ChatGPT lists faults and drafts permitted edits. You correct the notes; the listing agent approves.
Get ready
Draft fault list
Correct the notes
Draft the edit list
Approve the list
Use: You
The listing photos and the editor guidelines.
Use: ChatGPT
Upload the listing photos in small batches; ask for a numbered per-photo fault list: exposure, verticals, clutter.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Per-photo fault notes. These are listing photos, numbered in the order I upload them. For each photo list visible faults only: exposure, converging verticals, removable clutter. Say "unsure" when you do not know. Do not suggest changing anything permanent about the property.
Use: You
Open each photo and fix the fault notes; add any missed fault.
Check every photo has an entry, including no fault, and each listed fault is visible.
Use: ChatGPT
Paste the editor guidelines and checked notes; ask for one permitted edit instruction and a do-not-alter line per photo.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Edit list with do-not-alter notes. Using only these editor guidelines and checked fault notes, write one edit instruction per fault and a "must not alter" line per photo (fixtures, views, room size, damage, boundaries). Mark any instruction that could mislead a buyer.
Use: You
Read the edit list photo by photo against the true details of each room; approve it or say what to fix.
Check no instruction changes the real property; only the approved list goes to the editor.
You list the faults. Claude drafts the wording against the editor guidelines; the listing agent signs off.
List faults in a sheet
Draft the edit list
Check advertising rules
Use: You
Inspect each photo and fill one spreadsheet row per photo: file name, exposure, verticals, clutter, items that must stay.
Check each photo has a row; write no fault rather than leaving it blank.
Use: Claude
Upload the fault sheet and the public editor guidelines; ask for one edit instruction per fault and a guideline cross-check per row.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Edit list with do-not-alter notes. Here is a per-photo fault sheet and the editor guidelines. For each row write the edit instruction in plain words and name the guideline line it relies on. If a fault is not fixable without changing the property, say "do not edit" and why. Quote nothing the guidelines do not say.
Use: You
Read the full edit list against the advertising rules the agency uses; mark each item approved or removed.
Check no instruction misrepresents the property; misleading property images can breach advertising rules.
Gemini drafts the do-not-alter checklist and flags faults. The listing agent checks the rules; you write the list.
Draft the checklist
Check the checklist
Flag faults per photo
Write the edit list
Use: Gemini
Upload the editor guidelines; ask for a property-specific do-not-alter checklist: structure, views, fixtures, damage, boundaries, size.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Do-not-alter checklist. From these editor guidelines, draft a property-specific do-not-alter checklist covering structure, views, fixtures, damage, boundaries and size. One line per item. Do not add rules that are not in the guidelines; write "to confirm" where a guideline is unclear.
Use: You
Read every drafted line against the real property; fix or cut lines that go beyond the guidelines.
Check the checklist covers anything that would misrepresent the property before photos are judged against it.
Use: Gemini
Upload up to 9 photos per prompt with the checked checklist; ask for faults and which items each fix could touch.
What to paste into the tool
Task: Per-photo faults with checklist conflicts flagged. Here are listing photos and a do-not-alter checklist. For each photo list exposure, vertical or clutter faults, and name any checklist item a fix could affect. Do not propose edits that change the property.
Use: You
Write the final edit list by hand from the checked faults, each entry carrying its do-not-alter line.
Open each photo and confirm every flagged fault and conflict is real; no edit changes the real property.
