We want to provide you with the best photos possible and be in and out of your home in a timely manner. In order to do this, we will need your help. Below is a check list to complete prior to our arrival to be sure your home will be “Photo Ready.”
Also, photographing homes can be a tricky job...and it can be even more tricky if we have to track the whereabouts of people and pets while we are shooting. We politely request that if possible, you leave or wait outside while we do our shoot. Think of it as a dry run for when showing time comes :-) We are always happy to call or text when we are finished.
Photos are the first thing a prospective buyer will see of your home, so be thorough and have all items completed before the scheduled time of your shoot. Thank you!
