Prepping Your Home for the Photoshoot
The photoshoot is an extremely important step for us to successfully market your home! With buyers beginning their home searches online, the photos are our first opportunity to make a lasting impression. If a buyer loves the photos of your home, they’ll almost certainly book a showing.
As a TEG client, you will receive a copy of our Styling Guide. It’s chock-full of our tried and true secrets for stellar property marketing. We’ll also provide you with tailored recommendations specific to your home. We know this is a lot of work, but it pays off! Once you’ve implemented everything, we will bring in our photographer.
Here are some reminders to help make sure you have a successful photoshoot:
Declutter
Clear kitchen countertops (even the paper towel roll!)
Take fridge magnets down
Clear bathroom countertops
Remove shower items
Take up shower mats
Clean
Vacuum and mop floors
Dust
Windex mirrors and windows
Wipe down bathroom sinks and counters
Sweep/power wash outdoor spaces
If you have a large walk-in closet, we will photograph it, so we’d recommend tidying it!
Accessorize
Style your coffee table, side tables, and shelves
Display any favorite cookbooks in the kitchen, or a bowl of single color citrus
Consider putting out fresh flowers (white hydrangeas or tulips always look fabulous!)
Water indoor and outdoor plants (we also are fans of faux plants/preserved boxwoods, to bring life into a photo)
Fluff and chop pillows down the middle (not on points!)
Prepare
Steam curtains and any skirted furniture
Open the blinds all the way
Make the beds and fluff all bedding
Hide remotes, keys, and other small items
