Exterior/Townhome Shot – Avoid shooting framed by parked cars—this can look cluttered or even deter buyers. Instead, shift your camera to exclude the driveway vehicles and focus on the front door and façade.
Front Door Framing – Don’t let the door consume most of the frame (it was taking up ~20% of the shot). Instead, position yourself so the door sits more naturally within the composition, roughly centered but with some context around it.
Pointless Detail Shots – Skip mystery shots where we can’t tell what we’re looking at (e.g. an open door with no clue if it’s a closet or bathroom). Only shoot spaces that add clear value.
Hallway → Room Sequence – When you start in a hallway, follow up with a proper room entry shot. Place your camera off‑center so you capture all three walls, not just two, to give a true sense of the space.
Doors Should Be Closed (Unless Intentional) – Keep interior doors closed for consistency—only open them when you want to show a clear connection (like the kitchen counter shot, where the open door framed the doorway nicely).
Kitchen Counter & Fridge – In the kitchen, don’t let the fridge dominate. Either step to the side or zoom in to crop it out, or conversely, zoom out to include corner details that define the countertop’s dimensions.
Under‑Stairs Closet vs. Context – Rather than shooting the under‑stairs closet door in isolation, show it from the hallway with context so viewers immediately understand its location and purpose.
Transition to Backyard – Always include a transitional “reminder” shot of the sliding‑door reveal before jumping from a bathroom to the yard. It anchors the viewer: “Oh, we’re stepping outside now.”
Backyard Focus – Instead of wide shots that capture multiple units’ yards, isolate just the subject unit’s outdoor space. Shoot from an angle that shows the bend of the fence to indicate it’s this yard, not the neighbor’s.
