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
Clear surfaces
Put small appliances, bottles, mail, and other clutter into cabinets or drawers.
Hide trash and bins
Remove garbage cans from the kitchen, bathrooms, and main living areas.
Bathrooms
Put away all toiletries, toothbrushes, soaps, and shower products. Keep counters and the shower completely clear.
Fabrics
Use neutral, solid-color towels and bedding. Fold blankets and straighten pillows.
Toys and boxes
Store kids’ toys, pet items, moving boxes, and bags out of sight. Closets and garages are perfect for this.
Lights and bulbs
Make sure every light works and is the same color temperature where possible.
Glass and windows
Wipe mirrors, shower glass, and the inside of windows so they’re free of streaks and fingerprints.
Windows and blinds
Open blinds and curtains so we can use as much natural light as possible.
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.
