How Jessica’s resume is built
Layout and order
Jessica Moore is a fictional residential agent in Tampa, written for the US on Letter paper. Pitch opens with a header band and puts skills on a single line, so the summary and first job sit high on the page where a broker looks first. Her summary carries the headline number ($18M closed over two years) because that is the question every brokerage asks. The state licence sits in its own section with the issuing body and date.
How the bullets are built
Sales figures need a time frame to mean anything. The first bullet gives the count, value and years together: 52 transactions worth $18.2M in 2023 and 2024. It then says where they came from, 60% from past-client referrals, which tells a broker the business follows her. The second compares her list-to-sale ratio of 99.1% with a market average near 97%, so the number has context. The third shows how she finds new clients, with first-time buyer workshops that produced 14 clients. The leasing job keeps one line on occupancy, which still shows a sales habit.

Real estate agent resume questions
Should I put my sales volume in the summary?
Yes, if it is strong for your market. Give the period with it, such as the last two years, so a reader can compare like with like.
Where does my real estate licence go?
In its own section with the state, the issuing body and the date. Add the licence number only if the job ad asks for it.
What if my volume is low because I am new?
Lead with transaction count, client reviews or lead generation you ran, and keep earlier sales or customer jobs that show the same habits.
