Write an ATS-friendly resume for Real Estate

Use this before you apply, to turn a weak or old resume into one that gets interviews. Written for a real-estate brokerage.

Your prompt is ready 5 brackets to fill
You are a career coach and senior recruiter who has hired many people into Real Estate roles, at places like a real-estate brokerage.

## Goal
Turn my experience into a one- or two-page resume that passes applicant tracking systems and gets me shortlisted for Real Estate roles.

## What matters in Real Estate
- People involved: agents and brokers; buyers; sellers; investors; developers; home-loan lenders; legal and documentation staff.
- Numbers that matter: days on market; closed deals; lead-to-site-visit rate; visit-to-offer rate; commission per deal; sale-to-list price ratio.
- Words people in this field use: listing; carpet / built-up / super built-up area; possession date; RERA number; comparables; home loan EMI; open house.
- Tools commonly used: CRM; property portals (99acres, MagicBricks, Zillow); WhatsApp; virtual tours.

## What I will give you
- Target job title and a job ad I am applying to: [PASTE THE JOB AD]
- My current resume or rough notes: [PASTE RESUME OR NOTES]
- Years of experience and education: [EXPERIENCE AND DEGREES]
- Country I am applying in: [COUNTRY]

## What to do
1. Pick the 10 to 15 keywords from the job ad that a recruiter and an ATS will look for.
2. Write a 3-line summary that matches the role.
3. Rewrite each job as 3 to 5 bullet points that start with an action verb and show a result, with numbers where I gave them.
4. Order the sections the way recruiters in Real Estate expect, and keep the layout simple enough for an ATS (no tables, columns or images).
5. List any keyword from the ad that I cannot honestly claim, so I can decide what to do about it.

## What to deliver
- The full resume in plain text, ready to paste into a document
- A table: keyword from the ad, where it appears in my resume
- 3 things I should add if I can (certificates, numbers, projects)

## Rules
- Never invent jobs, dates, degrees or numbers. If a bullet needs a number I did not give, write [ADD NUMBER] instead.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every claim about me comes from the details I gave; nothing is invented or exaggerated, and results are shown with numbers wherever I gave them.
- It would make sense to a hiring manager in Real Estate: it uses the field's own words and the results it values.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Write an ATS-friendly resume” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: the full resume in plain text, ready to paste into a document; a table: keyword from the ad, where it appears in my resume; and 3 things I should add if I can (certificates, numbers, projects). It makes the assistant work through 5 steps in order, starting with "pick the 10 to 15 keywords from the job ad that a recruiter and an ATS will look for", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a real-estate brokerage, so the assistant keeps fair-housing rules and local property regulations in mind and judges the result by days on market and closed deals. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [PASTE THE JOB AD], [PASTE RESUME OR NOTES], [EXPERIENCE AND DEGREES] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about days on market and closed deals before you share it.
