How to Write a CV for a Real Estate Agent
Writing a good resume is key to getting any job, as it showcases your education, work experience and special skills to employers. A CV should be direct and informative in order to quickly communicate your potential to an employer. Since employers often have very little time to sift through a large amount of information, your resume should specifically outline your experience relating to the job at hand. This is especially true with niche jobs, like real estate.

List your basic information at the top of the CV. This should include your name, email, phone numbers and address. Choose an email address that is professional, and consider using an address that is dedicated to your job hunt to prevent employer emails from being lost amidst personal emails.
-
2
List relevant work experience from most recent to least recent. Ideally these jobs should reflect your experience with real estate. Other jobs may be listed, but describe them in a manner that makes them relevant to your current position as a real estate agent. For example, if you worked a car salesman, emphasize that you were in sales and de-emphasize what you were selling, since your skills will apply to your position as a real estate agent.
