On the day our photographer and a member of Ostrich team will arrive to photograph your property and measure it up to prepare a floor plan. Depending on the size of your property, we typically require 45 - 90 minutes to capture everything we need.
Tips for getting your home ready
To capture your property in the best possible light, here are some tips to make the most of your home.
- We try to capture your property with as little visual clutter as possible. We recommend clearing kitchen worktops, dining tables and bedside tables ahead of photography.
- Open all curtains and blinds to let natural light accentuate rooms.
- Temporarily move any photos or personal effects you’d prefer to remain private.
- Straighten things up. Make the bed, neatly fold up towels, plump up cushions and close all drawers and cabinets.
- Tidy away any stray toys, loose shoes, bags and boxes.
- If you have valuable works of art, please let us know and we can conceal these with after effects.
- If you have a driveway or parking spot opposite your property, we recommend keeping it clear for the exterior photograph.
- If you want to consider dressing any spaces, we recommend keeping things simple. Having a fruit bowl or a vase with fresh flowers will typically be enough to accentuate a space.
