Listing Preparation Checklist

Prepare your listing before the photographer arrives to ensure the best photos and a strong first impression. A well-prepped home enhances image quality and attracts buyers. If the home isn’t ready, it’s best to reschedule for optimal results.

Lighting & Windows

Open all blinds and curtains to let in natural light.

Turn on all interior lights, including lamps and under-cabinet lighting.

Ensure all light bulbs are working and consistent in color temperature.

Bathrooms

Close all toilet seats and lids.

Open shower curtains fully.

Remove any personal items such as toothbrushes, razors, and soaps.

Bedrooms & Living Areas

Arrange blankets and bedding neatly to your liking.

Fluff pillows and straighten furniture.

Declutter surfaces, nightstands, and coffee tables for a clean look.

Kitchen & Dining Areas

Clear countertops of excessive items—keep it clean and staged.

Close all cabinet doors and drawers.

Remove dish racks, sponges, and unnecessary appliances for a polished look.

General Home Appearance

Ensure all rooms are tidy and free of clutter.

Hide visible cords, shoes, laundry baskets, and personal items.

Adjust furniture and décor to enhance the home’s spaciousness.

Final Touches

The home should be in the same condition as it would be for an open house.

Walk through the property to ensure everything is photo-ready.

Notify the photographer of any special features or angles you’d like highlighted.

By following this checklist, you’ll ensure that your listing looks its absolute best, attracting more interest and potential buyers.
