On This Episode:

There aren’t many aspects of a home that haven’t been improved by some type of smart technology. We see it from doorbells to locks to refrigerators, and you’ve probably thought about making an upgrade.

Today we’ll answer a mailbag question about whether adding smart locks and other technology is a good idea before moving and whether the neighborhood makes a difference. Colleen will give you her opinion and let you know how she typically advises people.

Plus, we’ll get to a few other questions that you’ve sent in that cover buying a home that’s been on the market a long time, marketing during COVID, and downsizing.

Colleen Quotes:

“What we absolutely do for every home that we’re selling is we provided booties and hand sanitizer in the house, and we try to have all the doors open and all the lights on so the buyers and their agent don’t have to touch anything.”
