Preparing For A Photo Shoot

by Debbie Caldwell 01/23/2025

One of the first thing we do as agents is take photos of your home.  Photos are usually the first way buyers see your home.  In order to prepare your home for the photographers we recommend sellers make changes to ensure that your home shows perfectly in photos.  Here are some things we recommend sellers do to prepare their home.

Clean the home. 

Touch up paint.

De-clutter so that buyers can truly see the home.

Tidy the yard and porch area.

On the Day of the Photo Shoot.

Clean and put away all dishes.

Tidy all counters.

Make all beds.

Sweep, Mop and Vacuum if possible.

Making sure your home is picture ready is an important first step towards selling your home.  Good photos can really sell a home to buyers on touring your home.  This is why every home I sell gets high quality photography. 

Happy Selling!
