Ken Krasnow is back in New York as the new managing director of Massey Knakal Realty Services’ Brooklyn office, after serving as the COO of Apartment Realty Advisors Florida. Prior to his stint in Florida, Krasnow was an executive vice president at Trammell Crow, and also spent 18 years at Cushman & Wakefield, where he was the executive managing director and the New York-area leader.
“I’ve known Paul [Massey] and Bob [Knakal] for many years and always admired the focus of the firm,” Krasnow said. “They shared with me their strategic vision for the firm, opening up in New Jersey and looking in the tri-state area and beyond. Once I saw the strategic vision of the firm, it was a natural fit for me because what I like to do is help firms grow and develop their people and resources.”
Krasnow said his immediate priority is fortifying the Brooklyn offices by increasing revenue and transactions. He is also eyeing other ventures to further the company’s long-term plan of creating a national presence.
