Photography Tip

This week’s photography tip isn’t about actually taking or editing the photos, but instead about preparing the home before taking the photos– which can make a world of difference!

Preparing your Listing to be Photographed:

Interior
• Clean up the clutter! Anything that you would not find in a traditional model home should either be put away or temporarily stored out of site.

• Try to clear out as many people and pets as possible before the photographer arrives or before you begin taking photographs.

• Make sure the property is well lit. Turn on all of the lights / open all of the blinds. Include oven hood light, and spot lighting for artwork and cabinets.

• All bedding, comforters, pillows and bed skirts should be properly aligned.

Exterior
• Keep lawn trimmed and edged around driveways and sidewalks.

• Remove all cars from the front of the house and trash cans.

• If your MLS does not allow you to have signs in your photographs, please remove them prior to the photographs being taken.
