Fix what the camera catches first: holes and scuffs on walls, crooked blinds, burned-out bulbs, gaps in trim and doors that hang crooked or will not stay shut. Start with the rooms that will lead the listing, then work outward, and leave paint touch-ups for last so they are dry before the photographer arrives.
Yes, in homes built before 1978. Federal law requires sellers of most pre-1978 housing to disclose known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards before a buyer signs a contract, and paid work that disturbs paint in those homes falls under EPA lead-safe rules once it goes beyond minor repair.
Only minor repair in a home built before 1978: six square feet or less of paint per room inside, or 20 square feet or less outside. Larger areas go to an EPA lead-safe certified firm, and window replacement is always covered by the rule regardless of size.
If the photographer is booked for tomorrow and the punch list is still growing, stop juggling it alone. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can work through the patching, hardware and touch-ups before the shoot.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
