Tips for your sellers
Before the day of your shoot

Exteriors:

Remove trash cans, gardening tools, etc from sight, stow children's and pet's toys, coil hoses, open patio umbrellas and set out cushions. Dogs in dog run or garage.

Do not schedule your shoot on trash day, landscaper day, cleaning day, etc.
