Step 7 to Selling Your Home: Professional Photography

We’re so close to getting your home on the market! The final step before going live is one of the most important: professional photography.

Why Professional Photography Matters

Most buyers will first see your home online. Great photos can mean the difference between someone scheduling a showing—or scrolling past your listing. That’s why we invest in professional photography and a detailed floor plan for every home we list.

  • Appointment Time:

    • Condos: 1 hours

    • Single-family homes/townhouses: 1–2 hours, depending on size

  • What’s Included: Professional photos + a floor plan + video walk through tour (all at no cost to you)

  • Timeline: Photos are returned within 24-48 hours. Once we receive them, your listing goes live in the MLS!

Our Pro Tips for Great Photos

  • Remove or crate pets during the appointment

  • Hide pet beds, bowls, toys, and litter boxes

  • Make all beds neatly

  • Put dishes away and clear counters

  • Turn on all lights, and make sure bulbs are working (especially lamps)

  • Take your own quick photos the day before—if a room looks cluttered, declutter more

  • Expect a little rearranging: we may move items around for the best angles (we’ll do our best to return things to their original spots)

Beyond the Four Walls

Our photographer doesn’t just capture your home—they also highlight what makes the property stand out:

  • Condo amenities like gyms, rooftop decks, or parking garages

  • Neighborhood highlights like nearby parks, trails, or playgrounds

If there’s something specific you want showcased, just let us know before the appointment.

Bottom Line

Professional photography is the final step before your home officially goes live. With stunning visuals and a detailed floor plan, your listing will stand out online and capture the attention of serious buyers.
