PRE SHOOT CHECKLIST
To help your property make the best first impression, we’ve created a simple checklist that covers everything you and your sellers need to prepare for a successful shoot. A clean, well-staged home allows us to focus on capturing beautiful, high-quality images. While not every item will apply to every home, the more that's checked off, the smoother and more efficient the appointment will be. If you're short on time, we do offer item removal editing—just let us know!

· Remove all cars from the driveway
