Social Media + Pro Media: Boosting Realtor Reach in Alaska ❄️📲

If you’ve ever poured your energy into a listing, posted it on social media… and heard crickets, you’re not alone.

The truth is, social media and professional media need each other.
Great-looking content with no strategy? Gets buried.
Lots of posting with low-quality visuals? People scroll right past.

When you put those two together—pro photos + video + drone + smart posting—that’s when your listings (and your brand) start to really show up.

This is especially true in Alaska, where buyers are often:

• Scrolling from Anchorage, Eagle River, Wasilla, Palmer, or the Kenai Peninsula

• Browsing from out of state and dreaming about moving north

• Making first impressions based almost entirely on what they see on a screen

Let’s break down how you can use social media and pro media together to boost your reach as an Alaska Realtor.

Why Social Media Matters So Much for Alaska Realtors

Social media isn’t just “extra marketing” anymore. It’s where:

• Buyers discover new listings

• Sellers quietly watch how you market your current listings

• Your personal brand gets built—post by post

People check:

• Facebook for local real estate and community groups

• Instagram for pretty homes, reels, and quick tours

• Sometimes TikTok and YouTube for longer-form walkthroughs

If you’re only relying on MLS and not consistently showing up on social, you’re missing:

• Extra eyes on each listing

• A chance to show how you market homes

• A way to stay top of mind with your sphere and past clients

But here’s the key: on social, visual quality is what gets people to stop scrolling.

Why Pro Media Is the Secret Ingredient

Social media is where you post.
Pro media is what you post.

When your content is built from high-quality listing media, everything changes:

1. Pro Photos = Scroll-Stopping Thumbnails

Crisp, bright, well-composed photos:

• Pop in the feed

• Make your posts look polished and professional

• Make even a “normal” home look worth clicking on

Side-by-side with quick phone photos, your listings will look noticeably better—which quietly upgrades how people see you as an agent.

2. Video Walkthroughs = Perfect Reel & Story Content 🎥

Buyers love seeing homes in motion:

• Short clips of walking into the entry

• A pan around the main living space

• A smooth shot through the kitchen into the dining room

Those 10–30 second clips make great Reels, Stories, and short posts.

You’re not just saying “New listing—check it out.”
You’re literally showing people what it feels like to walk through the home.

3. Drone = Instant “Wow” Factor from Above 🚁

In Alaska, drone isn’t just “cool,” it’s useful:

• Show off views, surroundings, and privacy

• Give context to where the home sits in relation to roads, water, or mountains

• Help out-of-area buyers understand more than just the front façade

A single drone shot can be:

• Your cover photo

• A high-performing social post

• A standout image in a carousel

4. 3D Tours & Floor Plans = Save Time, Get Serious Buyers

On social media, you can link to:

• Full 3D virtual tours

• Floor plans buyers can reference while they scroll

This helps:

• Buyers pre-qualify the home for themselves

• Reduce “just curious” showings

• Attract more serious, better-prepared buyers

You’re not just posting pretty content; you’re posting helpful content.

How to Turn Pro Media into Social Media Content (Without Overthinking It)

You don’t need a 40-page content calendar. Start simple.

Here are some easy plug-and-play ideas using media from DMD Real Estate Photography Alaska:

1. Launch Post: “Just Listed”

Use:

• 1 exterior photo

• 3–5 of the best interior shots

Caption idea:

Just Listed in [City] 🏡
Bright, welcoming, and move-in ready.
3 bed • 2 bath • [Key feature like “updated kitchen” or “mountain views”]

Want the full photo tour + video walkthrough?

2. Video Reel: “Quick Walkthrough”

Use:

• A 10–30 second clip from the video walkthrough

Caption idea:

Walk Through with Me 🎥
Step inside this new [City] listing—open concept living, natural light, and a layout that actually makes sense.

Full photos, 3D tour, and details linked in bio.

3. Drone Highlight: “Location, Location”

Use:

• A sweeping drone shot over the property and surroundings

Caption idea:

This is Why Location Matters 😍
Not just a home—check out the lot, surroundings, and views on this [City/area] property.

Thinking about buying or selling in [Area]? Let’s talk about how your home can look online.

4. Before/After Style: “Why Media Matters”

If you have a past example, show:

• A “basic” style shot (no need to call out anyone)

• The upgraded DMD photo

Caption idea:

Same Room. Different Story.
Lighting, angles, and editing can completely change how a space feels online.

This is what professional media does for your listing—and your brand.

How This Helps You Beyond Just One Listing

When you consistently post pro-level content, you’re doing more than marketing a single property. You’re quietly telling the world:

• “This is how I show up for my sellers.”

• “My listings always look like this.”

• “I take marketing seriously.”

That helps you:

• Win future listing appointments

• Stand out from agents who rarely show their work

• Build trust with people who are watching you for months before they reach out

Your social feed becomes a living portfolio of how you treat listings.
