Recently while teaching a class, I mentioned that agents should be giving their clients Resume’s prior to the first meeting.  One agent asked what I thought it should look like, so here’s mine, as an example.

It’s my belief that agents are essentially asking for a job when the encounter a potential client, so why wouldn't you send this to them?  It will allow you to concentrate on THEM during the meeting, trusting that they will have a good idea of who you are before hand.

Resumes should be under two pages and very easy to read.  One element that you may wish to add, that isn’t in mine, is an “Objective” paragraph talking about your goals when handling a client’s needs.
