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.

Professional artist, Arthur J. Williams Jr., will kick off Art Basel week by hosting a solo exhibition of his work at The Setai Hotel in Miami Beach on December 5. Williams is well-known for his successful reproduction of the “impossible to replicate” $100 bill in the United States in 1996.

Williams printed an estimated $10 million dollars in fabricated money before landing himself in prison for nearly seven years. While serving time, Williams became a household name making national headlines including coverage in Rolling Stone, Vice, and Forbes. He was also featured on the primetime television show “American Greed,” and was the subject of Jason Kersten’s book The Art of Making Money.

Throughout his incarceration, Williams furthered his talent by taking art classes, and studying the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo attempting to combine their techniques with his talent.

Williams will donate a portion of his sales from the exhibit to After-School All-Stars South Florida, a nonprofit organization which provides free, comprehensive, after-school programs which keeps students safe and successful in their studies.

The high-floor unit 3205 sprawls over 821 square feet and includes a single bedroom and one-and-a-half bathrooms. The opulence of Setai’s 3205 fetched a price of $1.75 million.

Fashioned with ceiling-to-floor windows and girded with an oversized balcony, the apartment reveals mesmerizing vistas of the bustling core of Miami Beach, as well as the cerulean waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Gripped by the appeal of the area, the interior of 3205 is equally splendid. It sparks in the pearly shades of the modern furniture and the lacquered warmth of the wooden floor.

Aside from the comfort of the new home, the owner will enjoy a slew of pampering amenities at the residence––from three pools and tropical gardens, to five-star restaurants and a wine bar, to a 24-hour concierge and room service.
