How to Prepare a Home for a 3D Tour: The Details the Camera Sees
3D tours are brutally honest. They capture everything: clutter, cords, dust, pet toys, crooked bed skirts. The camera doesn’t blur or hide anything — which is why prep is so important.
Here’s how to prepare so your 3D tour looks clean, inviting, and buyer-ready.
1. Remove Personal Items
This includes:
mail
medications
family photos
calendars
visible paperwork
3D is fully navigable — buyers zoom in on everything.
2. Hide All Cords
Phone chargers
Lamps
Power strips
Wi-fi routers
Cable boxes
3D tours expose every wire.
3. Clear Countertops
Especially in:
kitchens
bathrooms
laundry rooms
Minimal surfaces = spacious appearance.
4. Open All Interior Doors
The camera needs flow.
Closed doors = confusing navigation.
5. Remove Pets and Pet Items
This includes:
pet crates
bowls
toys
scratching posts
6. Make Beds Perfect
Wrinkled sheets can ruin an otherwise perfect room.
7. Avoid Midday Harsh Sun

With photos, I can angle around clutter.
