In this episode of The Pixl Marketing Show, Pete sits down with Dave Davis of DMD Real Estate Photography to break down what it really takes to build and scale a real estate media business across multiple markets.


Dave shares his journey from action sports photography to becoming one of Alaska’s top real estate media teams — and why scaling forced him to rethink everything from shooting style to systems and CRMs. We dive into:


  • Why scaling with flash photography became a bottleneck
  • How outsourcing, HDR, and AI changed the barrier to entry
  • The realities of managing teams across Alaska, Utah, and New Mexico
  • Lessons learned from years inside Zoho — and why PixlCRM finally replaced it
  • What systems actually matter when you’re expanding into new markets


If you’re a growth-minded real estate media business owner trying to move from doing everything yourself to running a scalable operation, this episode is a must-listen.
