Held a corporate sales role before real estate
Needs: Prior titles and employer industries
Property data, United States
Career-Changer Real Estate Agents
Licensed real estate agents with a prior career the register cannot see: ~260k former corporate sales reps, ~430k former VPs, directors and executives, ~73k from mortgage and lending, plus teachers, nurses and veterans, from ~3.6M US agent profiles with dated work history.
A license register tells you who is licensed. A professional profile tells you what they did before. Joining the two, on ~3.6M US real estate professional profiles, gives the recruiting cut no license vendor and no profile vendor can make alone: ~260k agents held a corporate sales role before real estate, ~430k held a VP, director or C-level title at a company outside the industry, ~73k came from mortgage or lending, ~72k were teachers or educators, ~51k list a US military branch as an employer, and ~7.8k were nurses.
The same histories answer the loyalty question a brokerage recruiter actually asks: ~350k agents have been at their current brokerage ten or more years, ~400k carried three or more titles at one employer, and ~690k have had exactly one employer in the last twelve years. Counts are rounded and based on self-described titles and employers. For sourcing and outreach, not employment decisions.

How it is built
A US real estate professional profile extract is joined to the license registers on name and office, and every prior role is classified by title and employer industry. Classification is by regex over self-described titles, so each segment is a filter to sample, not a verdict. Refreshed with the monthly profile refresh.
Questions we get
Can you filter by state and prior industry together?
Yes. Every row carries the license state and the prior employer's industry, so a cut like former medical-device reps now licensed in Florida is one query.
Is this suitable for hiring decisions?
It is a sourcing and outreach list. It is not a consumer report and is not for use in employment, credit, insurance or housing eligibility decisions.
