Hero photo
Win the first click with the strongest truthful view of the property. Remove clutter and protect house numbers, number plates, people and private information unless permission is confirmed.
Free 25-photo property checklist
Start with the hero shot. Then show how the home lives.
A useful listing gallery gives buyers a truthful sense of arrival, layout, light, condition and the property's verified benefits. Treat 25 as a coverage target, not a portal-ranking promise: substitute property-dependent views and never add duplicate filler.
Arrival and entrance
Show how a buyer approaches and enters the home. Move bins, shoes, keys and identifying documents out of view.
Front exterior context
Show the building, frontage and setting without exaggerating scale. Avoid neighbours, readable plates and security details that should remain private.
Main living area · wide
Explain the size and flow of the main shared space. Open curtains, match the lights and avoid an ultra-wide view that distorts the room.
Main living area · reverse
Complete the buyer’s understanding of the living room layout. Do not repeat the first image; this view must add new information.
Dining area
Show table capacity and its connection to the kitchen or living room. Set the table simply and remove excess chairs or personal items.
Kitchen · wide
Show the true layout, work surfaces and major appliances. Clear counters, fridge notes, cleaning products, personal paperwork and bins.
Kitchen detail or scullery
Prove a useful feature the wide kitchen image cannot show. Skip or substitute another genuine feature if this adds no new buyer information.
Main bedroom · wide
Show bed position, windows, cupboards and usable walking space. Straighten bedding and remove photographs, medication and valuables.
Main bedroom · reverse
Show cupboards, outlook or en-suite access not visible in the first angle. Do not use a duplicate view merely to reach the 25-photo target.
Main en-suite
Show the principal bathroom and its important fixtures. Close toilet lids, clear toiletries, clean mirrors and avoid your reflection.
Bedroom two
Show the second bedroom’s honest scale and natural light. Remove private items and do not stretch the room with an extreme wide angle.
Bedroom three or flexible room
Show another bedroom or explain a genuine flexible-use space. If it is not legally a bedroom, label it as a study or flexible room.
Family bathroom · wide
Show the cleanest useful overview of the shared bathroom. Clean glass and mirrors, close toilet lids and clear toiletries.
Bathroom detail
Show a verified finish, double vanity or separate shower only when useful. Skip this slot if it would only repeat the previous photograph.
Patio, balcony or outdoor connection
Show how the home opens onto its main outdoor living space. Avoid neighbouring people and private areas.
Entertainment or braai area
Show a genuine South African lifestyle feature in context. Only name built-in or included features that have been verified.
Garden or yard
Show usable outdoor space and its relationship to the home. Move hoses and tools and do not imply exclusive use of shared areas.
Pool or outdoor feature
Show the pool, play area or strongest genuine outdoor feature. If not applicable, substitute a different useful view; never invent or duplicate a feature.
Garage and parking
Prove access and genuine vehicle capacity. Avoid readable plates and never exaggerate how many vehicles fit.
Study or home office
Show a work-from-home space or another flexible room. Remove screens, client files, school details and personal paperwork.
Second living or family room
Explain an additional living zone that adds real value. If not applicable, use a different room that has not yet been covered.
View, balcony or outlook
Show the outlook or elevation buyers will experience. Do not use zoom or framing that misrepresents proximity or privacy.
Best verified feature
Capture solar, backup power, fireplace, storage or another confirmed benefit. Only show and describe features verified by the seller or supporting evidence.
Closing hero or final context
End the gallery with a memorable, useful view that completes the story. This must add information, remain truthful and have permission for any shared amenity.
The practical result
A complete, adaptable 25-view gallery that helps buyers understand the property before they book a viewing.
