What to Expect
A properly staged home is key in achieving the most marketable images, 3D and video tours.
We take utmost pride in our work and allot adequate time to every one of our clients to ensure quality. Onsite times assume your listing is ready to capture upon arrival, allowing us to give your listing proper attention while also keeping to our schedule for the day.
Upon arrival, we quickly canvas each home to make lighting adjustments and prepare for the shoot. If the home is not shoot-ready, we will attempt to minimize visual distractions while shooting. If a reschedule or cancellation is necessary once onsite, a 50% fee will be charged.
How to Prepare
A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR CAPTURE
- REPLACE all non-working light bulbs
- REMOVE notes, photos and papers from refrigerators, desks and in-boxes
- REMOVE piles of newspapers and magazines
- REMOVE clutter from rooms that may be excessively furnished/decorated
- REMOVE all garden tools, MOW and RAKE yard
- SWEEP/BLOW driveways, decks, sidewalks, patios and pool areas
Please inform us of any features of the home you would like captured that are not apparent.
We will capture the home as found upon arrival. Blinds and doors may be opened or closed for compositional purposes. We do not move or stage objects.
