The Homechecker visit: pro photos, video and floor plan
Your tenants will book without a viewing. The Homechecker’s video tour is the viewing — which makes this visit the highest-leverage hour of your listing’s life.
What the Homechecker produces
A Homechecker is a local Spotahome professional who visits your property once and produces everything a remote tenant needs to trust it:
- High-quality photos of every room
- An HD video tour — the closest thing to a viewing a tenant abroad can get
- 360° images for exploring rooms freely
- An accurate floor plan, so layouts are never a surprise
- Neighbourhood notes that Spotahome copywriters turn into the area description
All of it is included, on every plan. It’s also Spotahome’s trust mechanism: “what you see online is exactly what you get” only works because someone independent saw the place.
Why this protects you too: the tenant has 24 hours from move-in to report anything that does not match the listing. Homechecker media is the listing — independent, accurate, and dated. Disputes about “it looked different online” rarely survive a video tour.
How to prepare the visit
The Homechecker shoots what’s there. One hour of preparation shows up in every booking decision for the next year:
- Clean like a guest is coming — kitchens and bathrooms decide first impressions
- Declutter surfaces: counters, tables, nightstands. Less stuff reads as more space
- Let the light in: open every curtain and blind; turn on every lamp
- Make every bed with your best linen
- Hide the personal: photos, documents, laundry — tenants need to imagine themselves there
- Finish the small repairs you’ve been postponing; a hanging cable shows up in 4K
No Homechecker in your city?
Where Spotahome doesn’t yet have local operations, you upload your own media. Follow the same playbook the pros use: landscape orientation, daylight, every room from its doorway corner, plus one honest photo of the building entrance and the view. A two-minute walkthrough video shot slowly on a phone does most of what an HD tour does.
