How Much a Realtor Actually Earns in Ukraine

The real commission numbers

For buying/selling an apartment in Ukraine, a realtor's commission is typically 2–5% of the property's value. For rentals, it's 50% to 100% of the monthly rent. When two agencies are involved in a deal (one representing the seller, one the buyer), the commission is most often split evenly between them.

Why "earns millions" is a myth for beginners

These percentages look impressive until you count the actual number of deals per month. A new agent rarely closes more than 1–2 deals in their first months — it takes time to build a client base and trust. On top of that, part of the commission goes to the agency if the agent isn't working independently.

What real income actually depends on

• Number of active deals per month — the main income multiplier
• Average deal size — the property segment the agent works in
• Having your own established client base and exclusive listings
• Specialization — rentals pay faster but less per deal; sales are slower but more substantial

A structured approach, not intuition, is what gets you to a stable flow of deals faster — exactly what the "Ріелтор.Старт" course teaches: where to source exclusives, how to negotiate, and how to bring a deal to deposit.
