Getting Ready Guide

Exterior Preparation:

  • Park vehicles on the street or in the garage.

  • Store garbage cans out of sight.

  • Sweep walkways, porches, and driveways.

  • Remove any weeds and tidy up flower beds.

  • Mow the lawn, trim shrubs, and clear leaves.

  • Hide garden hoses, reels, and other lawn equipment.

  • Arrange and clean patio furniture.

  • Remove children’s toys and pet items from the yard.

Interior Preparation:

  • Sweep, mop floors, clean windows, and dust surfaces.

  • Store away clutter in drawers, closets, or the garage.

  • Remove towels and small rugs from bathrooms and kitchens.

  • Clear countertops, vanities, dressers, nightstands, and other surfaces.

  • Make all beds and straighten curtains.

  • Store all personal hygiene items out of sight.

  • Hide trash cans in the kitchen and bathrooms.

  • Pick up and store away kids’ toys and pet items.

  • Crate or relocate pets to a secure area (garage, basement, or another room).

  • Replace burnt-out light bulbs.

  • Tuck away visible cords (TV, power cords, etc.).

What We Do:

  • Adjust blinds and lighting for optimal exposure.

  • Ensure all toilet seats are closed before photographing.

What We Will NOT Do:

  • Move or rearrange furniture or other household items.

  • Handle or hide cords, including TV and power cables.

  • Make beds, clean, dust, or declutter.

  • Move or handle pets or pet-related items.

  • Touch or relocate personal hygiene products (toothbrushes, shampoos, etc.).

  • Edit out vehicles, power lines, walls, cords, or other elements in Photoshop.

Important Reminder:

  • Please avoid scheduling other services (cleaners, movers, contractors, etc.) on the day of your appointment.

  • For safety reasons, our photographers will not enter a home unless pets are crated or placed in a separate, closed-off room. If pets are loose and no one is available to secure them, we will need to reschedule the appointment.
