Real estate agent resume template

Olivia's full-width blue band puts your name, phone and licence in white across the top, which is the boldest first impression of the seven and suits a job where clients pick the agent before the house. Labelled skill rows for pricing, negotiation and the CRM come before the sales history.

Second choice: Daniel. Daniel's rounded grey heading pills give a softer look, a better fit for agents applying to a team or brokerage operations role.

Olivia template details and test results

Olivia prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. State your licence, market and niche in two lines: the neighbourhoods, buyer or listing side, price band and any specialty (first-time buyers, new construction, relocation). A brokerage hiring a listing agent wants to see listings, not a general "passionate about homes".
2. Skills. Technical holds the work clients pay for: comparative market analysis, pricing, negotiation, transaction coordination, listing marketing. Tools holds the MLS, the CRM, e-signature and showing software. Languages get their own row, since many agents win clients through them.
3. Work Experience. Give closed transactions (sides) and volume for each year that matters, then quality measures: list-to-sale price ratio, days on market against the area, share of business from referrals and repeat clients. One bullet on a hard deal you saved shows more than any adjective.
4. Education. A degree is not required, so keep it to one line. Pre-licence courses belong with the licence, not here, unless a degree in real estate or finance adds something.
5. Certifications. Write the licence with the state agency and year. Olivia prints certifications near the end, so the sample also puts the licence in the headline, where a broker sees it first.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.
