Good point, Mr. Dean. The point here is that snow is so rare here in Middle Tennessee that (1) we are painting and inaccurate picture and (2) it does indeed “date” our photos.

We’ll hit dead lawns, leaves and bushes in a future topic

To take a slightly different approach, buyers (especially unrepresented) tend to be very conscious of the Days on Market stigma. DOM is not something that the general public can see, so a picture can give them an idea.

If it recently snowed and there is a house with snow on it, then it looks like a house that just went on the market. Contrast that with a picture surrounded by beautiful flowers and a lush lawn, and that house may have been on the market since May.

IMO, a lazy Realtor isn’t one that takes a picture with snow on the ground. It is one who uses an iPhone, uploads only 5 pictures, and there are animals or people in the shots.

And really, is a GOOD picture of a house with snow on the ground any worse than a dead lawn, leaf-less tree, and wilted bushes?

Well Said Brian, Well said. I always try to see if the home owner has a great spring time picture of their home to get us through the winter months. If not well then we just make the best of it and keep updating the photos.

Snow in most pictures (especially the south like Texas) is just a lazy agent at work.
