Whether you’re a seller or a real estate professional, getting a home ready for photography isn’t as “common sense” as you may think. Some things can be easily hidden, some things are more important.
I’m attaching here a PDF document that may help: PropertyPrep
The Short Version
- Declutter. Clear off horizontal surfaces.
- Replace any burned out light-bulbs: If you can’t maintain a light-bulb, what other home maintenance aren’t you doing?
- Worry about the big stuff — wrap up hoses, get rid of a pile of magazines — not the small stuff (like a smudge on the window). Dust hanging off the ceiling fans is not small stuff.
- Imagine your mother-in-law is coming for a visit.
- Does that really belong there? No? Put it away.
