Whether you’re a real estate agent trying to sell homes, a builder creating new residences, or a couple trying to sell their property it’s always a good idea to consider different ways to attract home buyers. In the past, smart home automation was only enjoyed by a select few. However, builders and real estate companies are starting to realize the advantages of upgrading homes with automation in order to sell properties fast for top dollar. In this blog, we highlight the main features of a smart home that will help you sell an Indianapolis-area residence quicker and easier. 

1. Lighting Control

A well-lit home will appear brighter and more inviting. Not only will a professional lighting installation ensure that the house is well-lit (no uneven spaces or dark corners), but it will also make it easy for the homeowner to manage their lighting while at home or away. Using a mobile device, remote, or touch screen, homeowners can set the lights to come on during a certain day, turn them all on or off by pressing one button and dim the lights to varying levels of brightness. It’s convenient, it can help keep energy bills low, and it’s great for highlighting a home’s décor.

When you are constructing a brand new home, whether it’s in Fishers, Indiana or anywhere in the Indianapolis area, you have an opportunity to install premier (pun intended) audio video that future homeowners will value. Young couples and growing families want high-tech homes--from home theaters with surround sound to outdoor audio. But when you start building a house, do you consider hiring an audio video installer with networking and automation experience to ensure the smart systems will work properly and look stylish? Here are some reasons why working with The Premier Group is a smart idea. 

1. Introduce Smart Audio Video Early in the Construction Process

Couples usually focus on certain interior design elements, like the wood floors, open rooms, spa bathrooms and marble countertops. However, the audio video capabilities are important too. Do they want a home theater or media room? Would they like to listen to music in every space? Families love music and movies, but they may not consider investing in a smart control system until it’s too late. When a builder or designer introduces smart audio video to them early on, you can make sure all of the technical components are there before they even move in. Spots for in-ceiling speakers can be laid out, and isolated rooms for dedicated home theaters can be built. All of the wiring can also be specifically designed to support smart home automation. Establishing these architectural plans and informing the contractor early on means you’ll have happy clients in the end.

2. Gain Trust and Respect in the Community

The more beautiful homes you design or build, the more accolades you’ll receive in the community and the more jobs you’ll get long term. TVs and speakers won’t just be placed in the rooms; they will be a part of the architecture of the house, making it look simple yet sophisticated. Only a true professional has the ability to install in-ceiling speakers and control systems that allow you to enjoy audio video throughout the house. The Premier Group can even make the technology completely invisible with motorized lifts, mirror TVs, and in-wall speakers so that visitors will be impressed.

Most people think that the first line of defense in protecting your home is the security alarm. However, you want to prevent strangers from coming inside your home in the first place. Today’s door locks can be very strong, but what happens if someone forgets to lock them? Or, what do you do if you have a visitor stopping by and need to let them inside? Smart locks give you full, remote access to securing every entry to your home and also the convenience of not having to manage keys.
