Choosing the right smart home devices can be insane, especially with so many on the market. And, while consolidating these devices with a smart home hub is a great way to stay on top of the smart devices already in your home, finding the best smart home hubs is a daunting task in itself.
Here are a few excellent ways to find the best smart home hub for your household.
Choose your smart hub based on your needs
Every homeowner's needs are different. Some have a slew of connected devices such as smart speakers, smart televisions and other entertainment devices hooked up to their hub and require a voice assistant with a specific set of features.
Likewise, another homeowner may have more basic needs such as security cameras, utility monitoring and help keeping up with the grocery list via smart fridge. They may only need a quick reminder from an app on their phone, and a quick tap of the finger without many add-ons.
When choosing your smart hubs, be sure to really analyze what's important to you. You'll also want to consider the security settings within each hub and what types of security settings sit best with your comfort of use.
Choosing to make your home a smart home doesn't have to be an alarming chore. Just take a little time to assess your needs and the features you'd like to have, and you're well on your way to a more convenient home lifestyle.

What sets your team apart from other real estate teams?
There is no team out in the market that offers what we do. All of us are Realtors, but
we each have specialized roles, which make our team so unique!
After decades of living and selling real estate in the DMV, we have established
ourselves as one of the top real estate teams with our market expertise and
cutting-edge technology. Our savvy high-tech marketing is on every website
and social media source. We have a huge network with other top agents, which
helps to premarket homes and discover homes for buyers before they reach the
open market. Our services include professional in-house staging services, broker
expertise in negotiating and navigating contracts, and buyer representation in all
price ranges. Each client has different needs and we create a marketing plan based
on those needs.
Our most distinct feature is our in-house construction and renovation team. We
are literally a full-service, one-stop shop when selling or buying a home!
How does the in-house construction and renovation team work?
All work is managed and completed through our licensed and bonded construction
crew. No need to call outside contractors. We are like “HGTV,” but we just don’t
have a show! Whether it’s a small makeover or a major renovation, we do it all. Our
sellers love this aspect of our team because we make preparing your home for the
market so seamless. Our buyers love the advice and insight we can give for future
renovations and repairs.
Having a licensed Maryland Home Improvement contractor as part of our team
along with the knowledge, experience, commitment and services that we offer, truly
puts our team as a vanguard in the real estate industry.
