effectively with all stakeholders in this transaction and who understood complex business, tax and legal structures. After talking with a number of significant buyers and sellers in NYC and interviewing more than 10 final candidates we chose Bob Knakal and his team – and they met or exceeded our expectations in every category. Bob navigated a complicated process with intelligent (and intuitive) strategies and advice, maintaining integrity throughout the process. He remained consistently aligned with our best interest but also told us what was unreasonable or wouldn’t work and we were thrilled with the results. We got a deal that far exceeded all the original estimates and predictions and we only got it because of Bob’s wisdom, patience, interpersonal skills, incredible hard work and knowledge of all the players in the NY market. We are happy to provide any potential seller with our highest recommendation of Bob and his team.

Seller of 200 East 59th Street

David Cohen

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.

Richard Kalikow

Manchester Real Estate

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 sold the property to me so it was only fitting that I have him sell it for me. Bob and his team did a fantastic job of getting me the highest possible price.

Kas Sanandaji

Apex Investments

We made the decision to retain Bob Knakal and his team based on their track record for achieving record development site pricing. This transaction was fairly complex, involving tenant litigation and challenging zoning issues that necessitated a non-traditional deal structure. In turn, this could have really harmed our sale pricing. In spite of the challenges, Bob and his team did an excellent job talking purchasers through the potential issues and were instrumental in bringing about a fantastic result. Overall, we were thrilled with their team’s execution and would certainly look to use their team again.

Seller of 200 East 59th Street

Dr. Adele Canale

When I was selecting a broker to represent me, Bob Knakal’s track record really stood out. It felt like he sold every building in the neighborhood. Bob did a great job for me on the sale and found a user to purchase the property, just as he said he would. I highly recommend him to other sellers.

Seller of 200 East 59th Street

James Grafstein

Grafstein Antiques

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.

So cool Bob. Go BKREA - BK Real Estate Advisors. To echo some of the other comments here. Your content is awesome, and your creativity speaks volumes to your potential clients on here. Even my mother-in-law walked into my home office and asked me the other day who is that guy on your wall? I said he is the GOAT!

Duane Burress Sr.

I've sat in Bob's office on multiple days and watched him call every single person he needed to, instantly. He wasn't Googling their numbers or asking for help. Every call had purpose, and watching that changed everything for me.

Hi Bob, I've been following you and continue to be inspired by your success and longevity in the business. It's especially impressive how you've embraced new technologies and techniques to stay at the forefront of the industry. I'd appreciate the opportunity to connect here on Linkedin. Best regards, Darren

Kyle Eden

One question that I have for all the brokers - once you get the listing, what is your strategy to market a property over the long haul. Some of the listings and buildings don't sell promptly, What do you do that sets you apart from the others to make sure that your property stays top of mind!

Dottie Herman

Love this-Bob's story is a masterclass in relentless consistency, proving that decades of disciplined effort beat flashes of brilliance every time Yonah Weiss.

Richard Sackmann

Harbor Properties International LLC

I've always known Bob Knakal was one of the greats in NYC real estate. But since commercial deals haven't been my world, he wasn't on my radar until recently. I started following him about a month ago and quickly realized why he's in a league of his own. What's impressed me most isn't just the wins (though there are plenty), but his willingness to share the losses and the lessons behind them. I'm sure part of it is smart marketing-and it's working. If I were selling a building, I'd start (and probably end) with Bob.

Ron Koenigsberg

American Investment Properties

Nobody deserves this recognition more than Bob. He's not just the GOAT in commercial real estate, he's also one of the most generous and disciplined people I've ever met. Watching how he prepares, how he connects, how he shows up has been a masterclass for anyone lucky enough to work with him.

Zack Rapaport

Meerkat Companies

I got to hang out with the legendary Bob Knakal the other night at an event. His company BKREA - BK Real Estate Advisors was cohosting the event. This guy is inimitable. The amount that he's accomplished in his career is incredible and while we focus on different areas of the real estate business, he's absolutely an inspiration for me. He's also a truly genuine person. While we were chatting, I let him know it was "one of those weeks" and he told me (while pantomiming a sledgehammer, mind you!) "just keep hitting the stone...one day it'll break". That was all I needed to hear. Sometimes it really is just raw persistence that gets you through to the other side. Thanks Bob for your time and for the signed copy of your book! Starting it soon and excited to share tidbits from that on here as well. Hope we cross paths again soon.

Bob Knakal One day, I will bore you with how important your social media videos have been for me during my journey over the last 4 years as a private equity real estate fund manager. Thank you so much for being such a inspirational leader within our industry in NYC.

I will be there and I do want to hob (k)nob with Bob! His stories are so interesting and he is just an inspiring human being. Being around positive and creative and kind people, like @BobKnakal is so uplifting. I cannot wait!

Bob Knakal I love how you honor the people who have launched their own ventures. I've never seen it before in our industry. We are all very familiar with the more customary reaction when teammates move on... Another reason why you are a legend and your impact to our industry is unmatched.

Adding fuel to the inner fire - The last few weeks have been packed with action. I wrapped up the CCIM/C5 Global Summit, where some of the best and brightest in CRE gathered in Chicago. During the summit, I toured one of five multi-story industrial facilities in the United States. A reminder that our industry never stops evolving. I also met Bob Knakal, a titan of commercial real estate. Five minutes with him felt like decades of repetition distilled into one conversation. Discipline, data, and showing up everyday. That's how he built his career, and that's how I'll build mine. I can hear him in my head- "keep on going, keep on growing!"

Building the market data seems overwhelming but with technology today it is possible. I think the most profound observation is how Bob was alway trying to add value for his prospects, clients, and staff. In doing that he created some great strategies.

This was one of my favorite episodes. Bob Knakal is a great storyteller. I never get tired of hearing him talk about his COVID project that led to the infamous Map Room. I greatly admire businesspeople who build success from the ground up then commit themselves to reaching back a hand to those coming up behind them. Thanks, Tina Lichens for highlighting a few "Knakal nuggets" here.

Great insights Yonah Weiss and the book is a great read too. But my biggest take is that you can be a super nice guy like Bob Knakal and still be super successful in this cutthroat business of CRE brokerage. Bob autographed his book for me in Miami and when I met Bob, I was excited as if I was meeting a celebrity. For me, Bob is a celebrity in our CRE world.

I have never been there, but from what I've read, the Knakal Map Room seems to embody both scholarship and street-level knowledge - a fusion of history, geography, and market intelligence that few cities or professionals can match. As The New York Times quoted Bob Knakal: "It's not really the real estate business, it's the information business." If data is the most valuable resource in business, then in NYC's CRE world, that resource is the Knakal Map Room.

Bob Knakal This comment beautifully illustrates the profound impact of mentorship and the multiplier effect of investing in people. The fact that 31 companies or divisions are now led by those who learned the business at Massey Knakal speaks volumes about the quality of your leadership and the lasting influence you've had. Shifting the focus from personal achievements to the success of those you've mentored highlights a truly selfless and impactful. approach to your profession. Your excitement about guiding a new generation is inspiring and underscores the cyclical nature of growth and leadership. What a remarkable and meaningful legacy to have built.

I am starstruck. I just think Bob Knakal hung the moon. Not only do I respect his work ethic and his creativity, but his kindness and willingness to talk to people and share immense wisdom are a gift. If you wish to aspire to be a great leader, follow and mimic Bob's style. He is just incredible. I truly hope you consider attending the #CREiSummit and have the bonus of meeting Bob Knakal. I am so looking forward to it.

First of all, congratulations on 41 years, Bob. I don't know if younger professionals in CRE can look past the number of years and fully understand the cycles, the trends and the pivots you've made in your career. It's a lot of hard work, dedication and stamina to remain successful and relevant in our industry. Congratulations AGAIN!

Have you jumped on any of the Bob Knakal and Rod Santomassimo (World's Top CRE Coach) Selling Buildings Book Club calls? They're so good-the additional insight is gold. I could listen to those two pros for hours. I was just in NYC last week, and those residential towers along Billionaires' Row... wow! Since you secured the permits for the tallest building in LA, I'd love to get your take on them. I had to walk up to the base of Central Park Tower on 57th and look straight up—amazing and a little terrifying at the same time.

This is a powerful reflection on building an empire through hustle, consistency, and grit, proving that merit still wins. The story of Massey Knakal selling over 4,000 buildings against major giants is a testament to the power of focusing on "micro-wins" every single day. That culture of relentless "hustle" and consistency, however, is exceptionally difficult to sustain manually as a team scales. In today's market, the successful execution of those daily "micro-wins" relies heavily on efficient systemization.

Thank you Bob for the shout out. Even back in your early years it was evident you would rise to the top. You and Paul had a special chemistry and work ethic that enabled your early success. It is a small world/business indeed and I still advise all young brokers that I cross paths with to follow you on LinkedIn. Kudos on your best selling book and much continued success my dear friend. Be well till we have breakfast again on my next trip to NYC.

Bob, I started following you on Linkedin and had not realized you had written a book. I was pleasantly surprised to see you had just written a book, bought it and am almost done with it! I think your genuineness around your success is fantastic. I appreciate the honesty, outline of your commitment to strategy and processes, and the outline of corresponding challenges and successes is FANTASTIC. I am at an important juncture in my career/life, and I am using your book as a template for my next steps. I am on the CRE PE side (early start up), and oversee our NC/SC market. I would love to talk more, and understand you are super busy, but would love some time to talk. My number is 828.280.1167, and would appreciate a call whenever convenient. I really want to "pick your brain"...at your convenience of course. Tank you so much and keep putting out content!!

VANDERVERT DEVELOPMENTS, L.L.C.

This resonates deeply, Bob Knakal. Early in my career, I thought my value would be measured by how many leases I negotiated or how well I cut expenses. But over time, I've realized: the real win in property management is the people-vendors who grow with you, tenants who trust you, and junior team members who become operators themselves. Deals come and go. Culture and mentorship? That's what lasts. Appreciate you setting the bar for what legacy looks like in CRE. #Commercial RealEstate #CRELeadership #Legacy OverTransactions #PropertyManagement

Your mindset is truly inspiring. Setting big goals and staying disciplined through the ups and downs is what separates long-term achievers from everyone else.
