Developed by Coldwell

Banker Real Estate, LLC and CEDIA,

the global trade association for the home technology market, the

course is offered exclusively to independent contractor agents

affiliated with the Coldwell

Banker® network.

The curriculum which provides an extensive look into the evolution of

home technology with a focus on how smart home products are changing

the way we live in and interact with our homes.

This

course equips agents with the skills needed to advise clients

interested in buying and selling smart homes or installing their

first smart home products. As smart homes become increasingly sought

after in New Haven County, DeFeo and agents recognized how essential it is to educate themselves to help clients make informed decisions

about smart home technology.

“Smart

home technology is entering the mainstream and quickly becoming a

staple in homes across the country,” said DeFeo in a press release from the company. “The Smart Home

Technology course has helped us sharpen our knowledge on the smart

home and the products available, which in turn will allow us to

better inform our clients when making smart home decisions.”

A

Coldwell Banker survey

of Americans found that almost half (45 percent) of all those who

responded to the survey either own smart home technology or plan to

invest in it in 2016. Furthermore, more than half (54 percent) of

homeowners surveyed would install smart home products if they were

selling their home and knew that doing so would make it sell faster.

In response to this, Coldwell Banker Real Estate earlier this year

released an official smart

home definition to educate real estate professionals, home buyers

and home sellers in consort with CNET, the world’s largest and most

trusted online source of consumer technology news and reviews.
