We all know the power of the Internet. In Real Estate, MLS photos can do a lot to attract Buyers. They use the MLS photos to help them create a list of homes they want to visit.
The homes with the best results have been prepared for sale/staged. The photographer has been hired and goes to take the shots destined for the MLS and various other sites. The problem arises when the photographer arrives to find a seller that for whatever reason has left toilet lids up, beds unmade, dishes in the sink ....
It's not the photographer's job to take care of these problems. I have heard of a photographer that did make the bed in the master bedroom, but it's not always the case.
If a staging consult has been done, why not go that little extra. Be sure the photos turn out the best they can and have the stager return to tweak the house right before the photographer arrives. This will give the pictures a more polished appearance.
Open houses are another time when houses should be at their best.
A visit from a stager before that first open house can fine tune the presentation of a DIY home.
A polished presentation can make all the difference.
