As the #1 selling real estate broker in North America for an unprecedented eight times, Dolly Lenz is responsible for achievements such as the sale of the Setai development site at 400 Fifth Avenue for over $200 million. She set a record for the highest downtown condominium sale of the One Madison penthouse for $57,350,000, representing Rupert Murdoch in the purchase; and many more. Her numerous accolades continuously place her at the top of the real estate industry in New York and the United States.

Jenny Lenz joined her mother at Dolly Lenz Real Estate and has since become the company's Managing Partner. Her passion for the business started at an early age as she was exposed to some of the most breathtaking properties in the world, accompanying her mother on business trips to Europe and Asia. Today, she is looking to continue in Dolly’s pursuit of taking on and dominating the NY and international real estate market. She has also fulfilled numerous speaking engagements at real estate conferences throughout the U.S and Australia.

The webinar was hosted by Haute Living Senior Vice President April Donelson, who asked the mother/daughter combo questions that included several from the live webinar audience.

On the use of technology for showings, Jenny said, "We've used technology in the past. It gets better every year, but we don't see that replacing in-home tours. We have amazing drone footage, which is a new thing, but it's not a differentiator." Dolly added, "It is almost impossible to sell something off a virtual tour, but it can help. We find that photography is often much better than anything else in reflecting a property."

Donelson asked Dolly for her advice to the younger generation of real estate agents coming up. "Stay the course," she said. "Know your data. Really get into the details of information. The only way you can get credit with any buyer is if you know the details."

Jenny added, "We all have time now to learn every new development. Everything is online. If a client knows something you don't, that's bad."

They are optimistic about the near future of the real estate industry. "We are fortunate to be in this business that can come back on a short term basis," said Dolly.

In 2014, the Fox News honcho splurged $57.25 million on the top four floors at One Madison (including a penthouse triplex), and a year later he’s flipping the penthouse for a listed $72 million. Perhaps this is why he’s the 77th richest person in the world, according to the recent Forbes Billionaire’s List.

Rupert Murdoch purchased the top four floors of One Madison, including the triplex penthouse which he had constructed to his taste.

Murdoch purchased floors 57 to 60 in the Madison Square Park luxury building—the raw 6,850-square-foot penthouse triplex from floors 58 to 60 that was under construction; and a full-floor, three-bedroom condo on the 57th floor, where he reportedly lived while architect Jose Ramirez built his new penthouse.

The penthouse boasts a double height Grand Room.

Murdoch is selling the penthouse condo for $72 million but he will keep the 57th floor condo.

The One Madison triplex features five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, a 750-square-foot wraparound terrace, a double-height Great Room with sweeping staircase, a private internal elevator, and panoramic views of Madison Park, Manhattan's skyline, and the Hudson and East rivers. Luxurious condo amenities include a full-time doorman and concierge, an indoor lap pool, glass-enclosed steam room, gym, lounge, screening room, and access to the private One Club, a residents-only club offering elite levels of personal service—things Murdoch can get anywhere with a snap of his platinum fingers.

One Madison boasts panoramic views of Manhattan's entire skyline, including the Hudson and East rivers.

Updated photos of Murdoch’s completed penthouse have yet to be released. Dolly Lenz of Dolly Lenz Real Estate LLC has the listing. He will keep the 57th floor apartment, according to the The Wall Street Journal (which is also owned by the media mogul), and thus remain neighbors with four-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Giselle Bündchen.

It appears Murdoch is playing musical lairs because there’s even more breaking news: the Fox titan also recently bought a $25 million Greek Revival townhouse (nearly 6,500 square feet with a 1,200-bottle wine cellar) in the West Village at 278 West 11th Street, which likely explains his One Madison penthouse listing. The former bed-and-breakfast between Bleecker and West 4th streets was converted into a single-family home by seller George Agiovlasitis, who bought the property in 2011 for $8.2 million. Murdoch paid triple that price, however the townhouse was listed at $30 million so he shrewdly saved $5 million there. Brown Harris Stevens’ David Kornmeier had the listing.

Murdoch's new home offers Greenwich Village charm with modern amenities inside.

The mansion was originally built in 1853 for William Bogert, a silversmith for Tiffany & Company. In 1985, owner Hercules Kontos turned the townhouse into the West Eleventh Townhouse bed-and-breakfast: a purple-painted lodging house that offered four kitchen-supplied apartment suites. Post 2011, Agiovlasitis restored the integrity of the original townhouse, which now offers access to Bleecker Gardens, a large communal garden included in ownership of townhouses bordering it. Murdoch's new West Village mansion also boasts terraces on the second and third floors, as well as a modern rooftop deck fully equipped with smart technology.

The rooftop deck is a convenient outdoor space with built-in smart technology.

Murdoch's personal garden has access to Bleecker Gardens which borders his new townhouse.

Still late breaking: word is Murdoch's News Corp. and 21st Century Fox are jointly developing an 88-story skyscraper at World Trade Center 2 as future synergistic headquarters. This fourth office tower would finally complete the new World Trade Center complex, about 17 years after the previous site was destroyed on September 11, 2001.

Murdoch is on the move. News of his real estate spending sprees and success of The Wall Street Journal is positive turnaround from the 2011 Murdoch-owned News of the World London hacking scandal of celebrities and royals, which damaged his empire’s reputation. But it's nothing that time and $72 million can’t fix (not to mention huge future revenue from Fox News' 2016 presidential election coverage). If Murdoch gets his wish (and he usually does), his penthouse sale could also set a record price for downtown Manhattan. If so, start spreading the news.

The media mogul's plan to purchase the Moraga vineyard in Bel-Air was put on hold because he was waiting for approval from the ABC on a liquor license.

However, the deal finally went through on Tuesday, which means that Murdoch can immediately realize his dream.

The News Corp. founder purchased the vineyard for $28.8 million, $.7 million cheaper than the asking price of $29.5 million.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the 13-acre property has a 7,500-square-foot main home with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, an octagonal dressing room and maid’s quarters. A guesthouse across a large lawn has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Hollywood director Victor Fleming, known for Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, built the home in the 1930s.
