The practical answer
A condo listing is not only a room gallery. It is also a building, location, amenity, and lifestyle story. The photos should make all of that visible without exaggeration.
Photograph the private unit
Show the living area, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, balcony, windows, view, laundry, finishes, and natural light. Keep room proportions honest.
Photograph the building value
Show exterior, lobby, elevator or entry, parking, gym, pool, rooftop, courtyard, package area, bike storage, or other shared amenities when they affect value.
Order the gallery carefully
Lead with the strongest unit image or view, explain the unit room by room, then show the building amenities. Bring major amenities forward when they are central to the listing.
Keep edits inspection-safe
Condo buyers and renters will inspect finishes, views, and amenities. Edits should improve readability, not alter facts that matter during a showing.
