Real Estate Agent Resume Example

A strong real estate agent resume leads with production: closed transaction volume in dollars, number of sides closed, and listings represented. It shows efficiency like days on market and list-to-sale ratio, names your active state real estate license, and lists the MLS and CRM tools you use. Put your closed volume and your license at the very top.

Three bullets that work — and why

Closed $18.2M in residential transaction volume across 41 sides in the most recent calendar year.
Why it works: Production is the resume in real estate; dollar volume plus sides closed is the figure a managing broker screens for first.
Held a 98.4% list-to-sale price ratio by pricing with comparative market analysis and staging guidance.
Why it works: List-to-sale ratio proves pricing skill and seller outcomes, a quality metric beyond raw volume.
Generated 60% of new business from past-client referrals by running a quarterly database touch plan.
Why it works: A high referral share signals client trust and a sustainable pipeline, which brokerages value over one-time deals.

Tailoring it in three steps

Lead with production and your license
Put closed volume, sides, and your active state real estate license at the top, since a brokerage evaluates agents on production and current licensure before anything else.
Match the property focus
Reflect the role's segment, whether residential resale, new construction, luxury, or commercial, in how you frame your listings and transaction examples.
Name your MLS and tools
List the multiple listing service and CRM you operate in, since a brokerage wants to know you can transact in their systems without a learning curve.

FAQ

Do I list my real estate license on a resume?

Yes. State your active state real estate salesperson or broker license and the state, since licensure is a hard requirement and brokerages screen for it immediately.

Should a real estate agent resume show transaction volume or number of deals?

Show both. Dollar volume reflects market and price point, while sides or transactions closed reflects activity, and together they let a broker gauge your real production.

Can I call myself a Realtor on my resume?

Only if you are a current member of the National Association of Realtors. Realtor is a membership designation, so use it accurately or simply state licensed agent instead.

How does a new real estate agent show results with few closings?

Quantify activity that leads to deals: open houses hosted, buyer consultations, pipeline size, and any rookie ranking, which signal momentum even before volume builds.
