Virtual Tour Preparation

Make the most out of your virtual tour by making sure your property looks its best! A virtual tour is an online open house, so get rid of the clutter, and make it sparkle!

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 & 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 clutter-free.
  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 & put away. 
  Empty the garbage can.

Bathrooms:

  No personal items, ie: toothbrushes, tooth paste, shavers

  Close toilet lid and empty the garbage. 
  Clean mirrors & 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.
