And in today’s highly connected world, that means a home that’s every bit as smart as it is beautiful. Highly advanced, innovative and fully integrated technology designed to make life simpler, safer and more efficient is increasingly sought after and even expected among high-net-worth individuals. What makes a home “smart,” though? Realizing that there was some confusion in the marketplace, Coldwell Banker partnered with CNET, the world’s largest and most trusted online source of consumer technology news and reviews, to develop a clear, concise definition of the term “smart home.” Our feature article explores the definition, while showcasing some of the many advantages and lifestyle enhancements smart home technology brings to a home’s comfort, security, entertainment and design. ® No longer something from a sci-fi movie, the connected home is now reality. Its influence is evident in everything from home pricing to curb appeal to how we move through our daily lives. By being at the forefront of this advancement, Coldwell Banker is uniquely equipped to help luxury home buyers and sellers understand the current trends and benefits of smart home technology – and, of course, help you find a beautiful home with the smart home features you want most.
