Photos, Video, Drone.. All of these shots need to have a sharp, presentable house that looks the way a buyer wants to see it. We will not stage your home but, if you follow this checklist, it will help to ensure the shoot goes smoothly and your images and video are the best they can possibly be. Please allot between 1 and 3 hours for the shoot. We would rather take our time and do it right than give you sub-standard work
Important: Your home will look better on a bright sunny day. We realize there are time constraints with listings but your images will be FAR more attractive on a sunny day. Look at the direction the home faces. East - a morning shoot is better. West, the afternoon. We are happy to provide recommendations as to shoot dates and times.
