Getting Photo Ready

Tips For Preparing the Property:

Before the Shoot:

• Be sure to have the home cleaned and staged to your liking

• Realtors should confirm the state of the property prior to the appointment

• Turn on all lights

• Open curtains/blinds

• Turn off fans

• Turn off electronics such as TVs and computer screens

• Remove dishes from the sink

• Declutter and wipe down countertops

• Remove any magnets or other items from the exterior of your fridge

• Clean mirrors and windows

• Stow away any visible hygiene products from the bathroom

• Lower toilet seats

• Hide trash cans

• Move cars from the driveway

• Remove any flags or banners from the exterior of the property

• Hide trash bins

During the Shoot:

• Do not schedule other workers to be in the home during the shoot

• Do not host any events at the home during the shoot

• Try to keep the number of people at the home as minimal as possible

Key Tips:

• Details matter

• We recommend that realtors do a walk-through of the home prior to the appointment to ensure that everything is prepared and cleaned properly.

• Remove as much clutter/unnecessary items from each room as you can. This ensures that items inside the home are not taking attention away from the house itself.

• Staging and landscaping are recommended as well as professional cleaning services if possible.
