I would use whatever pictures create a true representation... and it's easy to change them when necessary.

We have both every spring!

Give it another month Bob, that snow will melt eventually.

So glad I never have that issue!

I would do whatever you think better represents the property, Bob "RealMan" Timm!  You know your market better than anyone!

And, UGH for the snow into May - I'll bet you ARE ready for summer! Here I sit in 50º weather complaining about it being too cool for spring! I've got nothing to complain about, do I?!

Keep the green grass. It will return!

I use whatever pictures present a true picture of the property to the public.

You know your market best. I am confident that if you feel changing the photos is the right thing to do ... then you will change the photos. 

Nina Hollander nailed this one!

I think you should use the best pictures that will help get the listing noticed.

Use which ever photo you want to use.  BTW my Bday is May 15th.

I'm definiotely with Nina Hollander on this one!

Bob do what you think is best!  The ones that I find crazy are with holiday decorations - way past the holiday!

I would leave 'current' pictures Bob "RealMan" Timm, as they truly represent that area in ND, where the Listed home is.  People looking there would know that snow comes and goes, and can last into May.  I think your pictures look fine, and would not up-date pictures until it's Summer with no predicted snow storms - and then if it is still on the market, I would do the green grass pictures.  I would not do a 'redo' just based on that one person's comment.  HA!

if there's snow on the ground the day the home is listed, the photo will have snow....and when the snow melts, new photos should be taken.... that's all part of being a listing agent.... service the listing properly....

I agree with Nina Hollander .  During our drought most agents showed the gold grass lawns with their photos...The truth shall set you free.  A

Nina hit it correctly, maybe change as the season changes.

When people enter our business and they should stay  out, my approach is "How can this benefit me?"  In refernce to your question, I would love to answer I don't fully understand..Should you change pics and show green grass or should you change the pics because of the snow showing..

Bob "RealMan" Timm Hopefully, the snow will not last long.

Not sure that's necessary if it's a short term change from green to white and won't last

List going light on the exteriors if snow and add when the green grass shows up. It is never once and done with images. Rotations to make the inventory fresh and looking shiny, like a new listing works best. We all market our listings, communities better than our competition in our local zip codes right?

Somewhere I've seen that it may be considered deceptive advertising to post photoshopped or old pics of properties.

Bob, in colder regions, snow does stay a bit longer, and think is fine!  

Yes please!  

I feel good just looking at your picture. We are having 90f week, too hot, I want to live in my fridge....

Good luck.

I get where you are headed with this question ;-)

Not in Boise, but in the Sawtooth National Recreational Area where I worked at a summer camp we sometimes had snow the first week of campers in June.  Made for a fun "summer" camp - especially the swimming in the mountain lakes part of it, lol!  

Leave the green pictures you have, but if they were snowy pictures I'd say leave those too :-)  Have a great week Bob "RealMan" Timm. -Kasey

IMO pictures should represent the house not the weather!

I'm only opposed to Christmas Trees in the shots of February listings.

If iit has not sold be June/July I would say yes.

That person probably wants you to change your photos on a daily basis depending on that day's weather.

Bob "RealMan" Timm - as long as they represent the listing right, you do not need to.

it is a real pic of snow

Do what you think is best, Bob. It is in your best interest to market your properties accurately but nobody is going to judge you for a little snow or not.

North Dakota should have both summer and winter pics

  No.

I'll reshoot the outdoor shots when we've moved on from last season. I prefer summer shots too, they are just better. If there is a pool then I really need to get my hands on some summer shots. Sometimes the owner has some recent photos of the property in summer. If so I'll use those regardless if it's snowing out. What I won't ever do is mix summer & winter shots of the outdoors. 

I got a couple of those comments too when we had a March blizzard and the home goes under comntract a week later and closes 3 weeks later, the pic still had snow in it. Oh well. If it was July 4, i would be worried. 

I stick with green u nless it is December.

If the grass was green when you took the photo and it will be green again in a few days, personally, I wouldn't bother changing the photos... 

Photos should depict the current condition, true picture and image of the property to the best of your ability that is.  If the grass is green one day and snows the next day...leave it until you know the snow is gone, then take a good photo.  I'm not a fan of seeing those bars in the photo so maybe one without that distraction is best.  Interesting how everyone has an opinion of what others are doing...right!

It is a cold feeling give buyer the chills.

Suggest some photos or fireplace burning.

You should just have a camera with a live video feed!  To make everyone happy.

Do what your market dictates. If there is snow, there is snow!

Change them it is done snowing for the year!

Everyone likes a good joke.

If it was one picture...perhaps. If you use the many pictures then the different moods of the home will be presented ...

Yes.

You want great but TRUE pictures show the home in its best light
