Real estate photography in Columbia & Ellicott City, MD.
HoCo is Columbia's planned villages like Wilde Lake, River Hill and Kings Contrivance around Town Center and Lake Kittamaqundi, the historic district in Ellicott City, the golf community at Turf Valley, and big newer homes in Clarksville and Fulton. It's between DC and Baltimore, about an hour up I-95 from us.
Howard County areas.
Columbia's lakes and paths.
Columbia was planned around lakes, paths and village centers, and homes near them sell on it. We add a few neighborhood frames: Lake Kittamaqundi, the path behind the house, the village center. A reel ($150) shows the walk from the door to the lake better than any caption.
Historic Ellicott City, uphill.
Ellicott City's older homes sit on hillsides, with stone walls, terraces and stairs. We shoot from the street and from the terraces, show how the house steps down the slope, and use a floor plan ($75) so buyers understand levels that don't line up the usual way.
