11 Jul Presenting Your Property
Presenting Your Property
Our goal is to capture the best possible photographs of your property. The better the images look, the more inquiries will be received from potential clients.
Cleaning and staging must be completed before the scheduled appointment. All pets should be secured or off the property. All occupants should plan to either be off the property or remain in areas where they cannot be seen during the photo shoot.
General preparation to be shoot-ready
- Depersonalize, declutter and free the floor space.
- Open blinds and curtains.
- Ensure that all light bulbs are working and turn on all the lights.
- Straighten the tables and chairs, and arrange the cushions attractively.
- Remove tissue boxes throughout the house.
- Hide cords and TV remotes.
- Ensure all framed artworks or hanging mirrors are level.
Kitchen tips
- Clear the worktop of all non-essential items.
- Remove magnets from refrigerators.
- Remove washing up liquids, sponges, rags, and tea towels.

Bathroom tips

Outside preparation
- Ensure that there are no cars in the driveway or on the street in front of your home. We want as clear a view as possible of your property.
