LISTING PHOTOSHOOT CHECKLIST
Simple steps that make a big difference
We don’t need perfection, we just want your home to show its best. Focus on these key areas:
THE QUICK WIN LIST (START HERE)
• Turn on all lights and open blinds
• Make beds and fluff pillows
• Clear off countertops and tables
• Put away personal items and clutter
• Hide cords, trash cans, and pet items
• Do a quick clean (floors, mirrors, surfaces)
If you do just this, you’re already ahead of most homes

• Remove magnets and papers from fridge
• No dishes in sink
• Wipe appliances and surfaces
