From DMs to Real Life: Bob Knakal

Most people here talk crypto.
I talk real estate.

But if you know NYC real estate, you know Bob Knakal.

2,300+ buildings sold.
$22B+ closed.
The GOAT broker in the city — no question.

Met him on a flight to Florida. Saw him again speaking on a panel, then his book launch. Every time: super present, humble, sharp.

Grateful for the connection.
Next goal: a meeting in the legendary Map Room.

From DMs to Real Life is my weekly mission to turn one online convo into a real-life one.
Let’s keep making it real.

What’s one thing you learned from him that stuck with you?

Alaska Grown. Mother of 6 wonderful, crazy-cool kids! Living in Colorado thus far. /parksrec /dv /degen

Booming. My highest deal was a mini mall for 2.1 million at 22 years old. I held the highest stats on the peninsula for two months and was the youngest agent at the time in Alaska. Not enough homes for the amount of loan applications. Definitely a sellers market right now in Kenai. My house has increaed significantly in the past year easy over 100k.
I worked for Keller Williams, Matt Dimick owns the anchorage office. I still have all my connections of course. If you’re on Facebook, start adding the Alaska agents! They might have leads to send and vice versa. 

Kenai has signed a huge billion dollar deal for the LNG pipeline with Japan. We were warned our town is going to increase in houses and people. It’s very new still so any real estate agents, this is their time!

Hahaha yessir!
How’s the real estate in Alaska ?

Got my real estate license in Alaska when I was 22. ;) Not practicing anymore. Way too many kids. 🤣
Now if I need a place in NYC, I know who to contact!

Admittedly, this is something I need to work on.

My clinical depression and crippling social anxiety make this really difficult sometimes.

Always striving to be 1% better every day, though.

Posting my journey to grow mentally, emotionally, and be healthy.

That’s an interesting way to go. I’m slowly making a decision to move on from my Assistant Branch Manager job, we will see what happens.

Let’s connect then! 

I always loved real estate, and cold called a bunch of companies for a job :)

How did you get into the real estate business?

Just curious.  I do an okay amount of lending, (I do some in New York) but always wondered what the real estate world is like.

A step at a time. Cheers to being real et genuinely doing what we love 🥂

Super inspiring! Turning digital connections into real-life relationships — especially with legends like Bob — is seriously powerful. Wishing you luck with the Map Room meeting!
