Real Estate Agent Prep Checklist — WGAN 2026 form template.
Last updated
The Real Estate Agent Prep Checklist is a 2026 WGAN master template designed for listing agents coordinating a residential photo or 3D-tour shoot. It organizes pre-shoot, shoot-day, and post-shoot tasks into timed checklists spanning T-48 hours through MLS delivery. The template is formatted for U.S. general use and is intended to be paired with a companion Homeowner Prep Checklist (STG-001) to align sellers, agents, and photographers before capture day.
Use the Real Estate Agent Prep Checklist any time a listing agent is coordinating a professional photo shoot, Matterport 3D tour, or drone capture for a residential listing. It is especially useful when multiple parties — sellers, stagers, inspectors, or contractors — must be scheduled around a single shoot window, or when the property is in an HOA community with drone or commercial-photography restrictions.

FOR THE LISTING AGENT
These are the steps that separate a smooth shoot day from a chaotic one. Run through the list 24–48 hours before the Photographer arrives. Pair it with the Homeowner Prep Checklist (STG-001) for your seller.
☐ Send the Homeowner Prep Checklist (STG-001) to the seller. Confirm receipt.
☐ Confirm the Capture Date, time, and access method (lockbox, key, code, meet onsite) with the Photographer.
☐ Confirm property prep timeline — when can the seller be off-site with pets?
☐ Confirm anyone who needs to be on-site (inspector, stager, contractor) is scheduled before or after — not during — the shoot.
☐ Verify HOA / community rules don’t prohibit drone or commercial photography.
☐ Send the seller staging tips for any high-impact spaces (primary suite, kitchen, entry).
☐ Identify the marquee shot or hero feature you most want photographed.
☐ Re-confirm with the Photographer via the Photographer’s preferred channel.
☐ Confirm weather forecast — flag if outdoor or aerial shots need to reschedule.
☐ Remind the seller to charge any keyless-entry batteries and disable cameras in private areas.
☐ Send any HOA or building access instructions (gate code, garage door, escort requirements).
☐ Send a copy of the signed engagement (REC-001/002/003) and any required releases (REL-001 / REL-002 / REL-003).
☐ Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the Photographer if you’ll be on-site.
☐ Walk through the property with the Photographer at start: hero shots, exclusions, sensitive items.
