Prepping Your Home for the Photoshoot

The photoshoot is an extremely important step for us to successfully market your home! With buyers beginning their home searches online, the photos are our first opportunity to make a lasting impression. If a buyer loves the photos of your home, they’ll almost certainly book a showing.

As an M&Co. client, you will receive a copy of our Styling Guide. It’s chock-full of our tried & true secrets for stellar property marketing. We’ll also provide you with tailored recommendations specific to your home. We know this is a lot of work, but it pays off! Once you’ve implemented everything, we will bring in our photographer.

Here are some reminders to help make sure you have a successful photoshoot:

Declutter

  • Clear kitchen countertops (even the paper towel roll!)

  • Take fridge magnets down

  • Clear bathroom countertops

  • Remove shower items

  • Take up shower mats

Clean

  • Vacuum & mop floors

  • Dust

  • Windex mirrors & windows

  • Wipe down bathroom sinks & counters

  • Sweep/power wash outdoor spaces

  • If you have a large walk-in closet, we will photograph it, so we’d recommend tidying it!

Accessorize

  • Style your coffee table, side tables, & shelves

  • Display any favorite cookbooks in the kitchen, or a bowl of single color citrus

  • Consider putting out fresh flowers (white hydrangeas or tulips always look fabulous!)

  • Water indoor & outdoor plants (we also are fans of faux plants/preserved boxwoods, to bring life into a photo)

  • Fluff & chop pillows down the middle (not on points!)

Prepare

  • Steam curtains & any skirted furniture

  • Open the blinds all the way

  • Make the beds & fluff all bedding

  • Hide remotes, keys, & other small items
