Adina Azarian is the Founder and Principal Broker of Adina Equities.

Adina began her Real Estate career when she was 21 when she opened the newspaper and read, “Help Wanted . . . No Experience Necessary.” The very same day, Adina interviewed with a top Manhattan broker who recognized her potential and hired Adina on the spot. Armed with a Real Estate Agent’s license, and little else, Adina set off to learn the Real Estate business. She was a natural success and before she knew it, she too was a top producer. When she was 27, feeling that she wanted to go off on her own, Adina head out to start her own company - she set up a phone and a fax machine in her small New York City one bedroom apartment, and Adina Equities was born.

Today Adina runs a thriving Real Estate company that specializes in a particular niche of representing exclusive listings. She has a lovely retail office on prestigious Irving Place that notably was a gift to her from a Landlord who praises her work. Currently Adina Equities is the exclusive broker for 70 Rental apartment buildings and growing every day. This is and of itself is an outstanding achievement. She is the only female broker in Manhattan with this specialty and the youngest, male or female. Adina’s exclusive buildings are well spread out in every Manhattan neighborhood. Her niche as a listing specialist began with just one single exclusive agreement, on one apartment. In her diverse exclusive listing portfolio are all types of rentals, individually owned units in Coop’s and Condominiums and some of New York City’s most desirable retail space for rent. When time permits, Adina will represent an exclusive apartment for sale in a Coop or Condo but only when it is a direct referral to her.

Adina Equities is built on the acclaim of clients, property managers, and Landlords. The business model of Adina Equities is unique. All of our business comes from our exclusive listings or from referrals. Adina’s likes to keep her team “small and strong” as she calls it, so that she can still oversee every transaction and so that the atmosphere is family like.

Adina loves what she does and she is no stranger to hard work and the commitment it has taken to make it all happen. As she often says “My name is on the door.” To her, that means a solid commitment to her business being handled just a certain way. She is dedicated and it shows. That’s why she is always so highly recommended and her clients stay committed. Her natural flair, hard work, and personal generosity have made Adina Equities a stunning success.

Adina is very often quoted in the all Real Estate Industry press as an expert in her field. Adina was Chapter 2 in Donald Trump’s Real Estate Book “The Best Real Advice I ever received”. She was one of only ten females in the book, and the only broker invited to include a chapter who specializes in Residential Rentals.

When Adina is not hard at work, she spends time in her East Hampton home with her dog Luna, who also comes to work with her every day. She takes care of mind, body and spirit, with a personal trainer to make sure she sticks to her work out schedule. That’s “her” time. She enjoys fitness; wine, friendships, and anything that makes her entrepreneurial spirit come alive.
