This is the homeowner-ready checklist. Get the home photo-ready before we arrive,
then we can spend the appointment photographing it — not rearranging it.
We’ll do a quick walk-through when we arrive, but photography starts shortly after. The biggest improvement you can make is simple: clear the visual clutter before the photographer gets there.
Kitchen
Clear the counters. Let the room breathe.
Kitchens photograph best when the surfaces are doing less.
Living & dining areas
Make the space feel open.
The goal is not to make the home look empty. It is to make each room easy to understand at a glance.
Bedrooms
Simple, tidy and calm.
Beds and surfaces dominate bedroom photographs, so a few minutes here makes a noticeable difference.
Bathrooms
Put the everyday stuff away.
Bathroom photographs improve dramatically when the counters and tub or shower areas are clear.
Exterior
Give us a clean first impression.
The front exterior is often one of the most important photographs in the entire listing.
The final 10-minute check
Walk through once as if you were seeing the home online.
These are the last things worth checking before the photographer arrives.
One more thing
Don’t worry about the things the house can’t change.
Every home has quirks. The goal is not perfection. Focus on the things you can control:
clear visual clutter, straighten the rooms and have the property ready when the appointment begins.
