How to Prepare Your Property for listing Photo Shoot
Listing your home can be a lot of work and overwhelming! I want to help by providing a shortlist of the most important things you can do to be prepared. By following this checklist you will ensure the very best photos, a smooth photoshoot, and the absolute best first impressions! Pictures or web presence is the NEW CURB APPEAL!!! good pictures can make someone book a showing OR keep scrolling.
