Kuba Jewgieniew is the CEO And Founder of Realty ONE Group, ONE of the fastest growing franchisors in the industry.
The product of Polish-born parents who raised him to be curious, driven and passionate, Kuba wasn’t satisfied with a lucrative career as a financial planner and portfolio manager or as a successful real estate agent, closing $30 million in sales in his first year. So, he started Realty ONE Group in 2005 with a 100%-commission model and an emphasis on innovation, disruption and fun.
He’s won numerous awards and has been recognized for his innovative and bold thinking. And, with a dynamic leadership team and leagues of committed followers, Realty ONE Group continues to open offices around the world, bettering communities and lives everywhere, leaving a legacy for generations.
This small Fiat is a fixture at the Realty ONE Group Hub in Laguna Niguel, CA. It’s more than a car, it’s a reminder of where it all began.
Growing up in communist Poland, Kuba Jewgieniew’s parents owned a two-cylinder, 23-horsepower Fiat “Maluch” just like it. Small, simple, and far from luxurious, it was enough to carry their family wherever they needed to go during a time when resources were limited and opportunities were scarce.
Today, that same model sits at the Hub as a symbol of perspective. No matter how big the vision becomes or how far the journey takes you, remembering where you started keeps you grounded. Staying humble doesn’t mean thinking small — it means honoring your roots, appreciating the journey, and continuing to move forward with gratitude and purpose.
As a young boy growing up in a small Polish village, Kuba walked cobblestone streets filled with the smell of home-cooked meals. Doors were always open. Neighbors, friends, and even strangers were welcomed in without hesitation to share food, conversation, and connection.
That sense of openness left a lasting impression. It became a belief that opportunity should be shared, not guarded.
Today, “Opening Doors” is more than a phrase at Realty ONE Group; it’s a philosophy. It shows up in how we welcome agents, how we support our network, and how we build a culture rooted in inclusivity, generosity, and collaboration. It’s a mindset that continues to shape our Coolture and guides how we create opportunities for others, every single day.
Kuba Jewgieniew is a passionate innovator, dynamic leader, and lifelong entrepreneur. A graduate of the University of California, San Diego, he began his career as a self-taught financial advisor and computer programmer before launching into real estate.
In just ONE year, Kuba became a top-producing agent, closing 111 transactions totaling $30 million in sales volume. In 2005, he founded Realty ONE Group with a bold vision to transform the real estate industry, creating opportunities that positively impact professionals and their families around the world.
Kuba Jewgieniew was raised by parents who embodied hard work, service, and respect for others. His parents immigrated from Poland to the United States in search of opportunity. To honor the country that gave their family a new beginning, his father joined the U.S. Army and was deployed to Korea in the 1950s. His mother devoted more than 40 years to caring for children as a nurse and remains the bravest person Kuba has ever known.
Together, they built happy, healthy lives through perseverance and integrity—always treating people with kindness and respect.
Kuba’s wife, Luba, who is from Ukraine, is more than his partner. She is his closest confidant, a source of strength and wisdom, and his best friend as they raise their five incredible children.
