# Curb appeal that opens the listing video

The front of a house is the first impression in person and online, and buyers often decide from that one frame whether to keep looking. A street view can be hard to get right: parked cars, a bare lawn or a shaded facade can make a handsome home look ordinary. Choose the strongest front elevation, an angled view that shows depth and one approach detail such as the entry door or the walkway, and ListingVideosAI opens the property story with them before moving inside.

The exterior appears as it was photographed: nothing is planted, painted or cleared in the frame.

## Putting the front of the home to work in the video

1. **Pick the strongest exterior frames** Look through the exterior set and keep the straight front elevation, a three quarter angle from the corner of the lot and the front door or porch. Leave out frames where a car, a bin or a neighbor's truck pulls the eye away from the facade.
2. **Start a listing and add the photos** Open a new listing and add the exterior frames together with the main interior rooms and a few defining details, so the front leads naturally into the rest of the home. Files can be JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 50 MiB each.
3. **Check, confirm and watch it** Select one video or spend a credit from your plan, look over the photo set once more, then confirm the listing. Expect the finished video 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing, and watch it through before it goes on your channels.

## Exterior frames that set a strong first impression

Curb appeal is mostly about the approach: what a buyer sees from the sidewalk and the path to the door. These choices tend to carry it.

- **The full front elevation**: A straight on view of the facade shows the roofline, the windows and the symmetry of the house in one look. It is the frame to keep if you keep only one, because it answers the question of what the home looks like.
- **A three quarter angle**: Standing near a front corner shows the depth of the house and part of the side yard. It gives the exterior set a sense of space that a flat elevation cannot.
- **The walkway to the door**: A frame along the path, with the steps, the porch light and the front door ahead, invites the viewer in and makes a clean bridge to the first interior room.
- **Landscaping at its best**: Trimmed hedges, a fresh edge on the lawn or a planter by the door read clearly in a still photo. Pick the exterior frame where the plantings look tended rather than the one with the widest sky.
- **Leave the street clutter out**: Photos with trash bins at the curb, a hose across the lawn or cars in the driveway weaken the exterior set. Keep them out of the video even if they stay in the gallery.
- **Light that flatters the facade**: A front that faces north can look flat at noon. If the photographer shot the exterior at a time of day when the facade is lit, that is usually the frame to use.

## Why curb appeal matters in a listing video

- **The first photo carries weight**: On most listing portals the exterior is the lead image, and buyers scrolling a search often stop or move on based on it. Choosing that same strong front for the video keeps the impression consistent.
- **Small fixes change the frame**: Agents commonly ask sellers to repaint the front door, replace house numbers, mow and add a planter before the photo shoot, because those details are visible from the street.
- **Angles reveal what flat views hide**: A three quarter view shows the side of the house, the garage position and the setback from the road, which a straight elevation leaves out.
- **Season shows up outside first**: Bare trees, snow or a brown lawn appear in exterior photos long before they appear indoors, so the date of the exterior shoot matters more than the date of the interior one.
- **The property story starts outside**: ListingVideosAI brings the exterior and the rooms into one considered sequence, so the front of the home leads into the main living spaces and the details.
- **No new shoot**: The video is made from the photographs you already have. No filming trip is needed.

## Exterior photo choices for the video

| Exterior photo | What a buyer learns | Use it in the video? |
|---|---|---|
| Straight front elevation | Style, size and roofline | Yes, the core exterior frame |
| Three quarter corner angle | Depth, side yard, garage position | Yes, alongside the front view |
| Path and front door | The approach and the entry | Yes, as the bridge inside |
| Street view with parked cars | Mostly the cars | Leave it out |
| Close up of house numbers | Very little on its own | Usually skip it |
| Rear of the house | The backyard side | Later, with the outdoor spaces |

## What does curb appeal mean in a listing video?

Curb appeal in a listing video is the group of exterior photos: the facade, an angle that shows the house in its lot and the approach to the front door. With ListingVideosAI you choose those frames from the exterior photos you already have, and they join the interior rooms in one finished video for your review.

_It is not an exterior makeover. The siding, the lawn and the plantings appear exactly as the photographer captured them._

## Curb appeal questions for listing videos

### How many exterior photos should go in the video?

Two or three is a good number: the front elevation, an angled view and the entry. More exterior frames can follow later if the home has a notable backyard or view.

### Is a front exterior photo always needed?

For most homes, yes, because buyers expect to see what the house looks like. A home whose strongest feature is a water view or a garden still benefits from one clear facade frame alongside that feature.

### The lawn was brown when the photos were taken. Can the video green it up?

No. The video uses the photographs as they are and must not misrepresent the property. If the seller has newer exterior photos from a better season, use those, and follow your MLS rules on how current listing photos must be.

### Are twilight exterior photos fine to include?

They are photographs like any other, in JPEG, PNG or WebP. If a twilight look was added to a daytime photo after the shoot, follow your MLS disclosure rules. If you are unsure whether a listing fits, ask support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.

### Will the finished video show the house number or address?

The video is made from your photos, so anything visible in them appears. For any text, address or branding need, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.

### What does one listing video cost?

One listing video is $15 one-time for one listing video. The exterior, the rooms and the details all go into that one video for the property.
