9 Professional Broker Cover Letter Examples for 2025

Crafting a broker cover letter can be daunting, especially if you're deep into job hunting and realize it's not just your resume that counts. Your cover letter shouldn't echo your resume; it's your chance to spotlight a singular triumph that you're exceptionally proud of. It requires a formal tone without falling into the trap of overused phrases. And remember, brevity is key—keep it to one page. Let's navigate these common hurdles and start writing a cover letter that stands out.

Designing your broker cover letter: what is the best format

Let's start with the basics, your broker cover letter should include your:

• Header
• Greeting
• Introduction
• Body paragraph
• Closing statement
• Signature (that's not a must)

Next, we'll move to the spacing of your broker cover letter, and yes, it should be single-spaced (automatically formatted for you in our cover letter templates).

Don't go for a old-school font (e.g. Arial or Times New Roman), but instead, pick an ATS-favorite like Chivo, Volkhov, or Raleway, to stand out.

Our cover letter builder is also set up for you with the standard one-inch margin, all around the text.

Finally, ensure your broker resume and cover letter are in the same font and are submitted in PDF (to keep the formatting in place).

P.S. The Applicant Tracker System (or ATS) won't be assessing your [job] cover letter, it's solely for the recruiters' eyes.

Greeting recruiters with your broker cover letter salutation

What better way to start your conversation with the hiring manager, than by greeting them?

Take the time to find out who the professional, recruiting for the role, is.

Search on LinkedIn, the company website. And for those still keen on making a fantastic first impression, you could even contact the organization, asking for the recruiter's name and more details about the job.

Address recruiters in the broker greeting by either their first name or last name. (e.g. "Dear Anthony" or "Dear Ms. Smarts").

If you're unable to discover the recruiter's name - don't go for the impersonal "To whom it may concern", but instead use "Dear HR team".

What to include in those first two sentences, or your broker cover letter introduction

Have you ever wondered what the best way is to present your profile in the broker cover letter introduction?

There's no right or wrong answer if you're being concise and authentic to yourself.

Some professionals start their broker cover letter by:

• congratulating the company - focusing on something impressive, whether that's an award, an industry-leading project, or a key event;
• aligning their passion for the field or industry with the job - if you're enthusiastic about what you do, you'd thus grow your skill set and value as a professional.

How to select your best achievement for the middle, or the broker cover letter body

You probably feel exhausted by this point in your application: you've dived into all the details of your success and skills in your broker resume.

What else can you include in your broker cover letter body?

Well, for starters, the next three to six paragraphs should show you further value as a professional. Or, why should recruiters choose you?

Think back on a noteworthy achievement that answers key job requirements and dive deep.

Structure your broker cover letter middle as you'd a story: following chronological logic and highlighting outcomes, thanks to skills.

At the end of the day, you'd want recruiters to be able to see you as the best candidate for the role and understand more about who you are and what makes your success unique (and valuable to the role).

A sincere and original way to end your broker cover letter

When writing their broker cover letter, candidates tend to use one of these phrases, "Sincerely yours" or "I look forward to hearing from you".

Both statements show good manners, but your cover letter should end in a more actionable manner.

Write about:

• how you see yourself growing in the role/organization;
• the benefits you would bring about (you'd impress even more with tangible metrics);
• the next steps in the process (provide your availability for interviews).

Lacking experience: here's how to write your broker cover letter

As a candidate with no experience, it's important to be honest from the get-go of your application.

Use your broker cover letter to sell your unique talents. Choose an accomplishment from your academic background or your volunteer work to show the skills that are relevant to the role.

Focus on your career objectives and how you see the job to align with them. Be specific and, at the same time, realistic about where you picture yourself in five years.
