Preparing for the Shoot

How to Prepare Your Listing for the Photoshoot

Before Your Photographer Arrives

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.
-Tidy up outdoor spaces—arrange lawn chairs, patio furniture, toys, tools, and any other visible items.

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

INTERIOR:

-Turn on all lights throughout the home.
-Open all window blinds by twisting them—no need to raise them.
-Remove any items the seller does not want visible in the photos.

What To Expect during the Photoshoot

**Photography Appointment Guidelines**

Arrival Time: Our photographer may arrive up to an hour before the scheduled appointment. If so, we’ll send a text notification to the phone number on file.

Property Preparation: The photographer is not responsible for moving furniture or preparing the property. All staging and cleaning should be completed before the photographer arrives. While small adjustments may be made at their discretion, the photographer is not liable for any items left unnoticed.

Access: Full access to the property is expected. If there are any rooms or areas that should not be photographed, please inform the photographer upon arrival.

Storage of Items: Unwanted items may be stored in closets or garages. These spaces will only be photographed upon request.

Let us know if you have any special instructions in advance.

We look forward to your scheduled appointment
