Great Real Estate Photo Shoot Prep List
To get your home ready for a great real estate photo shoot, focus on cleanliness, decluttering, and showcasing the property’s best features. Start by thoroughly cleaning every room, including windows, floors, and surfaces, to create a fresh, well-maintained appearance. Remove personal items, excessive furniture, and clutter to make spaces feel larger and more inviting. Enhance curb appeal by mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, and tidying the entryway. Open blinds and curtains to maximize natural light, and turn on all interior lights to brighten the space. Add subtle staging touches—like fresh flowers, neutral décor, and well-placed accents—to make the home feel warm and welcoming. A great real estate photo shoot, done by a professional, can dramatically increase online visibility, generate more interest, and help sell your home faster and for top dollar.
