Real Estate Agent Resume Example
Brokerages hiring an agent want closed sales, speed of sale and clients who come back. This example puts each in a number and shows the transaction coordinator years behind the paperwork.

Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.
Why this example works
- 28 sales and $14.6 million in volume give the broker a plain measure of production for the last full year.
- An average of 24 days to sell and a 15-minute reply time show service habits that clients can feel.
- Nine sales from a quarterly note to 40 past clients show relationships that last and bring in business.
- The transaction coordinator years, with no closing delayed for missing documents, explain the strong paperwork discipline.
How to write your own real estate agent resume
- Give closed sales and volume for the last full year, with both numbers together, since volume alone can mislead.
- Show your average days to sell and how you price, for example pricing from recent sales and booking professional photos before each home goes live.
- State your response time to buyers and the hours it covers, so the promise is specific.
- Include events or marketing with the clients they produced, such as open houses that led to buyer clients.
- Show how much business comes from past clients, with a number, because repeat and referral business is a sign of trust.
- Add any back-office experience that explains your process, such as managing contracts as a transaction coordinator.

Common questions
Should I list my sales volume?
Yes, with the number of sales and the period. Volume alone can mislead, because a few large sales look the same as many small ones.
Where do I put my license?
In the certifications section, with the license type, the state agency that issued it, the year and that it is active, as this example does. Say licensed in your summary too, and give the license number on the application form rather than on a public copy.
How do I show I am responsive?
Give a response time and the hours it covers, such as 15 minutes during working hours. A specific promise is more believable than the word responsive.
What if I am new to sales?
Show your coordinator or support years, the year you were licensed and the first sales you closed. A clear path with early numbers can persuade where years of experience cannot.
