Why Partnering with Us Makes Sense
Including our team early in the build process gives your homes a distinct and marketable edge. First, smart-enabled homes sell faster—up to 8.5 days sooner on average—and typically command $5,000 to $10,000 more in resale value. By pre-wiring during construction, you avoid the high cost and complexity of post-sale retrofits, especially for essential systems like security, lighting, and home networking.
Buyers today expect more than basic features—they want integrated solutions that improve safety, comfort, and efficiency. Over 52% of homeowners report feeling significantly safer in homes equipped with smart security. On top of that, smart technology can save homeowners up to $1,180 per year on energy and utility costs—value that translates directly into higher satisfaction and stronger referrals.
