The 24-Hour Listing Prep Checklist
This free must-have tool to master the critical window before production day and ensure your listing launches flawlessly.
You've done everything right. The home is staged. The photographer is booked. Launch day is tomorrow.
Then you get the text:
"Can we push the shoot by an hour?"
"The stager needs to swing back through."
"Wait—did anyone confirm the lockbox code?"
The photos happen. But the lighting is off.
The video feels rushed.
The shots don't match the potential you saw when you listed it.
And suddenly, you're wondering…
"What did I miss?"
"Why does this always feel so last-minute?"
"How do the pros make this look effortless?"
You don't need to work harder. You need a system.
A system that turns the final 24 hours into a calm, coordinated countdown—where every detail is handled, every stakeholder is aligned, and your creative team arrives to a production-ready property.
