If you are preparing your home to sell, you want your home to stand out and be memorable to receive the highest price. Turning your home into a Smart Home will keep your home in the minds of the potential buyers! Buyers from all generations - Millennials, Gen Ys, and Baby Boomers -- want a technologically advanced home that provides security, connectivity, and convenience. Connecting devices to your smart phone can save energy, money, and time. There are four types of smart devices:
Utilities - Thermostat, light bulbs, sprinkler, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, stove, washer and dryer, powered window shades, etc.
Safety - Wireless key entry, doorbell, garage door, outdoor lighting, etc.
Security - Burglar alarm, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, or any sensor that triggers a call for emergency assistance.
Audio / Visual - Personal assistant such as Alexa or Siri, TVs, music, etc.
With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy to get started. Even your local big box home improvement stores sell all kinds of devices for smart home technology, such as Home Depot and Lowes. If you own an Alexa device, Amazon has a great selection of compatible devices for great prices as well! Setting your home up with Smart Home devices can be a great marketing tool, and make your home stand out, without too much out of pocket.
