About This Episode

Jason May keeps this one practical: five quick checks, starting with naming what's missing.

A listing can look different from the house in person for ordinary reasons. The light changes through the day, a familiar angle may be absent, or the layout and surroundings may be hard to read from photos alone.

Naming the gap first makes it easier to choose a fix that fits, whether that's one more photo or a different kind of media.

Key takeaways

What to Know

  • Start by naming what's missing. Talk it over with your seller, and with Realiant, to pinpoint the part of the property that isn't coming through.

  • Time of day changes how a home feels. A house photographed at 9 a.m. can feel different from the way it looks at 4 or 6 p.m., so ask for a particular time if it matters.

  • One photo can complete a listing. A favorite view, such as the fireplace from a familiar angle, may be the piece the seller misses.

  • Some homes need more than photos to explain. Drone coverage shows how the house sits in its area, and a floor plan shows how the rooms tie together.

  • Photo order matters. Jason describes the order Realiant aims for when it delivers: outside first, in through the front, the kitchen, living areas and primary suite, then everything else.

For your next listing

Put the Idea to Work

  • Look at the listing with your seller and agree on what feels missing.

  • If the layout or setting is hard to picture, see how drone photos and video or floor plans can help.

  • Check the photo order in your listing so buyers start outside and come in through the front.

  • Contact Realiant if you'd like help working out what the listing needs.
