Home Improvements that Help Sell Faster


Make your home stand out from the other homes on the market for sale! Turn it into a Smart Home for pennies. Just like every technology, prices come down and competition heats up. 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!


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 technology can be found locally or online. If you check out your big box home improvement stores such as Home Depot or Lowe's, you will find a lot of compatible devices for excellent prices. Already invested in the Alexa Series from Amazon? They too have a plethora of devices from smart bulbs to garage door openers (my personal 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.
