Top 10 Shots Every Montrose Listing Should Have
After hundreds of shoots around Montrose, I’ve learned that a successful MLS gallery isn’t about quantity — it’s about strategy. Some shots consistently drive engagement because buyers immediately look for them.
Here are the 10 must-have photos every Montrose listing needs.
1. The Approach Shot (Hero Exterior)
This tells the buyer: Here’s what you’re pulling up to.
Clean driveway, open blinds, all lights on.
2. Living Room (Wide, Natural)
Show seating layout, windows, and how the space flows to the kitchen or hallway.
3. Kitchen (Full Countertop Visibility)
Kitchen shots should include:
island
appliances
pantry (optional)
clean counters
“Seller Prep Checklist”
4. Primary Bedroom (Bright & Spacious)
Buyers care most about:
wall space
natural light
bed placement
5. Primary Bathroom
Show tile, shower, tub, vanity, and best angles without reflections.
6. Backyard / Outdoor Living
Montrose buyers want:
privacy
patio setups
mature trees
usable lawn space
7. The View Shot
If the home has ANY view (San Juans, Colorado Plateau, Uncompahgre), it belongs in the top 6 photos.
8. Dining Area
Especially open-concept homes; this ties the floor plan together.
9. Garage / Shop (Optional but Valuable)
Montrose attracts:
hobbyists
ranchers
overlanders
tinkerers
If the shop is a selling point, it should be photographed.
10. Drone Context Shot
Especially for acreage or corner lots, drone photos show:
neighborhood
boundaries
privacy
orientation to mountains

Build Your Gallery the Correct Way
Use this order for maximum engagement:
Exterior → Living → Kitchen → Primary → Bath → Views → Secondary rooms → Backyard → Drone
This is the exact structure I use to boost saves and showing requests.
