The Written Plan & Photo-Day Sequence

Advice given aloud during a walk fades by the next morning, and sellers relying on memory tend to finish the easy items and skip the ones that matter. At Riviera Edit, every recommendation is written down room by room and tagged KEEP, MOVE, STORE, PAINT, LIGHT, BUY, RENT, or LEAVE. We rank each item by impact against cost, so the first line of the plan is always the one worth doing first. Coverage runs across room function, paint, lighting, furniture plan, window treatments, art, declutter, and storage.

Preparation is a sequencing problem as much as a design problem. We include a photo-day sequence that puts messy work first, cosmetic work second, and final styling last, so nothing is undone the morning the photographer arrives. At Riviera Edit, the plan also carries a one-page summary written for your listing agent, which keeps everyone working from the same list. Empty rooms are marked BUY or RENT, giving you clear options for filling them on your own terms.

We deliver the full plan as a PDF within 48 hours, with a printed copy on request, and we email it directly to your listing agent on the same timeline. At Riviera Edit, the report is written by the same two people who walked your home, so nothing is lost between observation and write-up. Our listing experience lets us flag the items buyers tend to raise and the ones they rarely notice. You end up with a document specific enough to hand to a painter, an organizer, or a partner without translation.
