I recently moved to a new city and am looking for a new job. I was self employed as a real estate broker for 20 years. I'm looking for a job in leasing and/or property management, not as a commission real estate broker. I'm ready to be an employee.
I'm struggling with how to show my experience on my resume.
I switched offices a few times over the years so my license was held at four different companies. Even though I moved around a bit, I was always self employed/1099 and did the same thing at every brokerage. I"m not sure how to show this on my resume.
1) I could say Licensed Real Estate Broker and not mention the different brokerages. Then have my bullet points below. This is really the most accurate, but I don't think so many years of self employment is necessarily a good thing and it might be better to list the brokerages.
2) I could list each brokerage and the years I was there, but I struggle with what to put as my bullet points under each brokerage. I didn't do anything different. It was always the exact same job. The only difference was the company name.

Couldn't you just have the main title be Licensed Real Estate Broker, then underneath in the bullet points say "sold X houses at Sally Smith Real Estate Company from 2012-2014. "Sold Y houses at Cynthia Jones Real Estate Company from 2014-2015." Etc. So with the bullet points you indicate different places you work and use some of them to list the specific places you worked.
*disclaimer - I know nothing about being a real estate agent
I would list Licensed RE Broker as the main title and then underneath, list each agency on one line each with the years as a subheading, then put all the bullets under that. Kind of like when you list multiple job titles at the same company, but backwards.
I think you can list your title, skills and accomplishments in the first section and then list your affiliated companies with years below, almost like you’d show an education at more than one university.
