Homeowner Prep Checklist — WGAN 2026 form template.
Last updated
The Homeowner Prep Checklist is a WGAN 2026 master template designed for real estate photographers, 3D tour creators, and reality-capture professionals to share with homeowners before a shoot. It walks sellers through room-by-room staging tasks — lighting, decluttering, exterior prep, and pet management — so the property is camera-ready on arrival. The checklist covers every major area of a home, from kitchen countertops to outdoor spaces, and is formatted as a printable or shareable task list for homeowner use.
The Homeowner Prep Checklist is best used when a photographer or 3D tour operator has booked a residential listing shoot and needs to brief the seller or listing agent 24–72 hours in advance. It is especially useful for first-time sellers unfamiliar with photo-day expectations, vacant-to-occupied transitions where furniture and personal items need staging guidance, and any shoot where a Matterport or similar 3D walkthrough will be captured alongside stills.

FOR THE HOMEOWNER
Think of the photo and 3D-tour day as your home’s first open house — but with a million potential buyers. The cleaner and more thoughtfully staged it is, the better it shows. Spend 30–60 minutes on the items below the morning of the shoot.
☐ All interior lights ON (lamps, accent, overhead, under-cabinet).
☐ Replace any burned-out bulbs; aim for matching color temperature where possible.
☐ Ceiling fans OFF.
☐ Blinds and curtains OPEN to let in natural light (or all CLOSED for a moodier look — pick one and stay consistent).
☐ Remove personal photographs and religious / political items if you want the home to feel buyer-neutral.
☐ Hide cords, charging cables, and remote controls.
☐ Pet items out of view (bowls, beds, toys, litter box, leash hooks).
☐ Pets out of the home, in a kennel, or with a friend during the shoot.
☐ Trash and recycling bins moved to garage / behind a fence.
☐ Clear all countertops (small appliances, mail, knife block, dish soap bottle, sponges).
☐ No fridge magnets, papers, or kid art on the fridge.
☐ Sink empty, dishes dried and put away.
☐ Stovetop wiped down; remove kettle and trivets unless intentional.
☐ Dining table cleared or set with a simple centerpiece.
☐ Floor swept; rugs straightened.
☐ Pillows fluffed; sofas straightened.
☐ Throw blankets folded or removed.
☐ TV OFF; cables hidden if possible.
