• Both the interior and exterior should be ready for photos when the photographer arrives.
• Remove all vehicles from driveway and move trash containers into garage or pull to curb.
• Make sure all beds are made and bedrooms are picked up.
• Make sure all counters are cleaned off in kitchens, baths, bar areas, etc.
• Remove all magnets, schedules, calendars, etc from the refrigerator.
• Turn off all ceiling fans. Turn on all lights including overhead lights and table lamps.
