If you're placing photography orders in fifteen different metro areas, you don't have someone who can just drive by a listing to make sure it's ready.
You're trusting that the lockbox works, the lights are on, and the lawn doesn't look abandoned, sight unseen, right up until the photographer shows up and tells you otherwise. By then it's too late to fix anything before the shoot.
That's the gap the Pre-Listing Checklist is built for. It's a separate visit from the photo shoot, run by a local field runner, and it happens before a photographer is ever scheduled.
It costs $85, flat, in any market we cover.
What's actually in it
The field runner isn't just walking around and glancing at things. They go in with a specific list:
- Confirm they can get into the property
- Test the lockbox and the keys
- Turn on the lights in every room
- Run the water
- Note whether the home reads as vacant or occupied
- Check the condition of the front and back yard
- Assess whether the inside needs cleaning before a camera goes anywhere near it
They photograph the exterior, the interior, every entry point, and the lockbox itself, and it all lands in your HomeJab account.
Why this saves you a trip
The real value isn't the checklist itself, it's what it catches.
A lockbox with a dead battery. A house that's still occupied when the listing says vacant. Water that's been shut off. A lawn nobody's touched in a month.
Any of those would normally get discovered by the photographer, on the clock, with nothing they can do about it except shoot around the problem or reschedule.
Catching it a few days earlier means you can send a locksmith, a cleaner, or a lawn crew before the shoot instead of after.
It gets flagged automatically
When the field runner submits their report, anything that needs attention, a broken lockbox, an occupied property, an overgrown lawn, gets flagged for our office to review before a photographer is ever assigned.
You're not the one parsing field notes to figure out whether something's wrong.
Ordering it at scale
One property is a five-minute order at homejab.com/listing-prep.
If you're placing this across a lot of properties in a lot of markets, you don't have to do it one at a time. HomeJab's Order API lets you pull available packages and place orders straight from your own platform, so a pre-listing checklist can sit in the same workflow as everything else you already schedule with us.
And if you'd rather stay inside an AI assistant, HomeJab also runs an MCP server for tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Give it the address and what you need, and it books the visit without you touching a dashboard.
Whether you're ordering one property or five hundred, the goal is the same: know what you're dealing with before the photographer arrives, not after.
