Dear Homeowner:

Please find below information on how to best prepare your home for a full 360-degree virtual tour. A 360-degree virtual tour enables the viewer to see the room floor to ceiling, wall-to-wall. Your tour can be seen at the following web sites:

• Realtor.com web site (number one home search site on the internet)
• National & Local Real Estate Search Sites

A virtual tour will be key in marketing and selling your home. It would be beneficial for you to prepare for the filming of your home by following the simple guidelines below:

• You will be called to confirm your appointment time.
• We schedule morning and afternoon appointments.
• Pets – We love pets, but it would be very helpful if you could arrange to put them in a safe place such as a garage during the filming.

PREPARING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME - IF EXTERIOR VIEW IS DESIRED

• Remove cars from the driveway and surrounding street
• Remove or roll up garden hoses in front and back yards
• Pick up children's toys, pet bowls and yard equipment
• Yard areas neatly manicured and clutter-free.
• Have all pools, spas and jacuzzis looking great with patio furniture displayed in an inviting manner

INSIDE YOUR HOME
Typical inside scenes includes Living Room, Family Room, Kitchen, Dining Room and Master Bedroom.

• REMOVE CLUTTER IN AREAS THAT WE WILL BE FILMING
• Magazines, newspapers, toys, food bowls, etc., it can be distracting.
• Decorator touches such as a few fresh flowers and plants are attractive in filming. Remember, sometimes less is more.

• KITCHENS, BATHS & BEDROOM
• Please remove magnets and pictures from refrigerator
• Clear countertops as much as possible
• Have towels neatly arranged or removed in all areas
• Have beds neatly made and master bedroom free of clutter

• FIREPLACE/HEARTH
• Free of clutter and have it well lit if possible – it is usually the focal point of the room

• OPEN DRAPERIES, TURN OFF ALL CEILING FANS, and TURN ON AS MANY LIGHTS as possible in the shooting area.

With your help, we will be able to maintain an efficient filming schedule and provide you with a professional virtual tour of your property.

Thank you for your cooperation, we look forward to working with you.
