Blake is a distinguished real estate broker with a unique perspective stemming from his deep roots in the senior living industry. As a third-generation senior living operator, he grew up immersed in the operational side of the business, inheriting a wealth of knowledge and a profound understanding of the intricacies of senior living.

His hero & grandfather Ron Knutson developed several retirement communities with some of the pioneers in the industry. This inspired several family members including his parents to open their own assisted living in 1994. Growing up, Blake regularly ran the halls in his diapers & was a frequent bingo champion. Watching his parents serve residents exceptionally over the years created the very foundation for his motivation to serve in a different capacity.

Seven years ago, Blake decided to leverage his unique background by transitioning into the brokerage side of the business. Since making this move, he has made significant strides, successfully closing 25 deals totaling over $150 million in transaction volume.

His substantial operational experience, coupled with his natural knack for brokerage, allows him to provide an unparalleled level of service to his clients. Blake’s negotiating skills and strategic insight are demonstrated by his track record.

Clients value his unique ability to anticipate challenges, navigate complex transactions, and deliver results.
