Real estate trends come and go, but as home automation evolves and becomes more mainstream, it's worth paying attention to the innovations that can withstand the test of time. One such trend is that of video door bells. They've been on the market for several years and show no sign of losing popularity. In fact, video door bells are only becoming more advanced and ubiquitous. Scott Safadi of Cal Bay Property Management recommends them to property managers concerned with security and eager to dip their toe into the home automation realm.
Why start with video door bells? For one, they're fairly easy to learn to use. Unlike other more complicated home automation tools, video door bells use technology most of us are already comfortable using. A smartphone app and a video camera are tools most people use on a daily basis anyway. Tenants will see a video door bell as an asset, not something they need to learn to master over time. They're also affordable. Whether you're setting up one for a single rental unit or installing them across a multi-family property, video door bells are an easy investment. They're of even greater value when you factor in the increased security you'll be able to offer your tenants. Consider how many packages have been stolen off of doorsteps over the years and then consider how grateful your tenants would be if you had footage of the misdeed! This increased peace of mind is priceless. As we consider the future of property management, the need to protect both human lives and our investment is critical. Though a video door bell may not seem like a necessary investment, it's the kind of technology that tenants are going to be seeking out more and more. As an early adapter, you'll be able to appeal to all kinds of demographics who are eager to live on the cutting edge. Anyone hoping to set their property apart from competitors should seriously consider investing in this kind of technology. - Scott Safadi, Cal Bay Property Management Real estate trends come and go, but as home automation evolves and becomes more mainstream, it's worth paying attention to the innovations that can withstand the test of time.
