Managing broker
A broker-focused version makes the brokerage identity, service area, direct line, and one current profile or listings destination prominent.

1
Check whether license details are required
Rules vary by state and by whether a message counts as advertising or first-contact solicitation. California can require a license ID in specified solicitations, while Texas does not generally require a license number in every advertisement. Confirm your regulator's current rule.
2
Lead with your name, brokerage, and title
Format: Full Name | Role | Brokerage. Display the brokerage name as required by your state and company policy. Use REALTOR® only if you are an NAR member and follow the membership mark rules; it is not a generic synonym for real estate agent.
3
Put your mobile number front and center
Real estate moves fast. Your cell phone is where deals happen, not the office line. Keep it as the first contact method, formatted clearly: (555) 123-4567. Add a "text-friendly" note if you prefer texts to calls.
4
Link to your active listings or virtual tour
Choose one useful destination: your brokerage profile, public license lookup, active listings, or a featured property. Keep it current and label the destination clearly so recipients know what they will open.
5
Add a professional headshot
A professional headshot can help recipients recognize the person behind the message. Use a small, current image with clear lighting, and test the signature with images blocked as well as displayed.
6
Include one verifiable profile
Link to the profile that best helps a recipient verify your identity, brokerage affiliation, listings, or reviews. Use current facts, respect each platform's trademark rules, and avoid unverified performance claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to include my real estate license number in my email signature? +
It depends on your jurisdiction and the message. California identifies specified email solicitations as first-point-of-contact material that can require a license ID; Texas advertising rules focus on the license holder or team name and the broker name and do not generally require a license number. Check your own regulator and brokerage policy.
Should I include my office address in my email signature? +
Include it when your regulator or brokerage requires it. Otherwise, choose the location detail that helps recipients identify your service area without adding unnecessary personal information. An email signature is not a substitute for a compliant local business listing.
What's the best photo size for a real estate agent email signature? +
A square image around 80–100 pixels is a practical starting point. Compress it, use meaningful alternative text, and send test messages to desktop and mobile clients before standardizing it.
Should I show my brokerage logo or my personal brand? +
Follow your brokerage brand policy and state advertising rules. Keep the agent name and brokerage identity easy to read, and use only logo files you are authorized to reproduce.
Can I add my Zillow, Realtor.com, or MLS profile to my signature? +
Yes, if the profile is public, current, and permitted by your brokerage. Pick one useful verification or listings destination and avoid claims that cannot be confirmed on the linked page.
How do I add this signature to Gmail or Outlook? +
Use our free generator to design your signature, then paste it into Gmail or Outlook settings. We have step-by-step guides for both: see the Gmail and Outlook signature pages linked below.
