I have seen it so many times, a face of mixed emotions, one of relief (that it’s almost over) and another of disbelief (it was way harder than I thought).

What am I talking about? This is what I see when I show up to take real estate photos of homes. When I arrive, I can always tell when a home owner has been working endlessly to get their home ready. All the hours of cleaning, decluttering, painting, fixing loose door handles, shampooing carpets and on and on and on. For a majority of home owners they take on these tasks on their own. Sometimes they know what they are getting into and others (more often) just underestimate the amount of work involved, but it does pay off.
