COVID-19 Response

In response to the current COVID-19 crisis, Lone Star Virtual Tours has initiated photography protocols to reduce the possibility of clients and loved ones becoming exposed. For occupied homes, please use the checklist below to prepare for the photoshoot. We ask that you leave the home for approximately one hour. Our photographers will wear all the required protective gear.

It is not uncommon for realtors to participate in a photoshoot. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, it might be necessary to arrive at the home prior to the photoshoot to complete last-minute staging efforts.
