Remember the Jetsons, that futuristic family from the popular ‘60s cartoon? Their house had all types of neat gadgets and gizmos that you probably wished for in your own life. Believe it  or not, today’s tech is making these “homes of the future” accessible now — and it’s more practical than you might think.   
 
In this month’s flyer, we’re taking a look at some recent smart home innovations. You’ll learn what these are and why they’re starting to catch on in the “real world.” We're also sharing a few of the latest products that will allow you to make coffee with a voice command or turn off the lights from the grocery store.
 
In fact, these kinds of smart technologies are actually increasing the value of homes, making them more attractive to potential buyers. Circle a few that you might want to include in your own home. Give us a call if you’re wondering what this technology could do to increase the value of your home!

As your trusted real estate professional, we want to keep you up-to-date on the market. One real estate buzzword you may have recently heard is “iBuyer.” These are mostly online companies that make an instant offer on your home, buy it, list it and sell it to someone else. In light of these developments, we want to provide context on this latest addition to the real estate space and explain why a real estate pro is still the most cost-effective and convenient way to buy or sell your home. 

In a world where you can buy or sell a home with the click of a button, the work of a real estate agent becomes even more critical. Sure, you may be able to perform an actual sale on the web, but the extra perks an agent provides simply can’t be replaced by the internet. If you’ve ever worked with a real estate pro before, you know that this process is much more than just a clickable transaction.
 
To show you what we mean, we want to share a few of our “not-so-hidden talents” with you this month. These are some skills, benefits and knowledge we provide in addition to assisting you with buying or selling your home. You’ll also find a few numbers speaking to the high-quality work real estate agents provide for their clients. It is our hope you grasp a completely new perspective on what a great real estate professional can do for you.
 
We will always strive to provide you with an unparalleled level of service with anything you may need, regardless of whether it’s real estate related or not. Need a referral for a great contractor? Have a question about these topics? Give us a call — we would be honored to serve you.
