A 360° camera sees everything. To get the best possible virtual tour, your property needs to be immaculately prepared. Here is our checklist.
Declutter Everything
Because the camera captures the entire room, you cannot hide clutter behind the photographer. Clear all countertops, put away personal items, and hide remote controls and cables.
Check the Lighting
Replace any burnt-out bulbs and ensure all lights are working. We will balance the exposure, but having all practical lights on makes the space feel warm and inviting.
Clean the Windows
Smudges on glass are highly visible in high-resolution 360° photos. Clean all windows and mirrors thoroughly.
Stage for Success
Arrange furniture nicely, fluff the pillows, and consider adding fresh flowers or fruit bowls to add a pop of color to the space.
