In South Florida’s highly competitive real estate market, professional real estate media is essential for attracting buyers and maximizing exposure. High-quality real estate photography, aerial drone imagery, and 3D virtual tours have become must-haves for showcasing properties and setting listings apart from the competition.
Proper preparation of your property ensures that the media session goes smoothly and yields the best results. To help you get started, we’ve created this Getting Ready Guide, covering everything from curb appeal to interior organization.
Why Preparing for Real Estate Photography is Critical
When it comes to real estate media, preparation is the key to a successful shoot. Professional real estate photography captures every detail, so a clean, clutter-free environment helps highlight the property’s best features. Taking time to prepare will improve your photos and increase the likelihood of a quicker sale.
Exterior Preparation Checklist
First impressions matter, especially in real estate. Curb appeal is the buyer’s first look at the property—make sure it’s a good one!
Here’s a quick checklist for preparing the exterior:
- Park vehicles on the street and remove garbage cans.
- Sweep walkways, porches, and patios.
- Mow the lawn, trim shrubs, and pull weeds.
- Arrange patio furniture for a polished look.
- Hide garden tools, hoses, and other personal items.
Inside the home, aim for a clean, open, and neutral appearance. Here are the most important steps:
- Declutter all surfaces (kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, nightstands).
- Make all beds and straighten curtains for a tidy, inviting look.
- Open blinds and curtains to let in natural light.
- Replace burnt-out lightbulbs, and ensure all bulbs are the same color temperature.
- Put away personal items, including toiletries, pet items, and small rugs.
