How to write a Real Estate CV

The conventions below are the ones this field actually uses. They are what the builder applies when you pick Real Estate / Property, and what the rating checks a finished CV against.

What it must contain

Leave any of these out and the CV reads as incomplete to someone who hires in this field:

  • Work experience — Transaction value, units closed, portfolio managed, occupancy and yield.

The order to put them in

Order is not cosmetic. What sits at the top is what gets read before someone decides whether to keep reading.

  1. Professional summary
  2. Work experience
  3. Achievements
  4. Skills
  5. Licences & registrations
  6. Education
  7. Certifications
  8. Languages

Section by section

  • Licences & registrations — RERA registration or equivalent agent licence number.

What to put numbers on

The single most common reason a CV in this field reads as weak is that nothing in it is measured. These are the figures that mean something here:

transaction value · units closed · occupancy · yield · portfolio size

Verbs that carry weight

Openers like “responsible for” and “worked on” describe a job description rather than a person. In this field these do the work instead:

Closed · Leased · Sourced · Negotiated · Managed · Valued

Length

1 to 2 pages is normal for this field.

Free, no account, and nothing is uploaded — the builder runs in your browser and the CV never leaves it.
