While on the topic of great photography, let’s talk about what a home owner should do in preparation to the all so important photo shoot for the property.
You’d wash your face before applying makeup…
You’d floss your teeth before dentist appointment…
You’d vacuum your car before selling…
You’d spray breath-freshener before a date…
…
…
Okay, you get the point, there are many things should be done before the most expensive (in most people’s cases) piece of possession you own gets its photos taken. Victor (Victor Lin Photography) put together a handy checklist of things the home owners should do, hope it is helpful…
Prep List:
- Contain pets in the garage or out of sight
- Remove all vehicles from driveways and do not park directly in front of the house
- Move garbage cans out of sight
- Remove all garden tools including hoses and sprinklers
- Mow and rake yard
- Sweep driveways, sidewalks and patios
- Clear off counter tops in kitchen and bathroom areas
- Remove photos, notes, and papers from the refrigerator
- Turn on all interior lights
- Turn ceiling fans and televisions off
- Put down all toilet seat covers
- De-clutter rooms which may be excessively furnished. They do no photograph well.
- Make all beds and tidy bedrooms. Put away clothes
- Remove piles of newspaper and magazines
- Tuck trash cans out of view in a closet or cupboard
