Preparing Your Property – 360 Pic Me Studios

Before Shoot Day

Get Your Property Picture Ready

Outdoors

Spruce up your garden and lawn; trim shrubbery, consider planting flowers.
Yard and patio should be neat; outdoor furniture should be in good shape.
Mow the lawn; make sure the driveway and entryway are free of clutter (toys, bikes, etc.).
Winter: keep the sidewalks cleared of snow.

Living Areas

Remove clutter and tidy up shelves and table tops.
Move excess furniture out of rooms. You want the space clean, open, and clutter-free (dog crates, tray tables, etc.).
Replace burnt out light bulbs; great photography requires proper light.
Vacuum, clean the windows and surfaces.

Kitchen

Clean off kitchen counters; remove any clutter.
Make sure dirty/clean dishes are out of the sink and put away.
Empty the garbage can.

Bathrooms

Put essential items used daily in a small box that can be stored away.
Close toilet lid and empty the garbage.
Clean mirrors and glass surfaces.
Hang towels neatly from towel bar.

Overall / General

Clean floors and surfaces look best in photos.
Check the basics around the property to make sure it is clutter-free and picture ready.
Turn on as many lights as you can when the photographer arrives.
Try not to be in the room the photographer is photographing as you may end up in the photo.

Shoot Day

We Need Your Help

360 Pic Me Studio photographers will make sure your property looks amazing online, but we don’t clean or stage homes. The photographer cannot move furniture, clean, dust, move garbage or belongings, or pick up and/or move clutter (toys, dirty dishes, dog toys, etc.).

The home MUST be ready for the photographer when he/she arrives. Upon arrival our photographers can wait no longer than 15 minutes for additional home preparations. If a delay occurs and your virtual tour needs to be rescheduled, you will be assessed a $45.00 rescheduling fee. Thank you for your cooperation!
