5 Things That Mega-Realtor Dolly Lenz Can Teach Us

Dolly Lenz has sold more real estate than most of us have ever even previewed.  After watching the "Secret Lives of the Super Rich Mega Homes",  I did some research on Dolly.

She has sold BILLIONS of dollars worth of real estate- and it didn't happen by chance.  She didn't grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth, or hob-knob with the rich and famous.

5 Things That Mega-Realtor Dolly Lenz Can Teach Us

 

 

1. She grew up in the Bronx... and learned the neighborhood and how the buildings functioned from her engineer father. 

2. She started small and learned that owning and investing was the way to build wealth. 

3. She wasn't afraid to move .... Dolly changes apartments and buildings like some of us change clothee.  She learns each neighborhood, the culture, the details..... and picks up clients along the way.

4. She gets 60% of her business from referrals and repeat clients.

5. Dolly Lenz goes the distance. She once flew to Hong Kong and back to New York within 48 hours to close a deal with a Chinese client. She did the same for a deal in Moscow.

In the feature they did on her... she admitted- "I can't cook or dance or much of anything else, except sell real estate."   I bet she doesn't play golf either.  Hmmm.  K

Kathy, thanks for the fabulous post about Dolly Lenz.  As a former airline employee, I have travelled many places for far less than a real estate deal!  Have iPad, will travel :)
