The goal of our photoshoot is to showcase your home in a manner that will attract buyers, get you showings, and get you offers. The following checklist will help ensure the best possible results. 

​

Interior

• De-clutter. This is the number one thing you can do to prepare for a successful photo shoot. Put away toys, clothing, dishes, towels, shoes, etc.  If there’s something you do not wish to see in a photo, remove it prior to the scheduled shoot. Garages are not usually shot so feel free to store items you’d like to hide in there. 

• Depersonalize as much as possible. A few small photos are fine but you might consider removing large photos and/or excessive photos. 

• Remove throw rugs and runners so floors and space can be seen.  

• Make all beds neatly, fluff all the pillows, and check bed skirts.

• Clear kitchen and bathroom countertops and remove personal items. A couple hand-placed items are fine. 

• If you want to show off your shower, remove all shampoos & products. 

• Remove all magnets and decorations from the refrigerator.

• If there are pets, hide all food/water bowls, pet beds, and pet toys.

• Replace all burned out light bulbs.

• If you have a larger or well appointed walk-in-closet, de-clutter so it doesn't appear packed full of clothes. Full closets can give the impression of not enough storage space. Standard closets are usually not shot.

• Clean the windows, floors, and appliances. 

​

Exterior

• Have the lawn mowed, edges trimmed, leaves raked, bushes and trees pruned.

• Fresh mulch makes a huge impact on curb appeal. 

• Hide hoses, garden tools, toys, bikes, etc.

• Uncover grills.

• Remove any seasonal/holiday decorations.

 

Day of photoshoot

• Turn on all interior lights including lamps and cabinet lighting. 

• Turn off all ceiling fans.

• Open all blinds, shades, and curtains. 

• Hide all trash cans. 

• Remove sale sign. 

• Put all toilet seats and lids down.

• Clear all cars from the driveway and the street in front of the home leaving a clear view. 

• Plan not to be seen - all occupants should plan on either being off the property or remain in areas where they can’t be seen during the shoot. 

 

Twilight

• Check & replace burned out bulbs. 

• Turn all interior lights and raise all window blinds. 

• Turn on all exterior lights
