Act like a buyer and walk through your home like it is the first time.

Great photos start with beautifully staged spaces, so let's get started!

• Make every surface shine: vacuum, mop, and clean those windows!
• Remove the screens from the windows to let in the maximum lite.
• Turn ON all of the lights and lamps and make sure you have changed out all of the bulbs for bright light bulbs. 
• Blinds and shutters adjusted open to let light in. You can lift your blinds all the way up as well if there is a nice view.
• Turn OFF all ceiling fan blades for the photos.
• Turn OFF all televisions and computer screens
• Depersonalize each room.
• Organize your closets, cabinets and drawers in every room - you know people are going to look.

Curb appeal is crucial to a good first impression. 

• Powerwash your house, driveway and sidewalk
• Improve your landscaping - MULCH MULCH MULCH
• Make any needed repairs
• Create an inviting front door such as a fresh coat of paint and adding a new welcome mat
• Remove empty planters
• Remove visible water hoses
• No cars in the driveway at photo time

You love your pets. Your buyers may not.

• Steam clean furniture/carpet to remove odors
• Do not use air freshness. Some buyers are allergic to spays and it only appears that you are masking a bad oder. Try popping popcorn for a welcoming smell.
• Remove pet carriers and crates.
• Hide pet dishes.
• Hide litter boxes.
• Clean up the pet waste in the backyard!
• Repair any damaged doors.
• Cover damage on furniture with throws or blankets - can't leave buyers thinking what else is damaged.

Not everyone loves drones around their property

• Move your vehicles away from the property so they are not in any of the shoots.
• You are going to be responsible to notify your neighbors that a drone will be used and it is not a bad person spying on them
• Remove pet and livestock from the area. Some tend to be scared of the noice that the drone makes.
• If the weather is windy or rainy I will have to reschedule.
• Drones do not like power lines so some properties can not be videoed.
