Clean and Declutter:

• Ensure all rooms are clean and tidy to create a fresh, inviting space.

• Remove personal items and excess clutter to help buyers focus on the home itself.

• Vacuum carpets and sweep floors for a polished look.

• Consider removing area rugs near entrances, bathrooms, and kitchen spaces to create a more open feel.

Exterior Appeal:  

• Trim bushes, mow the lawn, and clear pathways for a well-maintained first impression.

• Take care of seasonal tasks like raking leaves or shoveling snow 

Natural Lighting:  

• Open curtains and blinds to allow natural light in and brighten the space.

• Replace any burnt-out bulbs to ensure a well-lit interior.

• Consider using daylight bulbs in dimly lit areas to enhance the home's appeal.

Highlight Key Features: 

• Arrange furniture and décor to highlight key areas such as the fireplace, kitchen island, and deck.

• Staging with stylish furniture and décor can help buyers envision the space’s full potential.

Minor Repairs: 

• Address noticeable issues such as loose siding, wall marks, broken windows, and carpet stains.

• Please note that while professional photography enhances your home, we cannot digitally alter or remove structural faults.

Pets and Personal Items:  

• Temporarily relocate pets during the photoshoot to keep the space distraction-free.

• Minimize visible personal items such as pet bowls, family photos, and personalized décor to help buyers picture themselves in the home.

Kitchen and Bathrooms:

• Store personal hygiene items in the bathroom to maintain a fresh and neutral space.

Curb Appeal:

• Consider adding potted plants or fresh flowers to enhance the home’s exterior charm.

Photography-Ready: 

• Keep vehicles out of the driveway and away from the front of the house.

Be Prepared: 

• Have the home ready at the agreed-upon time to allow for a smooth and efficient photoshoot.
