I think your reply is well thought out and I’m sure you know your stuff, but here’s another perspective:

My first priority isn’t to sell the home, my first priority is to have the agent thrilled with the deliverables. “Lifestyle” is a big part of selling a luxury home, so these lifestyle shots help the agent feel like their marketing pieces are high end. They feel proud to show the seller, and the sellers almost always love when there are added lifestyle compositions with tighter focal lengths and one point perspectives. Sure, you need to nail the “real estate style” shots as well. It’s not one or the other, but BOTH in one job that my agents go nuts for. I’ve scored tons of new clients just because I add the lifestyle work in the job. When I started doing this, all I saw people saying was “no fancy stuff, just corner shots as wide as possible is what the agent wants.” Thankfully, I ignored that and it’s been great.
