If you’re a realtor in Seattle, WA, you know that people are looking for homes. With a dramatic increase in home value -- up 93% over the past 10 years -- it’s more of a challenge than ever to sell homes as properties start to dwindle (with a steep drop in available homes from 5,085 in 2009 to just 973 in early 2018.) With those kinds of numbers, you need to make your Seattle properties stand out, and smart home security technology can help. How? We’ll show you the important numbers you need to know when it comes to staging a property with a smart system.

Building a smart home starts with the essentials, and nothing's more essential than smart lighting control. Whether you want to set the mood for a dinner party, enjoy a safer environment, or quickly shut down at the end of the night, there are plenty of benefits to a smart lighting system. With one touch, you can transform the look of your property. To find out three great ways you can get the most out of your system, keep reading.

Smart home automation is a lot of fun, and it can help make your lifestyle easier. From the moment you wake up in the morning to the time your head hits the pillow at night, you interact with technology. Automation streamlines the devices you use, allowing them to fall into the background of your daily life while providing even greater access to their benefits.

But if there’s one area that often goes overlooked in adding automation technology to the home, it’s the home networking system. While it’s relatively easy to add some individual devices to your property, you need to make sure your network can support them. How do you do that? Distinctive Audio-Video can help. Find out below.

What can you do to make the next batch of homes you build stand out to potential customers?

Depending on building codes, zoning rules, and other factors, there may be only so much you can do in terms of interior or exterior design features. This limits how distinctive you can make your homes, and that gives potential buyers little incentive to choose you over the competition. So, what do you do?

One way to make your next building project stand out is to install home lighting control systems. Home lighting control is a great way to add pizazz to a home while boosting curb appeal and creating extra value in the eyes of buyers. We have a lot of experience with home lighting control at Distinctive Audio Video; read on to learn all the different ways it can boost your Seattle business.
