PROPERTY PREP TIPS
INTERIOR
- Ensure all reflective surfaces (Glass, stainless steel, mirrors) are cleaned well and streak free.
- If possible have all bulbs in the home switched to the same colour kelvin. (3500-5000k is best) This will help create an even lighting experience in both the photos. (And in person)
- Replace any burnt out light bulbs.
- Hide family photos.
- If possible remove all small appliances from countertops in the kitchen.
- Tuck away any remotes.
- Tuck away tooth brushes, razors etc from bathrooms.
- If clear shower hide bottles.
- Tuck away dog toys/dog bowls.
- If possible have all people & animals out of the property.
EXTERIOR
- Ensure driveway is clear of cars.
- Tidy/hide outdoor clutter. (Garbage cans, garden hoses, shovels etc.)
- Ensure lawn and gardens are trimmed & tidy.
- Remove any signs of animals (As much as possible- toys, poop etc)

BEST PRACTICES
TIPS FOR DOWNLOADING YOUR MEDIA
Please download your media as soon as possible as it will automatically expire within 48 hours of being sent. If you need access to your images after the link has expired, shoot us an email.
We recommend downloading your media directly to the device that you are going to be posting it. (Laptop, phone, I-pad etc.) Downloading on a laptop then sending to a phone and then uploading to social media for example, is not ideal. Each time media is downloaded and re-uploaded you're going to be losing quality.
We recommend choosing the "web size" image download option for photos going to MLS. Our image file sizes are large due to their high quality but social media will automatically compress them upon uploading so it's best to download the web size from the get go to ensure your images come out the best.
For printing purposes (Feature sheets, marketing materials etc.) we recommend choosing the high-res download option for your images.
If you don't want to be bothered with downloading 2 sets of images, the web size images should print okay in small format.
