An annual “Rants and Raves” survey of real estate photographers has found that their biggest gripes are homeowners not tidying up properties.
HomeJab, a company that provides real estate photographers in all 50 states, surveyed over 100 professional photographers and asked them what they like and dislike the most when doing a job.
Top of the list for “Things professional photographers wish all sellers did before a shoot,” was decluttering.
Photographers are unhappy when the property they are shooting is messy when they arrive. Sometimes the sellers will attempt to declutter during the shoot, moving stuff from one room to the next as the cameraperson makes their way through the house.
“Moving clutter room-to-room like musical chairs disrupts the flow and slows down the process,” said a real estate photographer from Lakeland, Florida, adding significant additional time to a shoot.
