# Seller's Brief — <Property Name>

The answers below are interview answers from the seller. They source the brochure's editorial voice — chapter decks, body paragraphs, captions, taglines, and buyer-avatar tone. The brochure agent reads this file before generating any copy and uses it to anchor every section.

This template ships with the `make-brochure` skill at `references/seller-brief-template.md`. To use:

1. Copy this file to `<property_dir>/seller-brief.md`.
2. Fill in every answer. Empty answers are not acceptable; the orchestrator will refuse to invoke `property-brochure` until each question has at least a few sentences.
3. Save and re-run the orchestrator (or `property-brochure` directly).

Answers are not quoted verbatim in the brochure — the agent distils them into the editorial register. If a phrase is so apt the seller wants it preserved word-for-word, mark it `[VERBATIM]` at the start of the answer.

## Layout & Lifestyle

**5. If a buyer walked through the door for the first time, what feeling do you want them to get?**

<!-- Answer here. This sets the *deck* of the opening chapter — the single italic sentence at the top of page 3. -->

**6. Which room or feature is your personal favourite, and why?**

<!-- Answer here. This room gets the strongest photographic treatment in its chapter — the hero cell, not a strip-cell. -->

**7. What kind of lifestyle does this home support best (family, professional couple, entertainer, quiet retreat, etc.)?**

<!-- Answer here. This shapes the buyer-avatar tone of every body paragraph. -->

## Improvements & Upgrades

**8. Have you done any renovations, upgrades, or improvements since moving in?**

<!-- Answer here. -->

**9. If so, what did you change and why? (Style, functionality, energy efficiency, etc.)**

<!-- Answer here. These become the highlighted items in the particulars list on the Plan & Particulars page. -->

**10. Are there any design details or features people often notice or comment on?**

<!-- Answer here. These become the strip-cell captions and attr-grid features. -->

## Local Area & Community

**11. What do you love about the local area?**

<!-- Answer here. -->

**12. Are there any hidden gems — cafés, parks, walks, schools, neighbours — that stand out?**

<!-- Answer here. -->

<!-- Answer here. -->

## Practical & Buyer Avatar

**15. Who do you think this home would suit best — and why?**

<!-- Answer here. -->

**16. What type of buyer do you hope moves in next?**

<!-- Answer here. -->

**17. Is there anything about the home you feel needs context or explanation before viewings? (e.g., heating, electrics, layout quirks)**

<!-- Answer here. Items raised here are flagged as "context" in the Material Information page or footnoted in the Particulars list — they are not omitted from the brochure. -->

**18. What do you think buyers might overlook that deserves more attention?**

<!-- Answer here. These are the "moments" the brochure deliberately surfaces — sometimes promoting a slot from a strip-cell to a hero. -->

**19. If you could describe your home in three words, what would they be?**

<!-- Answer here. These three words anchor the cover sub-line OR the opening chapter deck. The brochure uses the seller's words; it does not rephrase them. -->

**20. Is there a particular feeling, story, or phrase you'd love buyers to connect with when they see your home online?**

<!-- Answer here. This phrase becomes the cover tagline, the opener pull-quote, OR the back-page tagline — wherever it best fits. The brochure carries the seller's exact phrase if marked [VERBATIM]. -->
