PREPARING FOR YOUR VIRTUAL TOUR

Our appointment should last about 1 hour. Please read the following and be sure you are ready prior to our arrival. Remember, our 360 degree panoramic virtual tours will make your property look amazing online but our photographers are not able to stage or clean for you.

Outdoors:
  Spruce up your garden and lawn; trim shrubbery if necessary. 
  Yard and patio should be neat; outdoor furniture should be in good shape. 
  Mow the lawn; make sure the driveway & entryway are free of clutter (toys, bikes, etc.) 
  Winter - keep the sidewalks cleared of snow.

Living Areas:
  Remove clutter and tidy up the shelves. 
  Move excess furniture out of rooms. You want the space clean, open, and clutter-free (dog crates, tray tables, etc.). 
  Replace burnt out light bulbs (the photographer will need light in most rooms).

Kitchen:
  Clean off kitchen counters; remove any clutter. 
  Make sure dirty/clean dishes are out of the sink & put away. 
  Empty the garbage can.

Bathrooms:
  Put essential items used daily in a small box that can be stored away.
  Close toilet lid and empty the garbage. 
  Clean mirrors & glass surfaces. 
  Hang towels neatly from towel bar.

Overall/General:
  Check the basics (indoors & out). It takes just a minute to make sure the house is clutter-free and all is in order. 
  Turn on as many lights as you can when the photographer arrives. 
  Try not to be in the room the photographer is photographing as you may end up in the photo.

The Photographer cannot:
Move furniture / Clean or Dust / Move Garbage / Pick up or move clutter
