Building a Real Estate Broker resume?
Skip the blank page. Start with a template built for this role, then tailor it for each job you apply to.
Tip: use the template as a starting point, then swap in your own numbers and project names.
What UK employers look for
UK employers want evidence that you can work with clients, understand property transactions, and communicate clearly. They look for formal education or professional memberships, relevant coursework or internships, trackable results, and a professional presentation.
CV layout and file format
Use a clean, single-column layout with consistent fonts and spacing to make your CV easy to scan. Save and send your CV as a PDF unless the job posting asks for another format, and name the file with your name and role, for example Jane-Doe-Estate-Agent-CV.pdf.
Header and contact information
Place your full name at the top in a slightly larger font, followed by town and country, mobile number, and a professional email address. Include a LinkedIn profile and any professional memberships (e.g.
NAEA Propertymark, RICS) if you have them. Add your right to work in the UK and, optionally, your National Insurance number.
Professional summary with an example
Write a concise professional summary of two to three lines that states your status as a licensed/registered estate agent, relevant experience, and one or two strengths in client interactions. Example: Licensed/Registered estate agent with internship experience coordinating property viewings and supporting tenancy agreements, strong client communication skills, and familiarity with Rightmove and Zoopla listings.
Work experience: Framing transferable skills
When you have limited estate agency experience, present related roles that demonstrate client service, sales, negotiation, or administrative competence. For each position, lead with what you did, then show how it mattered to clients or the team, and finish with a measurable outcome where possible.
Writing strong experience bullets
Start bullets with action verbs and be specific about your contribution. For UK CVs, tailor bullets to reflect residential or commercial property responsibilities and the needs of buyers, tenants, landlords, or investors.
Use metrics where you can, such as appointments scheduled or tenancy agreements supported.
Additional Tips
- 1If you have little direct estate agency experience, create a short projects section that highlights relevant coursework, a property valuation capstone, or a simulated comparable market analysis you completed. Describe the tools and methods you used so employers see transferable skills.
- 2Use active verbs such as coordinated, supported, prepared, researched, and negotiated to start bullets and keep sentences tight and outcome oriented. Vary verbs across bullets to avoid repetition while staying accurate about your role.
- 3Keep one CV tailored to residential estate agency roles and another for commercial property roles if you plan to apply to both fields, and update the skills and example bullets to reflect the different buyer or tenant concerns and transaction scales.
