Real estate resume examples
Real estate resumes are read by brokers, brokerages and property management companies, and each reads for production first. Agents state transactions closed per year, sales volume, listings taken, average days on market against the local average, and the split between buyers and sellers. Property managers state units managed, properties, occupancy rates, rent collection rates, renewals and net operating income changes. Commercial professionals state deal sizes, square footage leased or sold, and tenant or client counts. These numbers go in the first bullet of every role.
Licensure sits in the header: the license type, the state and the year, with membership in the local association and the multiple listing service. Designations such as ABR, CRS, GRI or CPM belong in a certifications line, each with the year earned. A managing broker checks license status before anything else, because it decides whether you can work on Monday.
A managing broker wants to know which platforms and channels you can run on day one. The multiple listing service platform, the customer relationship system, the transaction management and signing tools, and for property management the accounting and leasing platforms. Marketing channels you have run for listings, from photography and staging to paid social and open houses, with the results they produced. Lead sources and conversion rates show how the production was built. State the price band and the property types you have worked in, because a reader wants to know whether your market matches the office.
One page, plain and confident, opening with the specialty, the market and the best production year. Community involvement and languages spoken are relevant in this industry and can take one line each. Brokerage names are expected in the experience section, with the office's market and the years you were affiliated. The resume is a listing presentation for yourself. Give it the same numbers you would give a seller: volume, days on market and the price band.

Questions about real estate resumes
How does a new real estate agent write a resume with no closings?
Lead with the license and the brokerage affiliation, then the sales, service or marketing experience you bring from other work, framed in the same production language: revenue, conversion, clients served. Add the marketing channels and the tools you have already learned, and a line on the market you know. Brokers hiring new agents read the license and the work ethic evidence first.
Which numbers matter most on a property manager resume?
Units and properties managed, occupancy rate, rent collection rate, renewal rate, delinquency reduced, maintenance turnaround, budget managed and net operating income change. Name the property types, the accounting and leasing platforms, and the size of the staff and vendor network you ran.
Should a real estate resume include community involvement?
Yes, in one line, because referral networks are part of production in this industry. Name the organizations and any role you held. Languages spoken take another line for the same reason. Keep both brief and let the production numbers carry the page.
