Listing media for Steele Creek and the Lake Wylie corridor. Waterfront-adjacent inventory, master-planned communities like Berewick, Cimarron, and The Sanctuary, and the southwest Charlotte growth corridor where aerials sell the lake proximity.
Steele Creek and the 28278 Lake Wylie corridor have what no other Charlotte ZIP has: water proximity. Even non-waterfront homes inside neighborhoods like The Sanctuary, Cimarron, and Berewick sell partly on the boat-club, marina, and lake-access amenities. The aerial shot is what makes that proximity legible. Inside, the inventory is mostly 2005-2020 build with open plans and standard finishes, which means the photo set is straightforward but the aerial has to do the storytelling.
Standard (starts at $595, scales by sqft) on most listings. Waterfront homes add Elite cinematic with B-roll of the lake. ANSI floor plan upgrade available any time you want a verified GLA on the listing.
30-45 image set is the right size. We shoot bracketed exposures on every interior to handle the mixed natural light common in open-plan builds.
