Selling luxury real estate in Naples and New York City, especially in the recent surge in housing prices, isn’t so rare these days. What is rare? Being the broker who helped a client buy a Manhattan apartment for $9 million from Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in Asia.
That broker is Jenny Lenz, managing director of Dolly Lenz Real Estate, with offices in Naples and New York City. The deal for that apartment, in what’s known as the Superior Ink building in the West Village, closed in August.
Lenz has been in luxury real estate for eight years, working side-by-side with her mother and mentor, Dolly Lenz. The elder Lenz, dubbed “New York’s Real Estate Queen” by The Economist, founded her own firm in 2013 after a decade-plus working for other luxury real estate brokerages in New York. Clients over the years have included News Corp. founder and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
