We specialize in maximizing exposure for sellers to get the highest price for their property. We do this through our signature 7-step marketing approach.
We are BKREA, a new commercial brokerage company for a new age. The world is changing rapidly. Our firm will continue to utilize old-school analog tools for mapping and data collection but will layer on cutting edge technologies to create better interpretations of the data and the market to give all of our clients an advantage. That edge will lead to more options and better results.
Technology is changing the world and the rate of change, particularly in the Artificial Intelligence arena, is advancing almost weekly. Media, and especially social media, is providing faster and faster access to a rapidly growing audience. A combination of being on the cutting edge of these profound changes and knowing how to best utilize them to advantage our clients based upon our vast experience, is creating a new way commercial investment sales brokerage is being done. We hope to be the leader in the implementation of this new way to do a business that has historically been very slow to adapt to a changing environment.
Bob Knakal has a history of brokering investment property sales since 1984 and, as of last week, has sold an astonishing 2,388 properties in the United States, generally considered to be the highest total for any individual broker ever in the city. Those sales total approximately $23.9 billion.

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!

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!
