3 Tips To Help Realtors Sell A Smart Home

3 Tips To Help Realtors Sell A Smart Home

Thanks to Google, it’s only a matter of time before you find yourself selling a “smart home”.Below, I share three tips on how to market them for a real estate agent.

The homes listed by your real estate brokerage are getting a lot smarter. Google made big news last month by investing 3.2 billion in Nest Labs, a company that makes smart thermostats and smoke detectors.



It’s all part of the Internet of Things, embedded intelligence that allows objects to communicate via a central network and software. Smart electronic technology is popping up in everything from bicycle wheels to crockpots

With an estimated $19 trillion market ahead, it’s gaining steam. What does this mean for you as an agent? In short: Agents need to learn and love smart-home technology.

Here are three tips for showing and selling the smart home:

1.Learn the technology: Spend time with the owners or contractors learning the software. Take inventory of every smart feature in the home. What is controllable by app? Thermostat? Window blinds? Lights? Door locks? Practice. When showing the home, you don’t want to fumble and balk, flickering lights when you should be lowering window shades. Andyou’re your customers use smart home App to control their new house, feel the different from others. 

2. Love the technology: If you don’t love smart home already, figure out its benefits. Talk to the owners or contractors. What do they love about it? Make a list and write them down. Keep the list on hand. 

Do they love the extra security of being able to check whether the doors are locked while on vacation 1,000 miles away? Are they able to lower the living room blinds from their office at work on an unexpectedly hot day? Has a smart thermostat saved money on heating and cooling? 

3. Create a simple guide: Understand the comfort level of your clients when dealing with what may be smart home tech to them. Some may embrace it eagerly. It becomes a strong selling point. Others may hesitate. It could become a deterrent. Provide short, step-by-step guides that simplify the process. 

When the opportunity comes your way, remember that selling a smart home takes thoughtful strategy and a little extra preparation.

Too Many Gimmick of Wearable Device, the Market Is Not Mature

Recently, Apple is preparing to launch its wearable products to the market, the long-awaited i-watch. According to Reuters News on May 6th, Apple hopes to create a new mobile medical platform with iwatch. But insiders are not optimistic. In fact, the wearable devices were several ups and downs in the past few years. Many international giants all launched their smart wearable products. In April of 2012, Google launched the GoogleGlass, a portable device with the function of smart phone, GPS and camera, which is only a few ounces. Users can operate through voice commands, inside the glass there are micro-camera and head-mounted display system, through which the date can be projected to the small screen in front of users’ right eyes. It also has the functions of smart phones, can take a photo, make a video call, distinguish the directions, surf the internet, deal with the messages and emails. Then, various smart shoes, smart watch, “lord of the ring”, even gloves can make a call, shoes can charge phones, trousers can update state, underwear can deal with messages etc. Smart wearable devices appear thick and fast. 
But in fact, most of these products are written in water. The market response is very cold, even the hardcore fans don’t show respect. The users try these devices begin to trash talk. Now some wearable devices, seems cool, but have many problems in the application of daily life. For example, the main function of most smart watches can realize the count of running, GPS and take photos with remote control service. Actually these applications can be realized in the smart phones. But the smart watch cannot replace the smart phone, even can realize the whole function only with the smart phone, which is really useless. The insiders think the smart watch is more like a mini iPodtouch without any innovation. 
Moreover, the battery is also a problem. Also take an example of smart watch. Decades ago, watches do not need to be winded every day, and the quartz watch can used three to five years without changing the battery. But in the times of smart watch, it has to be charged every day. Most consumers use a few days, then lose interests, and put it aside and do not want to use it any more.
Insiders said that at present most wearable devices is still for some customers, cannot provide too much value-added features. If the phones can solve these problems, how many consumers are willing to spend this big money, which is a big problem.
Of course, it doesn’t mean a bleak future of wearable devices. But at this moment, those wearable devices seeming full of cool features are difficult to attract the attention of consumers. Those manufacturers interested in developing similar products, should be down-to-earth and make the function of these devices more useful and close to the consumers. Then the wearable devices can really get the recognition of consumers.
For example, the Cloud Blood Pressure Meter of Wulian, is a product like this. The Cloud Blood Pressure Meter doesn’t have any useless value-added functions, but it is for the tracking of human health. Based on ZigBee technology, its power consumption is very small, so it can last for a long time without frequent changing battery. Cloud Blood Pressure Meter can continually capture the user's physiological indicators of blood pressure, pulse, etc., in the event of abnormal data, it will warning, and send data to the doctors, the doctors can judge the health status and accordingly give medical advice. This will not only save public resources, can also share the information, which will provide a more timely and effective health care services to users.

Okay, firstly, I want to ask one question, after see this, what do you think? For me, first I think it seems to do a big system about Artificial Intelligence project. What do you think the future life? As we know, human as the only Senior intelligence Biological are looking for the same Senior intelligence Biological all the time, but unfortunately, nothing get. So we are infatuated with Artificial Intelligence. These years, we found so many smart or intelligent things or products appear in our life, like smart phone, smart TV, smart home, Robot etc, We are so fanatical to create smart products to change our life. According to this, so we can understand what’s the future life Google think, Artificial Intelligence products are made up our new life. We can “communicate”with products,. We can “communicate” with the natural.

Do you remember the film about Jobs?  when Jobs asked Cook, what do you think the smart phone?  Cook said that was natural extension of the human. Maybe that were  real life in the future, so some big company like Apple, Google are focusing on these areas and relation tech all the time. 

So Google purchase Nest, not means it will go into smart home area, it means Google will put smart home into its big system about Artificial Intelligence. Not just home, all the buildings, machine, traffic etc, all the items in our life will be into its Artificial Intelligence. ecosphere . It also means a new era is coming , that is Artificial Intelligence era. 

New era must occur new huge and great companies, so Google has to purchase companies to build its king, it worries about these new companies which have Artificial Intelligence tech to beat it. But this era also is a disruptive Innovation era, so there must have some new companies will be the new king in this era. Wulian IoT sensor technology Co.,ltd, it is one of them, it focus on home automation system and solutions now, in the future, it will cover all the things in our life, it’s home automation system will change the whole world and crate a new life style in the future . 

So in the 2014, we will see more and more Artificial Intelligence technology companies will be purchased by Google, but only the ones which stand by their own feet can be the new king in the new era.
