A proper home staging checklist to give realtors ahead of your planned shoot is an extremely helpful tool for real estate photographers. It’s a terrible feeling when you walk into a house that hasn’t been prepared for photography. You either need to spend your time preparing the house yourself, or reschedule the shoot all together.

Sending the realtor or homeowner a home staging checklist ensures that the job will be at least partially done before you show up and gives them the necessary tools to properly prepare the home. Give a copy of this home staging guide to the realtors you work with and you’ll end up saving yourself a ton of time and frustration.
