Why Marketing REO in Alaska is Different

Alaska's vast wilderness means that simply driving to a property isn't always an option. Some listings require transportation by helicopter, snowmobile, or off-road vehicles, depending on weather conditions. The logistics of showcasing an REO property here demand expertise, flexibility, and an experienced team prepared for any terrain.
Many asset managers underestimate the geographical and market complexities of selling distressed properties in Alaska. Without a hyper-local marketing approach, listings can sit for months, failing to attract qualified buyers.
Barbara's Perspective:
One winter, we needed to photograph an REO property, but there was no road access—just miles of untouched snow. We coordinated a snowmobile team and got the shots we needed despite subzero temperatures. Another time, a property was only reachable by helicopter, so we made that happen, too. That's what it takes to sell REO in Alaska: adaptability, skill, and knowing the right people to call.
A national firm once told me they couldn't understand why one of their Alaska properties wasn't moving. I took one look at their marketing and saw the problem—they were treating it like a suburban home in the Lower 48! No drone shots, no mention of winter accessibility, and no local buyer outreach. We stepped in, revamped the strategy, and had it under contract in weeks. That's the difference local knowledge makes.
