A little prep before your shoot means better photos, faster editing, and a listing that’s ready to attract buyers the moment it goes live. Walk through this checklist before your photographer arrives.
Natural light is one of the biggest factors in great 7real estate photos. Nicely wrap or tuck away any blind cords, and style the drapes so they hang evenly.
Lamps, overheads, under-cabinet lighting - even during the day. Tuck lamp cords out of sight as best you can.
Spinning blades blur in photos and video.
Dust shows up more than people expect under HDR lighting.
Stainless steel especially shows fingerprints and smudges on camera.
The more minimal the surface - no cables, chargers, mail, or dish racks - the cleaner and more spacious the room will look.
Small alignment details like this make a big difference in how "finished" a room looks.
Just let your photographer know which spaces are off-limits, so nothing gets shot by accident.
Arrange for kids to be out of the house or occupied (a sitter can help), and keep pets in a crate, a car, or with a neighbor during the shoot. It keeps the process faster and the photos distraction-free.
