πŸ“ PROPERTY INFORMATION
🎯 PART 1: UNIQUE SELLING POINTS
Not features β€” experiences. What does it FEEL like to live here?
(Example: "I'm best at hosting legendary summer BBQs" or "I'm where busy professionals unwind")
(These are the things you'll still remember in 6 months)
(Be specific: "A family with young kids who wants a backyard oasis" not just "families")
(What would make a buyer choose THIS home over the one down the street?)
πŸ“° PART 2: THE HEADLINE
The one line that captures the home's promise
The Headline Formula:
[Location/Setting] + [Key Benefit/Feeling] + [Lifestyle Outcome]

Examples:
β€’ "Mountain views meet modern luxury in this serene Broomfield retreat"
β€’ "Where three generations gathered β€” a timeless family legacy"
β€’ "Entertainer's paradise with resort-style outdoor living"
β€’ "The cottage that outgrew itself β€” charm meets modern expansion"
βœ… PART 3: THE PROOF
Specifics that back up your headline and make the story believable
(This is your "only here" moment)
🎨 PART 4: VISUAL & EMOTIONAL TONE
(Example: "Warm wood tones, lots of natural light, mountain stone accents")
πŸ—ΊοΈ PART 5: PRIORITY SPACES
Which rooms tell the story best?

Rank the top 5 spaces that should be prioritized during staging and photography:

πŸ“£ PART 6: MARKETING HOOKS
