I’m just writing my resume as a real estate agent and I’m having difficulty to put things into words in a professional way.
What are some of the examples of the responsibilities and accomplishments that I should include?

Whoa! STOP! All you have to do is apply to the state for a license and they will be chasing you down. You won’t need a resume. You, interview them. Look for a company that offers you the right environment. If you are new, ask about training! Ask about how fast the startup is. If you already have access to the MLS check them out and if they tell you their numbers are spectacular prove it out. Search, solds by office id and prove it out. Figure out who their top producers are and ask to talk to them by name. Ask the newest person, how long it took to get a phone line, e-mail address, web page? Check out their average sales price that’s where the leads are coming from! Checkout the Days on market-does their training work? do they have a strong lender that can close your leads in a timely fashion? How does their days on market compare to everyone elses? What is their lowest list price? Highest list price? what kind of listings do they take? Are they doing more listings or sales (buyers) which do you like to work. Will you be happy and successful here?
I just went through this again and one company thought 3 weeks was a good time frame. I went with the one that had everything done in less than 24 hours- RE/MAX rocks! Good Luck!
p.s. If you are stepping out of the business talk about number of units sold, gross volume, marketing skills, profit increases. TAlk about how you compare to others from a length of time in the business to their volume etc. Maybe you closed 3 million in one year and 4.5 the next that shows that you know how to improve your business. See? Good luck with either

Resume? most agencies will be knocking down your door. You should be interviewing them, not them interviewing you.
