Interior Checklist
​
Lights: Turn on all interior lights prior to photoshoot and replace any burnt out bulbs
Cables/Cords: Hide cables and cords as best as possible
House Plants: Don’t have too many. Get rid of any sickly or dying plants. Larger plants should be treated like furniture, they can take up too much space
Kitchen Counter Tops: All but a few appliances should be removed. Having a couple high end appliances in a large kitchen is typically ok
Book Shelves: Clean them up. Having neatly organized books on the shelf looks great. Junk filling the shelf does NOT look good.
Throw Rugs: It is best to remove all throw rugs to showcase that beautiful tile and wood flooring.
Bathrooms: Toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, soap, toilet paper, candles, hand towels, scented night lights, throw rugs, etc. should all be removed.
Bedrooms: All beds should be made nice and neat and any items put away.
Trashcans: Trashcans can be a distraction so it is best to hide the in the closet or garage.
Entryways: Clear entryways of all shoes, umbrellas, and any other similar items.
Turn OFF Ceiling Fans: Before I arrive please make sure to turn off all ceiling fans.
Open Blinds With View: Make sure blinds are open on windows with nice views to showcase them in the best light.
Exterior Checklist
​
Clear Cars: Make sure there are no cars in the driveway. If possible move them down the street so as to get the clearest view of the property as possible
Trashcans: Hide trashcans on the side of the property or in the garage
Hide Hoses: Remove hoses the day before the photoshoot to avoid puddling and water marks on the driveway and or pavement
Yard Prep: Do yard prep 24 hours before the photoshoot. Yard should be mowed and any toys or items should be picked up and out of sight
Turn OFF Sprinklers: Turn off all sprinklers to prevent puddles from forming on pavement and the driveway
Pick up Poop: If you have a dog make sure all droppings are cleared from the yard
Remove For Sale Sign: The for sale should be removed from the property (if possible). Visible signs violate MLS rules and they cannot always be edited out
Prep Water Features: If there are any fountains, waterfalls, etc. please clean them and turn them on for the photoshoot
Clean Patio Furniture: Dust, remove cob webs, and wipe down outside furniture. Do NOT hose down furniture the day of the photoshoot to avoid puddles
Prep Pool and Hot Tub: Please have pools and hot tubs clean and uncovered.
