Home Preparation for Photo or Video Shoot

A little prep makes a big difference. A clean, simple space helps buyers focus on the rooms, not the stuff in them. Use this short checklist before we arrive.

Before your appointment

  1. Clear surfaces

    Put small appliances, bottles, mail, and other clutter into cabinets or drawers.

  2. Hide trash and bins

    Remove garbage cans from the kitchen, bathrooms, and main living areas.

  3. Bathrooms

    Put away all toiletries, toothbrushes, soaps, and shower products. Keep counters and the shower completely clear.

  4. Fabrics

    Use neutral, solid-color towels and bedding. Fold blankets and straighten pillows.

  5. Toys and boxes

    Store kids’ toys, pet items, moving boxes, and bags out of sight. Closets and garages are perfect for this.

  6. Lights and bulbs

    Make sure every light works and is the same color temperature where possible.

  7. Glass and windows

    Wipe mirrors, shower glass, and the inside of windows so they’re free of streaks and fingerprints.

  8. Windows and blinds

    Open blinds and curtains so we can use as much natural light as possible.

  9. Personal items

    If you prefer privacy, remove family photos and highly personal items from visible areas.

 

Day of the shoot

• After showering, quickly wipe the shower glass so there are no fresh water spots.

• Do a fast walk-through and remove anything new that appeared on counters or floors.

These simple steps help your home look its best and let us move quickly so you can get back to your day.
