Smart Home Technology Can Help You Sell Faster

Making your home stand out from the competition can help your sell faster and for top dollar. It's not just the Millennials and Gen Ys desiring a home with smart home technology that keeps them secure and connected, even Baby Boomers look for more convenience in their lives and they know how to use it! Remember, they are the generation that invented the home computer!


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

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

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

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

  4. Audio / Visual - Personal assistant such as Alexa or Siri, TVs, music, etc.


If you want to get started with Smart Home technology it's affordable and accessible. The big box home improvement stores have a lot of compatible devices that can be purchased and installed quickly. Home Depot and Lowe's have a plethora of items to select from. If you are already invested in Amazon's Alexa series, they have a variety of compatible devices from light bulbs to garage door openers (my personal safety favorite).


With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy and inexpensive to get started. Setting your home up with Smart Home devices can be a great marketing tool, and make your home memorable, without too much out of pocket.
