When I select a date for photography, is that a final date?
No. The date you select represents when you are telling us the home is available to shoot.
We will then contact you with the first available good time for your shoot based our calendar and on the best time of day for that home.
Why does time of day matter for a home?
We prefer to have the sun on the front of the home to eliminate shadows and make the home more warm and appealing.
