FAQ.
To view additional FAQ, go HERE
01
How many photos are included with my order?
Photo packages are crafted to showcase the entire property—inside and out—highlighting all essential living spaces. Interior & exterior photo orders are priced by the total square footage of the structure. Homes up to 1,000 sq ft typically include 16–20 photos, while properties over 4,000 sq ft may feature 40–55 photos of finished spaces. Unfinished/non-living areas are generally not photographed (garages, attics, closets, pantries, unfinished basement areas, utility rooms, outbuilding interiors), but you may request them in the order notes.
02
What can I do to prepare for my appointment?
03
I ordered the Marketing Kit/Property Website. How do I add/change information?
Both tools are designed for ease and flexibility:
-
The Marketing Kit includes flyers, social posts, and slideshows to elevate your listing.
-
The Property Website auto-populates with your media and is ready to share.
To make edits, follow the step-by-step tutorials linked here:
04
Does the direction the front of the house faces affect the quality of the photos?
Yes—natural lighting plays a big role. For best results, the front of the home (or lake-facing side) should be well-lit to avoid dark or shadowy images, especially for your main listing photo. On overcast days, this doesn’t matter as much due to even lighting. Here’s a general guide to ideal shoot times based on front-facing direction:
-
North-facing: 10 AM – 3 PM
-
West-facing: Early afternoon
-
East-facing: 10 AM – 12 PM
-
South-facing: 9 AM – 4 PM
