Video walkthrough instead of a visit

A video walkthrough is the path on a phone. Still photos finish most jobs — photos that get a written price. An in-person walk is when the landing is still a guess — what a walkthrough looks like. This page is how to shoot the middle option. Two ZIP codes on the form: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”

From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. A living-room pan of the sofa does not replace the stair. Walk the route we will walk. I quote what I can see — about.

What to record, in order

• The street and where a truck can sit — both ends if they differ — parking
• Door to the first landing, then the next — stairs and tight turns, walk-ups
• The well where a sofa has to turn — furniture that will not turn
• Awkward pieces in place: piano, safe, china, hot tub, pool table
• Garage door inside and out if we load through it — garage as a room
• Basement flight if laundry or a safe lives there — basement washers

Talk while you walk. Floor count. Lift or no lift. HOA window if you have one — HOA, elevator reservations. A long lot: keep walking until the street — long carry and shuttle, Grandview 71. Town home visitor bay: town homes.

What not to send

Ten stills of the same couch. A dark hallway with the flash off. A Zoom call where we chat and never see the stair. A drone of the roof. Kids and pets in the frame are fine if the path is clear — they still need a plan on the day — kids and pets. We do not need a catalog of every lamp.

If the video still leaves the turn a guess, we will ask to walk it or for one more clip of the landing. After you request a price: after you request a price. What to tell us in the notes: what to tell us. How we quote from ZIPs: how we quote from two ZIP codes.

When video is not enough

A baby grand on a third floor — baby grand ([REAL JOB] stays), piano moves. White glove on new floors we cannot judge from a phone — white glove, white glove vs standard. An estate that is still unmarked — estate and inherited. A smaller destination that may not take the sectional — moving into a smaller place. Ice or mud the morning of is a new photo, not last week’s video — winter moving day, rain and ice, new-construction.

Both ends if they differ

The unload sit is often the one that fails. Record the new doorway if you have keys — keys late. Closing day video of a house you do not own yet is a guess — closing day. Split pickup: a clip at each door — split pickup. Partial rooms: show those rooms, not the whole unused house — partial moves. Rental: the stair and the fire lane, not the deposit punch list — moving out of a rental, landlord walkthrough.

Waldo brick. Midtown. Northland. Independence split-levels. Raytown ranch. Blue Springs garage-first. First apartment: floor and sit — first apartment. Downsizing: keep pile on camera — senior downsizing, what you are not taking, how to thin out. Cleanout: say if most of it is trash — when a cleanout is the job.
