How to Prepare for a Real Estate Photoshoot
When it comes to selling homes in the Southern Oregon area, high-quality real estate photography can make all the difference. Here at Whetstone Creative Agency, we offer comprehensive real estate media services—including top-tier real estate photography—to help you showcase your listings in the best possible light. To get the most out of your photoshoot, proper preparation is key. Here are some practical steps to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Time and Cleanliness Are Crucial
First and foremost, carve out enough time to clean and declutter the property. A clutter-free, well-organized space allows our photographer to capture the home's true potential. Remember, less is more when it comes to decor and personal items.
Most Commonly Overlooked Prep Tips
In the hustle and bustle of selling a home, some simple but important tasks are often forgotten. Pay special attention to these areas:
1. Illuminate the Space: Turn on all lights and open curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible. Bright, well-lit rooms photograph better.
2. Cushion Care: Straighten and fluff all pillows and cushions. These small touches add a polished look to your photos.
3. Pet-Free Zone: Remove all pets and pet-related items. A pet’s presence can detract from the features of the home.
4. Fridge Cleanup: Take off all magnets and personal items from the front of the refrigerator. A clean, uncluttered fridge can make the kitchen look more appealing.
5. Bathroom Basics: Remove shampoo, soap, and other personal items from the shower and bathroom. A clean bathroom suggests a well-maintained house.
6. Car Check: Move cars from the driveway or the street directly in front of the home. Clear driveways show off the exterior better and allow for wider shots.
