Pre-Shoot Checklist

Exterior

  • Move vehicles from driveway and away from the front of home.
  • Place trash cans, and anything that is not attached to the home, in the garage or out of sight.
  • Cut grass, and remove all weeds from cracks in concrete.
  • Remove garden hoses from the yard
  • Pressure wash driveways and sidewalks
  • Clean windows and mirrors.
  • Remove the yard sign.
  • When possible, water the grass 4-5 hours prior to shooting. Even a brown lawn will look better.

Kitchen

  • Remove any Calendars. – Calendars make a listing dated if it goes over 30 days.
  • Clear all counter tops. – No scrubbies, soap, knives or cutting boards.
  • Okay to leave 1-2 small appliances for size perception, but more than that can be distracting.
  • Clear the refrigerator completely. – No magnets, pictures, lists etc…
  • Clean shiny appliances very well.
  • Remove trash can from Kitchen.

General

  • Open all drapes and blinds on windows with a good view. – An exception would be baths and some bedrooms.
  • For security, remove any expensive artwork and firearms from view. Even if they are decorative.
  • Move/Remove any furniture that obstructs windows.
  • Turn all ceiling fans OFF. They will create a motion blur in your photo and even video.
  • Turn all inside lights ON. This will help balance the light in most areas.
  • Turn all Televisions OFF, and clean them very well.
  • Make beds and close closets. If you showcase a closet, do so separately if possible.
  • Open doors between rooms to give an open feeling when possible.
  • Remove ALL evidence of pets.
  • Remove rugs from floors, especially from tile or wood floors.
  • Conceal cords! Unplug them from the wall if needed. (Except lights)
  • Replace any burnt out light bulbs.
  • No shoes by doors or anywhere… Please place them in the closet.

Bathrooms

  • Toilet lids should be down.
  • Clear the counter-top from absolutely every item considered to be personal.
  • Remove cleaning brushes and trash cans.
  • Clean mirrors and shower enclosures.
  • Close shower curtains. If custom tiled bath, showcase with shower curtain half-open.
  • Remove toilet paper from holder, or use a full roll. No partial rolls please.

There are many other items to consider when preparing a home for Real Estate Photography, however by  following the above guidelines, your listing should stand out from the crowd. You only get one chance to make a first impression.
