What recruiters look for

  • Production: transactions closed and dollar volume, by year, with the split between listings and buyers.
  • Listing results: list-to-sale price ratio and days on market against the local median.
  • Where your business comes from: referrals, past clients, your sphere, online leads. A self-generated business is worth more to a broker.
  • Your market: the cities, neighborhoods and price ranges you know, and any niche (first-time buyers, luxury, new construction, investors).
  • License and standing: state license, REALTOR® membership and any designations.

Writing the summary

Name your state license, your market and years, and your best production number. Then how you work with clients and any language or niche that sets you apart.

The summary in this example

Licensed Arizona real estate agent with six years in the Scottsdale and north Phoenix market and $21.4 million in closed volume over the last two years. I win listings with honest pricing, sell them with strong marketing, and keep buyers calm through inspection and appraisal. Bilingual in English and Spanish.

Newly licensed agent

Newly licensed Arizona real estate agent with four years in property management, where I leased and renewed 300 units a year. I know the north Phoenix rental market street by street and already have a database of 600 renters, many of them ready to buy.

Agent applying for a new home sales role

Real estate agent with eight years and 160 closed transactions, a third of them new construction. I know builder contracts, upgrade selling and the timeline from lot to closing, and want to move into on-site new home sales with a regional builder.

Bullet points that work

Strong lines for this role, beyond the ones in the example. Borrow the shape and put in your own numbers.

  • Closed 23 transactions worth $9.8 million in my second full year, up from 9 in my first.
  • Won 14 listings from expired and withdrawn sellers in 2025 with a pricing review; 12 sold within 45 days.
  • Negotiated $310,000 in seller credits and repairs for buyer clients across 18 inspections in one year.
  • Ran 60 open houses in 2025 and turned visitors into 9 buyer clients and 3 listings.
  • Kept 96% of escrows on track to close despite 7 low appraisals by preparing comparable sales in advance.
  • Built a first-time buyer workshop with a lender and a title company; 140 attendees and 11 closings in a year.
  • Earned 85 five-star client reviews, the most in the office.
  • Sold a 12-home investor portfolio for $4.1 million in a single coordinated close.
  • Mentored 4 new agents through their first transactions as part of the brokerage’s training program.

Skills to list

Hard skills

  • Comparative market analysis and pricing
  • Listing presentations
  • Offer writing and negotiation
  • Your local MLS
  • A real estate CRM (Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, Lofty)
  • Transaction management (dotloop, SkySlope, DocuSign)
  • Listing marketing, photography and staging coordination
  • Inspection, appraisal and escrow management
  • Buyer representation agreements

Soft skills

  • Calm in emotional moments
  • Honest advice on price
  • Follow-up discipline
  • Local knowledge shared generously

Certifications and licenses worth listing

  • State real estate salesperson or broker license: required to practice; list the state and the year. Rules and names vary by state.
  • REALTOR® membership (National Association of REALTORS®): worth stating, because it is a separate commitment to the NAR Code of Ethics.
  • Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS): recognized NAR-affiliated designations for agents who focus on buyers or sellers.
  • Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) or Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI): for experienced agents; CRS needs a production record.
  • Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) or e-PRO: useful extras for pricing or digital marketing niches.

Length and format

One page for most agents. Lead with your current brokerage and production, then any earlier sales or customer jobs with two bullets each. A two-column layout keeps licenses, designations and languages visible without crowding your numbers.

Common mistakes

  • Describing the job (“showed homes, wrote offers, attended closings”) instead of your production.
  • Volume with no transaction count, or the other way round. Readers want both.
  • Leaving out the market and price range, which makes your numbers hard to judge.
  • Listing your license without the state. Licenses do not transfer between states automatically.
  • Using “REALTOR” for yourself without being an NAR member. It is a registered trademark for members only.

Questions and answers

Do real estate agents need a resume?

Yes, for joining a team or a new brokerage, for new home sales and property management jobs, and for moves into mortgage, title or relocation work. Production numbers and your license are what readers look for.

How do I show results as a new agent?

Use what you have: transactions in progress, open houses held, leads in your database, and results from earlier jobs in leasing, hospitality or sales. Say what your license covers and when you earned it.

Should I mention buyer agreements and recent rule changes?

Briefly, if it shows you are current. Since August 2024, NAR rules have required written agreements with buyers before touring homes; a line on how you explain your value and fees to buyers can help.
