In today’s market, more than 90% of home buyers start their home search online where photos of your home become the first reason buyers choose to look at your property over others listed in the area. First impressions are everything! I've compiled this list not only to help make your property outshine the competition but to ensure that your home photographs well. The more people come see your house, the bigger the chances you'll receive an offer.
Please be aware that once I arrive I might still move some items and furniture around to help create a “look” or “stage” a scene. I like using some "props" to add impact to a photo and play on the home’s lifestyle. While not vital, it would be quite helpful if you could have some of these items I mention on-hand.
IMPORTANT: Please don't schedule any other services that day so as to not interfere with the photographs.

Arguably, the most important shot of all! Home buyers will make a decision to look at more photos of your house if they like what they see.

* Please have these items taken care of before I get there so I can start taking photos of the outside as soon as I arrive. | |
INTERIORS![]() ![]() |
A lived-in home and a house for sale photograph a bit differently. Personal photos and knick-knacks look great in a home but do not necessarily make good real estate photos. Many of these items will just distract the potential buyer from seeing the size and features of a room.

CLEANINGBecause my photographs are bright and crisp, you will be able to notice dust and dirty mirrors in the photos. A clean and well-kept house looks beautiful and inviting not only in photos but also in person.
TIP: Clean mirrors with a solution of half vinegar and half water. Wet a newspaper, dip into solution, rub in slow circles. Buff with a dry newspaper.
