REALTY ONE GROUP CEO AND FOUNDER NAMED A 2026 HOUSINGWIRE VANGUARD
The UNBrokerage Founder and Pioneer Earns Prestigious Honor Again for His UNTradtional Leadership, Relentless Innovation and Passionate Vision
Laguna Niguel, CA – September 1, 2026 – Kuba Jewgieniew, Founder and CEO of Realty ONE Group International, has once again been named a HousingWire Vanguard Award winner, earning ONE of the housing industry’s most respected honors for true leadership and impact.
The recognition is fitting for a founder who has spent more than two decades challenging the status quo, disrupting traditional brokerage models and building a global real estate brand that continues to experience explosive growth.
“We built Realty ONE Group by challenging conventional thinking, taking risks, listening to our people and staying true to our purpose,” said Jewgieniew. “This recognition is incredibly meaningful, but I'm most proud of what we’ve built together as ONE Family and our continued growth based on our ONE Purpose.”
Realty ONE Group has grown from a single Las Vegas brokerage founded in 2005 into a global real estate phenomenon with more than 20,000 real estate professionals across 450+ locations in nearly 30 countries and territories.
A Different Kind of Leader. A Different Kind of Company.
From the beginning, Jewgieniew challenged conventional thinking, how a brokerage should operate and what it takes to help real estate professionals achieve greater success faster. His vision helped create the UNBrokerage®, a modern, lifestyle-driven brand built around business freedom, innovation, coaching, technology and a people-first COOLTURE®.
Realty ONE Group remains the fastest-growing privately-held and family-owned while in real estate, scaling globally, allowing the organization to move quickly, stay closely connected to its franchise owners and professionals, and continue investing in innovation and support.
Still Disrupting. Still Growing. Still ONE.
Jewgieniew's approach to leadership is rooted in curiosity, courage and a willingness to think differently. From the company's agent-first business model and bold branding to its proprietary technology and global expansion strategy, he has consistently looked beyond what real estate is today to what it could become tomorrow.
Most recently, Realty ONE Group launched ZONE Pro, a next-generation, AI-powered technology ecosystem designed to help real estate professionals work smarter, automate their businesses and uncover new opportunities.
The company's growth is also fueled by a philosophy that Jewgieniew has championed since ONE Day: everyONE matters, everyONE has a voice, and everyONE can win.
With the brand continuing to expand internationally, invest in technology and strengthen its agent-first ecosystem, the founder who set out to disrupt real estate is helping shape what the industry's next chapter looks like.
