Preparing Your Home for Photography Before Selling

Listing photos are often a buyer's very first impression of a property — well before they ever walk through the door.

Light Is Everything

Open all curtains and blinds, and shoot during the time of day when each room gets the best natural light, well before the photographer arrives.

Declutter Every Surface

Photos amplify clutter in a way the human eye in person doesn't. Clear benches, shelves, and floors more aggressively than feels necessary.

Clean Beats Staged

A genuinely clean home with simple styling consistently outperforms a heavily staged but visibly dusty or grimy one in buyer feedback.
