Herb Greenberg

Greenberg Family Trust

Bob Knakal has been our family’s trusted real estate advisor for many years. Whenever we wanted an update on the market, or had an issue with our building, Bob was always our first call. He provided sage advice and wisdom far beyond his years. Bob did an outstanding job for us in the sale of our building, making us feel like we were his only client. We could not give Bob a higher recommendation to anyone looking to sell a building in New York City. He is brilliant, savvy and the hardest working broker you will ever see.

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 Knakal and his team came highly recommended to us from several of our very best clients. Everything they told us about Bob was exactly right. He is hardworking, exhibits integrity and is an expert in his craft. He and his team did an outstanding job for us in the sale of our two buildings on East 39th Street.

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.

Matt Lembo

Principal / CIO, Stellar Management

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.

Andreas Brown

Gotham Book Mart

I initially thought selling my building would be easy. For years, everyone on the block would be calling me and telling men they wanted to purchase the property. I never realized how treacherous the commercial real estate market could be. After trying to sell by myself for several months, I decided I needed help and hired Bob Knakal to guide me through the sales process. I am so glad I did that. Bob helped me maneuver through these shark infested waters and led me to safety. The number of twists and turns that occurred were significant and Bob had an answer or strategic solution for every curveball that was thrown at us. I should have brought him on from the start. If you are considering the sale of a property in New York, you must call Bob. It will be the best move that you make.

Janet Shi

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.

My husband and I had been speaking to Bob Knakal three or four times per year for many years and he was always so helpful letting us know what was selling in the neighborhood and for how much. We live in Texas so having someone on the ground in NY to advise us was very reassuring. He really knew our neighborhood and we felt extremely comfortable hiring him to represent our property for sale. It was in our family for a long time and we didn’t want just anyone selling it for us. Bob did a wonderful job for us and got us a beautiful price. We were lucky to find Bob and are very grateful for his help.

Robert Hawks

The Cooper Union

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.

J. Yeoh N. Lee

Overseas-Chinese Banking Corp. LTD

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.

Jared Della Valle

Alloy Development

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.

Gary G. Terrinoni

The Brooklyn Hospital Center

We were dealing with a very complex set of issues. We had an existing site with significant buildable rights and the potential of rezoning our entire campus with additional sites providing for increased density. We also knew we needed to monetize some of the assets in the short term and the rezoning would have taken too long for us to meet our needs. Given Bob Knakal’s exceptional experience with development sites and his vast experience with non-profit organizations, we felt that Bob and his team were the perfect choice for us. Bob was our trusted advisor, guiding us thoughtfully through each step of the process and we could not be happier with the results he and his team produced for us. I highly recommend Bob and his team to any seller of a development site in New York City. You will have an advocate watching over you every step of the way. There is no one better than Bob and his team!

Extell Development

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.

Bob, on behalf of myself and the Board of American Jewish Congress, we would like to thank you for doing such a great job representing us on the sale of 15 East 84th Street. You told us from the start that a user buyer would be the optimal buyer for us and you were not only correct, but you found the perfect buyer for our building. Thanks again for a job extraordinarily well done!

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.

Bob Knakal and his team are the best of the best! They and their team helped the sellers of 920 Park navigate an uncertain market with their expertise, experience and unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the NYC multifamily market. Their ability to package, promote and shepherd the sales process from inception to closing is not only due to their skill and grasp of the market, but also their tremendous rolodex and tireless perseverance. They are available 24/7, make you feel as if you are their most important client, and have your back at all times. Because they work to protect your interests, every seller of NYC multifamily property should not hesitate to make them their first call.

Seller of 200 East 59th Street

Dov Hertz

Extell Development

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.

Susan Bear

Bob Knakal and his team implemented the marketing program for our property flawlessly.

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.

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!

Richard Kalikow

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 and his team once again showed how invaluable his participation in this transaction was. A consummate professional, Bob guided us through this process such that we discounted the buyers who could not perform and focused on those that had demonstrated the ability to close. If you are selling a large asset in New York City, you must speak to Bob Knakal and his team.

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.

Tom Farrell

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.

Bob Knakal and his team provided prompt comprehensive market analysis to establish the offering price, cast a wide net and brought all the interested buyers through the property in a timely manner. They managed a structured negotiation yielding what I believe was the highest value for my property. The inherent confidence, clarity and communication they provide by the very nature of how they implement their exclusive representation of sellers established a transparent relationship allowing for the agility needed to consummate a sale in today’s environment.

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!

This property had several challenging twists and turns given various easements and rights of way. We felt that given Bob Knakal’s tremendous track record in the sale of a wide array of development sites, he would clearly be able to express the issues to potential buyers and articulate mechanisms to address and overcome the issues. Bob and his team did just that, and we were very pleased by the results. We are happy to recommend Bob and his team to other potential 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.

Our site, while exceptionally well-located, had some challenges given the landmarked status of a portion of the old RKO Theater.

Our property was widely exposed to a wide arena of potential buyers and brokers resulting in a sales price that we were very pleased with. If you are selling a property I would highly recommend Bob and his team.

As the old commercial said - when he talks - I listen.

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.

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.

Jos Mittlemann

Empire Realty Group

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.

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.

I have been a friend and client of Bob Knakal’s since the establishment of Massey Knakal in 1988 and remain so these many years later. Bob’s straightforward and efficient representation, intuitive logic, cerebral process, and integrity are his hallmarks. In my opinion, these characteristics and traits allow me to feel privileged, comfortable, and happy doing, or discussing, business with Bob past, present and future.

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.

Our pricing expectations were admittedly aggressive, but Bob Knakal and his team convinced us that by maximizing the exposure of the site to a very broad market, that a first time or non-obvious buyer, large private equity firms partnered with new market players could be obtained who would pay us our price. The implementation of their program was flawless and provided us with tremendous leverage to use with the buyers they lined up. It was a fantastic execution of a proven system.

When we needed to sell 24 West 45th Street, we interviewed several brokerage firms. It would have been easy to go with one of the big national or global firms but we took a chance with Bob Knakal because his local market knowledge and his track record in the neighborhood. He did a fabulous job for us. No one could have done a better job for us. We suggest that any seller speak to Bob before selecting another broker.

Officer of 16 East 82nd Street Owner LLC

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.

When it was time to sell this asset, we suspected that a foreign buyer might be a good prospect for us. Bob Knakal and his team found us that foreign buyer. It was an outstanding result for us

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.

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.

Aby Rosen

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 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.

Gary Barnett

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 Brause

Brause Realty Inc.

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!

We have enjoyed a long-term relationship with Bob Knakal, Pat Yannotta and their team and have always found them highly professional and easy to work with. Our 153rd Street transaction was a complex one for a variety of reasons. Bob and Pat showed why they are considered among the top land brokers in the city. They provided steadfast counsel throughout the sales process and were there to advocate for us at every twist and turn and demonstrated, several times, that they would fight for our best interest. We highly recommend them to any seller of a development site in New York City.

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. The consistency and mental toughness you mentioned are exactly what drive sustainable success, especially in a demanding field like real estate. Your perspective is a great reminder that persistence really does win in the end. Would love to connect if you're open to it!

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.

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!"

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.

A masterclass in patience and strategy, Bob- love how you used silence to let the market compete against itself. Also, a great reminder of how creative thinking and control of the process can unlock so much more value than meets the eye. Congratulations on 41 years of deals (and stories) that keep inspiring the rest of us in the industry!

Max R.

This is beautiful. You can feel the gratitude in every word. Bob sounds like one of those rare people who's not just sharp in business, but grounded in values-and that balance is everything. And shoutout to you for showing up fully-faith, brand, heart. Moments like this aren't luck, they're alignment. Can't wait to see how you build from here.

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.

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.

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!

Barry Kampe

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joshua Ferrari

Ferrari Capital

Love this-shows how small, consistent effort builds credibility and opens doors in ways a big check never could.

Matthew Ochalski

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 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.

Jayton Taylor

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

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!

Salko Krijestorac

Atlantic Management Co

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.

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.

Marcy Moneypenny

The Moneypenny Collective

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!

Gabriel Craft
