Technology & Smart Homes

Modern homes are becoming smarter, more connected, and more energy efficient than ever. With a background in technology and decades of experience working with complex systems, I enjoy exploring how technology can improve the way we live in our homes.

Technology is transforming how we design, build, and live in our homes. From energy efficiency and security to home networking and automation, smart home systems can make homes more comfortable, safer, and easier to manage. My goal is to help homeowners and buyers understand these technologies so they can make thoughtful decisions when buying, building, or upgrading a home. Here are a some featured topics to look for in the near future:

Featured Topics

• Smart home basics: What devices make a home “smart,” and which ones actually add value for homeowners.

• Energy efficiency & Smart Climate Control: Smart thermostats, energy monitoring, and ways technology can reduce utility costs.

• Home networking & WiFi: Why modern homes need strong networking infrastructure and how to design it correctly. Fiber internet vs cable, whole house data wiring

• Home security & monitoring: Smart locks, cameras, lighting automation, and ways to improve safety.

• Designing a tech friendly home: Planning wiring, networking, and equipment when building or renovating a home.

• Technology in custom home builds: How technology planning can make a new home far more functional. Creating documents for builders to use (communication!), whole house water filtration on a budget, RO filtration for drinking water, whole house surge suppressors, 3D design tools to help visualize your space before building, home offices, EV charging, future proofing (like we did for our phantom screens)

Technology is increasingly influencing home values and buyer expectations. Features like high-speed internet infrastructure, energy efficiency, EV charging, and integrated smart systems are becoming important considerations for many buyers. Understanding these features can help homeowners make smart investments and help buyers evaluate homes more effectively.
