Clear visual clutter
Remove small countertop items, cords, personal documents and temporary storage so buyers can focus on the room rather than the belongings.

Real Estate Photography Tips for Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard Listings
A few practical choices before the appointment can make listing photos cleaner, more consistent and easier for buyers to understand online.
Before the appointment
Make the property easy to photograph from room to room.
Check lights and windows
Replace burned-out bulbs and make window coverings consistent. Clean glass and mirrors where fingerprints or streaks would be noticeable.
Finish the exterior
Move bins, hoses, tools and unnecessary vehicles away from primary exterior views when practical. Straighten patio furniture and clean entry areas.
Choose media for the property
Match the marketing package to what buyers need to understand.
A standard listing may only need polished interior and exterior photos. Larger lots can benefit from drone photography, while complex layouts may be easier to understand with a Zillow 3D tour and floorplan. Properties with strong exterior lighting can benefit from twilight images.
Ready for the listing
Plan the shoot around the property, not a generic checklist.
Send the address, approximate square footage and the media you are considering. We will confirm the best fit and current scheduling.
