How to Write a Real Estate Agent Resume

Whether you're joining a brokerage or applying to an in-house or corporate real estate role, the resume needs to prove two things fast: you're licensed, and you produce. Sales volume and transactions closed do more than any adjective.

• Market analysis (CMA), contract management, open houses, property marketing

Quantify production

• "Averaged 18 days on market vs. a 35-day area average."
• "Generated 60+ qualified leads per quarter via referrals and open houses."

List license and designations

Put your state license front and center, plus designations like ABR or GRI if you hold them.

Format for the screen

• Single column, standard headings, real text — no tables or photos.
• One page. License and top sales number in the top third.

Common mistakes to avoid

• No production numbers. Volume, transactions, and days on market are the proof.
• Burying the license. It's the first requirement — make it obvious.
• Generic "customer-focused" filler. Replace with a metric.
