Photographs magnify the edges
Scuffed entry doors, chipped trim, uneven touch-ups, and marks around switches are easy to miss while walking through a familiar home. A camera gives them a clear frame. Start with the rooms that will be photographed and the route a buyer will take through the property.
Outside, check the approach, front door, visible cladding, paths, and anything that makes the property look less cared for than it is. A small repair or a clean finishing job can be more useful than an ambitious improvement with no time to complete it well.
Leave enough time for the finish
Repairs, filling, sanding, and paint need time to settle. Schedule the work before the photographer is booked and avoid filling the final day with jobs that depend on perfect weather or materials you have not chosen.
A pre-sale preparation conversation can help decide what is visible, achievable, and worth doing for the listing rather than turning the whole property into an open-ended project.
Common questions
What should be repaired before property photos?
Prioritise the entry, photographed rooms, visible trim and paint damage, doors and handles, and exterior details that shape the approach and first impression.
