“Please photograph the house number, full front and street left/right at this address, with one context view.”

• House number, or an explicit unreadable-number limitation.
• Full front and street-left/right views.
• One context frame, for four to five photos total.

Check the current front-elevation record before arranging your next step.

“I have not seen the property recently. Please capture the address and front, without approaching occupants.”

• Address and front elevation.
• Street left and street right.
• Front/street context and any unavailable views.

Keep a short front record. Choose Away Watch for scheduled monthly exterior visits.

“I started with a front check, but need full street context and an observation-only occupancy note before my offer.”

• Select the Street Report upgrade before checkout.
• Metro total becomes $49, not $29 plus a second visit.
• The professional receives the full Street Report checklist.

Choose the scope once: the $20 upgrade changes the dispatched service to Street Report.

“I am an authorized heir and live out of state. Please document the street-facing exterior, entry, yard and visible concerns.”

• Front and available street-facing angles.
• Visible entry, roofline, yard and driveway.
• Areas hidden by fences, vegetation or access limits.

Use the photos to decide which local professional to contact and what to ask them to look at. Keep a baseline for later visits.

“Before I arrange a viewing, please show the front approach, driveway and immediate surroundings visible from the street.”

• The property in its immediate street setting.
• Visible driveway and pedestrian approach.
• Adjacent context and any obstructed views.

Bring specific questions to the seller or agent, rather than assuming the listing photos show every relevant exterior angle.

“I own this rental and need a one-time street-side view of the front, yard and visible exterior. Please do not contact occupants.”

• The street-facing exterior on the visit.
• Visible yard, curb and entry context.
• Occupancy indicators, with uncertainty stated.

Use the record to start a specific maintenance conversation with your property manager. Choose Away Watch if you want a monthly history.

“Please photograph the new front fence section, its visible ends, the gate area and any materials left beside the work.”

• The requested fence section in context.
• Second angles and visible details where accessible.
• Remaining materials, debris and unavailable views.

Compare the visible scope with your agreement and ask the contractor about anything still unclear before making your own payment decision.

“Please document the accessible front-wall painting area and trim. I will provide the agreed work area and a reference photo.”

• A wide view of the specified wall.
• Visible trim, transitions and work-area details.
• Reference context and areas that cannot be seen.

Discuss apparent gaps or differences using a shared set of photos instead of relying on a single contractor-selected angle.

“I want three visits to the front walkway work area: an initial record, a mid-project update and a final requested view. Please confirm the dates.”

• The same specified area at each confirmed visit.
• Comparable angles where access allows.
• Visible work, materials and limitations at each stage.

Follow the visible sequence and make each contractor conversation more specific. Each visit remains its own record, not a completion certificate.

“Please make one exterior visit each month while I am away, focusing on the visible entrance, front windows, curb and landscaping.”

• A monthly street-facing exterior photo set.
• Visible entrances, windows and landscaping.
• Specific observations and views unavailable that month.

Review the history remotely and arrange local maintenance when an observation needs attention.

“Please include the front landscaping and curb area in my monthly exterior record. I want context for conversations with my local maintenance team.”

• The visible yard and street-side approach.
• Curbside items and accessible entry views.
• A dated visit record when capture metadata is available.

Compare available monthly views and ask focused questions about visible changes. Use PayProof for a specific contractor work milestone.

“I want an annual Away Watch plan with one exterior visit per month and access to the individual reports for this address.”

• One exterior record for each monthly visit.
• Available photos, notes and visit metadata.
• A history of separate reports in the email-linked account.

Return to earlier reports when planning maintenance or preparing for your next stay, rather than searching through scattered messages.

“There was heavy rain on the date provided. Please document street-level water or mud, the front approach and visible exterior concerns from safe positions.”

• Street and front-approach conditions.
• Visible water, mud or displaced items.
• Exterior context and any unsafe or inaccessible areas.

Share the visible conditions with a local professional to plan follow-up. A dry view later does not establish that flooding never occurred.

“After the reported weather event, please photograph the roofline, visible gutters and any displaced exterior materials from the ground.”

• Roof slopes and gutters visible from ground level.
• Visible coverings or displaced items.
• Distance, obstructions and other limits to detail.

Identify questions for a qualified roofer. Use the photos as context for the follow-up, not as a diagnosis.

“I am out of town after the reported storm. Please document front-yard debris, visible fencing and the approach without entering unsafe areas.”

• Visible branches and displaced exterior items.
• Fence and entry context from safe locations.
• Unattempted views and access limitations.

Send a clear photo record to an appropriate local professional. If repair work later needs documenting, use Loss Progress for the next stage.

“Please document the specified exterior repair area, its temporary covering and nearby materials before the next contractor update.”

• The repair area and covering in context.
• Visible edges and details from accessible angles.
• Nearby materials and anything hidden by the covering.

Keep a current record and ask the contractor what comes next. Use later supported views to discuss visible changes.

“Please document the same front-wall repair over three confirmed visits, using comparable angles when access allows.”

• The specified repair area on each visit.
• Visible materials and temporary protection.
• Supported comparisons with usable earlier views.

Discuss how the visible repair stage has changed and what still needs clarification. Retain the individual reports as a sequence.

“The contractor reports a new exterior repair milestone. Please record the specified wall, visible transitions and remaining materials.”

• Wide and closer views of the repair area.
• Visible transitions and any remaining temporary protection.
• Materials, debris and areas outside the available view.

Use the report to prepare a focused follow-up with the contractor or a qualified inspector.

“Please document the business sign and specified window display. I will supply the location, creative name and approved reference.”

• Business name and full storefront context.
• The requested window creative and visible details.
• Reference comparison where supported, including obstructions.

Discuss placement or apparent creative differences with the location team using an independent exterior record.

“Please use the posting format for the specified shelter or billboard unit. I will provide the location, unit ID and approved creative.”

• Creative face and structure context where accessible.
• Alternate street angle and visible obstruction or damage.
• Legibility, distance and access limitations.

Give the placement team a record of the requested unit and raise specific questions when the available views differ from the reference.

“Please quote the optional night visit for this storefront sign so its visible after-dark appearance can be documented.”

• The sign and exterior context at the confirmed night visit.
• Visible illumination from the available viewpoint.
• Exposure, reflection, distance and access limitations.

Share the nighttime appearance with the local team or sign contractor when a daytime photo would not answer the question.

“Please document street-level occupancy indicators for this address without approaching or contacting occupants.”

• Required exterior views from the public right-of-way.
• Visible indicators with a supporting observation note.
• Occupied, vacant or unclear, according to supported evidence.

Add the exterior observation to your file. Retain Unclear whenever the available view does not support a stronger conclusion.

“Please record the exterior from lawful public viewpoints and document any gate, vegetation or distance that limits the view.”

• Views available without entry or contact.
• The obstruction and its effect on required coverage.
• An appropriately qualified observation, including Unclear.

Identify where the file needs another authorized source of information instead of treating missing photos as evidence of vacancy.

“Please quote a list of addresses for no-contact Portfolio Occupancy records. Each row includes street, city, state, ZIP and service.”

• An address-specific exterior record for each requested stop.
• The same required view categories and observation standard.
• Visit-specific evidence and limitations rather than a blanket conclusion.

Review the individual property records consistently and identify which addresses need further authorized follow-up.

“Please document the exterior, occupancy indicators and visible concerns such as a roof covering, covered window or debris.”

• Exterior and street-level occupancy context.
• Visible roof coverings, doors and glass.
• Notices and debris views, or an explicit limitation.

Prioritize appropriate follow-up on the visible concerns while keeping the observations separate from legal status.

“Please include any notice and curbside debris visible from the public right-of-way, with context and legibility limitations.”

• The available public view of the relevant exterior area.
• Visible notice context, without inventing unreadable text.
• Debris or obstructions in the surrounding exterior view.

Know what was actually visible and which details require a separate authorized source or qualified follow-up.

“Please quote Pre-foreclosure Snapshot records for this address list, including the additional exterior-concern views for each property.”

• The required address-specific exterior and occupancy views.
• Visible covering, door/window, notice and debris context.
• Unavailable views and uncertainty recorded per address.

Compare the available records and decide where a qualified local follow-up is warranted, without relying on a generic condition score.
