Turning your home into a Smart Home will make your home stand out amongst the homes for sale in your neighborhood. Make it memorable! It's not just the Millennials and Gen Ys desiring a home with smart home technology to keep secure and connected, but even the Baby Boomers look for more convenience in their lives. And they know how to use it!


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.

Smart Home devices are very common place now and the prices are more affordable than every before. You can go to the big box home improvement stores, such as Lowe's and Home Depot, to find a plethora of compatible devices from smart lightbulbs to garage door openers. If you are already invested in Amazon's Alexa series, they also have a wide range of compatible products to chose from.


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.
