Preparing for the Shoot

General Tips

- Our photographers are instructed not to move or touch items.

-Please ensure everything is placed properly beforehand.

- Do a walkthrough before the photographer arrives to make sure the home is photo-ready.

- A home is best captured when empty.

-Please keep pets and guests out of the photographer’s way for the best results and a safe environment.

- We do not Photoshop items out of photos free of charge. If you’d like something excluded, please remove it before the shoot.

Deep Cleaning Tips
Sanitize all doorknobs and light switches before and after the photographer arrives.

-Disinfect high-touch surfaces such as tables, counters, sinks, etc.

-Adjust blinds as you’d like them to appear in photos to limit handling.

-Turn on all lights and ceiling fans you want photographed before the session begins.

-Ensure soap is available for hand washing.
Exterior Tips

Remove all vehicles from the driveway and front of the home.

-Move garbage and recycling cans out of sight.

-Straighten deck and patio furniture.

-Clean the pool and surrounding area.

-Remove shoes left outside near any doors.

-Remove unused flower pots and tidy up landscaping.

-Put away outdoor toys, garden tools, bikes, and hoses. If items must remain, organize them neatly.

The photos of your property create the first impression for potential buyers—make it count! A well-prepared home is key to capturing stunning, inviting images that attract interest.
Please use the checklist below as a helpful guide to get your home photo-ready.

EXTERIOR:

-Remove all vehicles from the driveway.
-Clear away trash cans, garden hoses, and any out-of-season holiday decorations.
-Take down any signs that express personal opinions or beliefs, unless the seller specifically wants them included in the photos.

Remember, staging matters! Curb appeal and aesthetics are key to attracting buyers.

INTERIOR:

-Turn on all lights throughout the home.
