Things I learned from my first house shot

I did a shooting for an open house a friend would be hosting. (I can not post the photos yet since I haven't gotten the owner's permission.) While I won't call it enjoyable, it's certainly a learning experience. Here is a list of things I had learned:

• wait until the interior staging and yard work are done before you start shooting, otherwise you are waiting your time there
• do the shooting in early morning or right before dusk (1-2 hrs before/after sunset/sunrise)
• use wide angle, the wider, the better
• sacrifice aesthetics for money showing details (ask the agent what is a MUST SEE)
  
• walk around the house to get better angles, even across street
• swimming pool looks great at night with lights on
  
• shoot in jpeg, not time for raw conversion
• turn all the lights on to get better shots, no need to save money for the owner
• panorama is attractive (and bring in more money)
