Here are the top 10 things you should do before your real estate shoot:

  1. Clean and declutter the entire space.
  2. Remove personal items and photographs to depersonalize the home.
  3. Turn on all the lights and open the blinds to let in natural light.
  4. Hide any unsightly cords or cables.
  5. Stage the rooms with tasteful decor and furniture.
  6. Make sure the exterior of the property is well-maintained, including the landscaping.
  7. Check for any potential distractions or hazards, such as pets or loud noises.
  8. Consider the best time of day for natural lighting and schedule the shoot accordingly.
  9. Take test photos to ensure everything looks good from the camera’s perspective.
  10. Double-check that all the rooms are clean and tidy before the photographer arrives.
