Read photos with a purpose

What you will find here

Each guide follows the same review method and starts with a situation you may actually run into: too many rows, a link that no longer matches, photos that leave out an important angle, or several unfamiliar agent names. Read the page that matches your problem and stop when you have enough information to decide.

When a guide points to an external page, check the current title, option, photos, measurements, price, and policy information yourself. A saved row is useful only while those details still match.

Where to begin

  1. If the names are confusing, start with why the same kind of spreadsheet appears under different agent names.
  2. If you have no item in mind, read spreadsheet versus directory and choose one neutral category.
  3. If you already have a row, use the link audit before saving it.
  4. If the row includes images, use the category-specific photo guide and record what is still missing.
  5. Finish with the seven-point checklist and keep only rows you can explain.
