Home Preparation

For Real Estate Photography

To assist in the smoothness of the photography and video process, the Drone Home Media's Home Preparation Guide is here to help. We recommend this guide to be completed before our team arrives at the home, allowing for an efficient experience for the agent, homeowners and our team. Having a home that is staged and cleared of items can help sell the home faster!
