Redfin featured Austin 360 owner Luke Nunnally in a July 2026 story about the details sellers can overlook before a home is photographed.

In Redfin's feature, “What Sellers Overlook Before Listing Their Home,” Luke Nunnally spoke about the difference between a room as we live in it and the room as it appears in a listing photograph. Counters, cords, pet items, and personal decor can compete with the home's architecture and usable space.

Look through the camera before the shoot.

Luke's practical advice is to declutter, reduce very personal decor, open blinds for natural light, and create a clean, balanced arrangement. A quick phone photograph can help a seller spot visual distractions that are easy to overlook in everyday life.

Those steps are not about erasing a home's personality. They make the main surfaces, circulation, and natural light easier for a buyer to read. The final professional images should still represent the property accurately.

Prepare the whole gallery.

Start with the exterior and principal rooms, but remember supporting spaces. Clean glass and mirrors, replace burned-out bulbs, clear counters, and remove temporary items from the areas that will be photographed. Our photo checklist can help organize the work before the appointment.
