Proven Results,
Real Stories

I have admired and respected Bob Knakal’s wide marketing approach which maximizes exposure and creates competitive bidding. He achieved a great result for us on this site.

Bob Knakal is the best building sales broker I have ever worked with - hands down. He was here showing our building almost every day. He found a great user for us. If you are going to sell a building in New York City - Bob is your man!

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 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

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.

When we and our partners decided the time was right to sell our Third Avenue site, we chose Bob, Clint Olsen and the whole team to represent us. There were many twists and turns along the way but they stuck by our side each step of the way and, in the end, the results they produced were outstanding for us. We would happily work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking to sell a property in New York City.

When we needed to select a broker for our sales, we wanted someone who understood the local market but could also access the overseas markets for potential buyers as well. Bob Knakal and his team had done work successfully for us in the past and was a great choice for us. 920 Broadway was an office building in need of repositioning and the 38th/39th Street assets could be upgraded for continued office use, could be converted to hotel, could be considered a development site or a hybrid of these potential uses. Bob and his team exposed these assets to a wide variety of buyer types, advised us constantly throughout the process and, ultimately, produced results we were very happy with.

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.

The team led by Bob Knakal did a superb job for us, culminating in a sale price exceeding our initial expectations.

I would not hesitate to utilize the resources of Bob Knakal again for future sales assignments.

Bob Knakal knows this neighborhood better than anyone. He found the perfect buyer for us. Bob, you are the best!

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!

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 decided to give Bob a shot and in a short period of time, he and his team produced results for us that exceeded our collective expectations.

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.

I had known Bob Knakal for many years since he would regularly be a speaker at Appraisal Institute real estate appraisal events. I was always very impressed with Bob’s knowledge of the New York City metropolitan investment sales market, so when it came time to select an investment sales broker to sell our family’s mixed-use building on Third Avenue, Bob was the first person that I thought of to assist us with the sale of our mixed use building. Bob and his team were incredibly professional and diligent in helping us to sell our asset. Selling a property during the Covid pandemic can prove to be very challenging so you need an experienced investment sales broker to help guide the process. Bob was able to get us the best possible sales price during these challenging times.

Bob Knakal was introduced to me by my attorney and I am so happy that the introduction was made.

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.

Bob and his team met, or exceeded, all of our expectations and we would be happy to recommend them to any other sellers.

We knew Bob Knakal by reputation but had never worked with him until we decided to sell our asset on East 91st Street. Bob laid out a very thorough marketing plan with the focus being on finding a user buyer who would occupy our property. Bob said that user would pay us a premium for the building over what an investor would pay. And he did just that. He brought us dozens of offers and ultimately found a user buyer who paid us a premium for the property. Bob lived up to his reputation and we recommend him to other sellers of properties in New York City.

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

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.

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.

I knew that I needed a broker who was expert in the development market and also understood the Bronx.

I was introduced to Bob Knakal by my attorney and I am so glad he made that introduction.

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.

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.

I could not be happier with the job Bob did representing me on this sale.

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.

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.

Few people are as knowledgeable about the marketplace as Bob Knakal. And that translates into the wisest deals and best execution possible.

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

It was a pleasure to work with Bob & Paul on this sale. They do exactly what they say they will and are highly responsive. We highly recommend them to any seller.

I have seen some innovative and creative approaches to overcoming problems on deals but Bob Knakal and his team really pulled a rabbit out of a hat on this one to get such a high price. Wow, what a job!

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.

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

There was only one broker who could have done this complicated deal for us. Bob Knakal and his team hit the ball out of the park for us with flawless execution.
