What's inside

Everything the template covers

  • Pre-shoot prep for the agent

    Lights on, blinds open, counters cleared, cars moved, pets and people out of frame.

  • Exterior shots

    Front elevation angles, back of the house, yard, outdoor living, and street context.

  • Interior, room by room

    Kitchen, living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, and other spaces with the angles listings usually need.

  • Details and features

    Finishes, fixtures, and features worth highlighting.

  • Twilight and drone add-ons

    Dusk exteriors and aerial views when they're part of the order.

  • Final on-site check

    A last pass before you leave so nothing needs a return trip.

Make the agent your partner

A prepared home saves you time on site and in editing. Sending the prep list early is the easiest win.

Shoot in a consistent order

Moving through the property the same way every time makes it much harder to miss a room.

Keep it editable

Adjust the list for your packages, and keep separate versions for photo-only and photo-plus-video orders.

Keep the shoot details with the listing

In ShootPortal, the agent's request (address, service, preferred date, and access notes) lands as a project with the shoot time, messages, and delivery on the same record, so shoot-day details aren't buried in a text thread.

FAQ

Template questions

How many photos should a listing have?

It depends on the property, the package the agent ordered, and local listing norms. The shot list is organized by space so you can match it to any package size.

Can I customize the shot list?

Yes. Download the Word version and add or remove rooms, angles, or notes.

Is drone photography included?

There's a section for aerial shots when they're part of the order. Check what applies to flying at each property.
