What should a real estate agent resume summary include?

Include the market you work in, the property types and deal types you handle, your transaction record and how you win clients. A real estate summary should read like a confident introduction to a client: specific, local and backed by results.

Build it from:

• Years in real estate and your area: city, communities or districts.
• Property types: apartments, villas, off-plan, commercial units, land.
• Deal types: sales, leasing, property management.
• Results: number of transactions, listings won, repeat clients.
• Languages, which matter a lot in international markets.

Example (fictional): "Residential sales agent with four years in waterfront and mid-market communities, closing 38 sales and 60 leases. Known for accurate pricing advice and fast responses to buyer enquiries in English, Russian and Arabic."

Example (fictional): "Commercial leasing agent specialising in retail and office units, representing landlords across three business districts."

List your licence as the local authority requires; it usually belongs in a Certifications or Licences section rather than the summary, unless the advert asks for it upfront. Avoid vague lines like "passionate about property". Your area, numbers and client focus say more.
