Theater of Homes® tips for successful property videotaping
We are looking forward to videotaping your property! We appreciate in advance your courtesy in respecting our time
limitations and your being as prepared as possible for our visit. We also appreciate in advance your management of
any pets or livestock.
There are two basic themes helpful in this situation. The first: Less is more. Clutter does not best present your
property. The goal is for prospective purchasers to project their own possessions and lifestyles into the setting of your
property. The second: Take a look at your property with the prospective purchaser’s point of view in mind. What
would create interest, appeal and perceived value to you, as a prospective purchaser, in seeing your property?
We at Theater of Homes will do our best to present the very best aspects of your property, and with your help, we will
be as effective as possible. Call us with any questions or difficulties you may have.
We invite you to consider these tips for the day of videotaping your property.
