PREPARING
YOUR HOME
By hiring Rockbait Photo Tours you have taken one big step towards getting your home sold more quickly! Our professional staff want your photos and home to look its best. We have created a short list of “to-do’s” to consider before we arrive at the home. We generally schedule 30 to 45 min. per home and want to use this time to photograph rather than stage and declutter. We don’t mind moving some things around if necessary, but if we can spend our time taking great photos you will get better results. We don’t want to lose sight of what we are there to do.
Check out our “Preparing Your Home for Photography Guide” to learn more about how to ensure a successful photoshoot.
