If you gain a new listing that is equipped with smart home technology, would you know how to showcase them? Knowing how to highlight the latest devices, such as smart thermostats and outlets, cameras, voice assistants, and EV chargers, can help you turn a simple showing into a smart opportunity.

Include the Smart Features in the Listing Description

Don’t underestimate the draw of a smart home. Energy saving, easy remote access, home interconnectivity, environmentally friendly, and increased security are all benefits that can boost the interest for your listing.

Ask the Homeowner for Tips

While you don’t want to overwhelm anyone with too much information, you should have a solid grasp of the details. Before an open house or showing, find out if you’ll need Wi-Fi access or if any apps need to be downloaded. Do a test run so you aren’t learning as you are demonstrating.

Go Beyond a Feature List

Besides making a list of all the tech in the home, add signage near the video doorbell or above the digital sprinkler control panel that explains what the gadget does. Is it voice-activated? Have the potential buyers try it out. Additionally, set the features to showcase themselves by automating music or lights to go on when someone enters a room.

And don’t forget to ask which devices the seller might want to exclude from the sale. Decide if you want to swap them out before showing the home.
