Turn Your Home Into a Smart Home

Smart Home technology can help you sell your home faster and stand out from the other homes for sale in the minds of the buyers! Millennials and Gen Ys may be the largest groups wanting a home with technology that keeps them secure and connected, but they aren’t the only ones. Yes, even the Baby Boomers are looking for more convenience in their lives.

1. Connecting devices to your smart phone can save energy, money, and time. There are four categories of smart devices:

2. Utilities - Thermostat, light bulbs, sprinkler, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, stove, washer and dryer, powered window shades, etc.

3. Safety - Wireless key entry, doorbell, garage door, outdoor lighting, etc.

4. Security - Burglar alarm, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, or any sensor that triggers a call for emergency assistance.

5. 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. 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.

The best news is that Smart Home Technology doesn't have to cost an arm and leg. You can purchase a variety of devices that connect to your Echo Dot or any other smart home device at the big box home improvement store like Home Depot and Lowes. Even Amazon carries a lot of devices at great prices that are compatible with their Alexa series.
