Dear Homeowner/Listing Agent

For us to be able to capture the best possible image of your Home/Listing and to avoid any delay or rescheduling, please make sure you prepare your Home/Listing prior to our appointment.

Here are some general suggestions:

Exterior:

• Remove cars, water hoses, trash cans, tools, toys and anything else that might contribute to a cluttered look.

• Clean front and backyard, deck, porch and driveway.

Interior:

• Turn OFF all the lights unless there is no windows or natural light coming in.

• Turn OFF all fans, TVs, and monitors.

• Make sure all light bulbs in bathrooms are the same color temperature and replace burned-out ones.

• Open all blinds/curtains to let natural light in unless there is not a pleasing view outside.

• Stow or unplug dangling cables/wires.

• Remove all family photography.

• Remove all pet-related items.

• Make all beds neatly.

• Remove toiletries and other personal items from bathrooms and showers.

• Close toilet lids and remove all old and wet towels.

• Remove most but not all items from kitchen counter.

• Remove all magnets, pics, and notes from refrigerator doors and sides.

• Remove dishes from sink.

• If you have pet(s), please make sure they are not present at the time of appointment.

• If you are running out of space to put your stuff away, talk to your agent about using the least important space in the house that we can skip taking picture of (utility room, powder room, smallest bedroom, walk-in closet…)
