The home
A tracking walk from the front door to the primary bedroom shows a single-level plan in one clip; a dolly into the kitchen shows the finish. Turn on every light and open the blinds; these homes photograph darker than they are.
The lot and the community
A front-door approach from the street shows the setback, the porch and the carport. In a community, one clip of the clubhouse or the entrance, with permission, places the home; on owned land, a drone top-down shows the lot.
The facts that matter
Owned land or leased lot, the lot rent, the year and the manufacturer, whether it is on a permanent foundation — these change the financing and belong in the caption. A short clip of the foundation skirting and the tie-downs reassures a lender-minded buyer.
Questions
Is video worth it on a lower-priced listing?
It costs minutes rather than a shoot, and a clear video filters showings in a market where wasted showings are the main cost.
Should I show the age of the home?
In the caption, always. Buyers and lenders ask; hiding it wastes everyone's time.
