Victoria Adamo

The Adamo Group

Victoria Adamo embodies the essence of Cher's iconic words, "Mom, I am a Rich Man." Growing up in Old Tappan, Victoria immersed herself in the real estate domain under the tutelage of her father, Attilio Adamo, a seasoned veteran with nearly four decades of experience in the industry. Victoria's formative years were steeped in all things related to real estate, encompassing facets of construction, design, and property transactions.

Following her education at Northern Valley High School, she pursued a business degree at Fordham University, concentrating on marketing and Business Law. After an internship in real estate law, Victoria acquired her real estate license. Despite initial forays into corporate roles, her true passion emerged in new developments in Brooklyn, where she collaborated with development teams and architects. Transitioning to Manhattan, she refined her skills within esteemed, high-value real estate teams, garnering invaluable insights into leadership and teamwork.

During her decade-long tenure in New York City, Victoria channeled her creativity from Million Dollar Listing New York. She engaged with developers, design teams, interior designers, and stagers, immersing herself in every detail, from floor plans to finishing touches. By facilitating cross-referrals between New York and New Jersey alongside her father, Victoria decided to leverage her Manhattan experiences and return home to join forces with her father, further expanding on the formidable legacy he had established. While Attilio had solidified his presence in Bergen County, their operations now seamlessly span across New York and New Jersey.

Drawing from her ventures in New York City, Victoria integrates innovative business tools with a team of six agents, in-house operations, and marketing to enhance The Adamo Group's outreach while embodying a comprehensive service-oriented team. With a core team of six agents and dedicated support staff, Victoria perceives her team as a tightly-knit "family," striving to nurture a culture of learning, achievement, and unity. In an industry where clients navigate significant life decisions, Victoria finds gratification in connecting with them and guiding them through pivotal moments.

At the onset of this narrative, a quote by Cher serves as a poignant inspiration to Victoria. This quote has resonated with her throughout her career, igniting her drive to excel in a predominantly male-dominated industry. Victoria underscores that many women are often conditioned to believe they cannot thrive as primary earners. Contrary to this notion, real estate offers a distinctive opportunity to debunk such stereotypes, as the earning potential in this field knows no bounds. Drawing wisdom from influential women in New York City's real estate sector, Victoria has gleaned valuable insights on attaining success and commanding respect. She firmly believes that women will play a pivotal role in shaping the industry's future and breaking through traditional barriers.
