The Smart Home Primer – your guide and how to use it

Introducing the Smart Home Primer, a one page summary of?key Smart Home concepts and principles. The Smart Homes topic is a big one; rapidly changing and evolving, and very difficult for consumers and agents to understand and make meaningful and relevant.?

Our Smart Home Primer will allow you to provide a framework and context, helping your clients to organize their thinking and make Smart Home decisions that meet their personal family needs and lifestyles.

As the public becomes more aware of the Smart Home landscape, we can anticipate and prepare for many questions from our clients.?

For example:

“I am looking for an agent with a working knowledge of Smart Homes.??What is your experience in representing buyers and sellers of these smart residences??

I have heard this one many times: “What is your definition of a Smart Home?” How would you answer?

The Smart Home Primer states:

“A Smart Home is one in which the owner has explored the available technologies, chosen systems which make sense for their home and lifestyle and adapted those Smart Systems to their family’s specific needs and preferences.”

Many clients will be choosing their agent based on his or her Smart Home knowledge and experience. Will you be ready?

The Smart Home Primer is a great way to get started. It sets out key Smart Home concepts, clearly and logically. It enables you to help your clients have a frame of reference for applying Smart Home principles to their individual family needs.??
