When you're buying a home in Hudson, New Port Richey, or Starkey Ranch, it's easy to focus on kitchens, bathrooms, and square footage. But in today’s tech-driven world, it’s just as important to consider how your future home supports smart features like Wi-Fi coverage, security cameras, and connected devices.
At Starkey Home Group, we go beyond the basics. With Aaron Hiller’s background in technology and smart home systems, we help homebuyers plan ahead so their new space works smarter — not harder.
📶 1. Wi-Fi Matters More Than You Think
Wi-Fi is the backbone of a smart home. Thick walls, old construction, and poor layout can cause dead zones where your signal drops.
Before closing on a home, consider:
- Where will the router go?
- Are there Ethernet jacks or mesh system options?
- Is fiber or high-speed internet available in the area?
Aaron’s tech experience from Avant Computers comes in handy here — helping our buyers avoid post-move headaches.
🔒 2. Plan Your Smart Security Before Move-In
Thinking about installing Ring cameras, motion lights, or smart locks? It’s easier when you plan ahead.
We help clients think through:
- Where cameras and doorbells will be mounted
- Whether Wi-Fi reaches exterior entry points
- Compatibility with smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home
Whether you’re buying in Starkey Ranch or Hudson Beach, having a tech plan is part of feeling safe and settled.
📡 3. Ask the Right Questions During Showings
During your walk-throughs or inspections, check:
- Does the home have modern electrical panels to support smart devices?
- Are there any existing security systems or connected thermostats?
- Is the internet speed sufficient for working from home or streaming?
These details often get missed — but they can impact your comfort long after move-in day.
🧠 4. A Tech-Savvy Team Makes a Difference
Aaron brings years of hands-on tech experience to Starkey Home Group, and that gives our buyers an edge. While Jana helps you navigate contracts, negotiations, and inspections — Aaron ensures your new home is ready for modern living.
It’s just one of the perks of working with a real estate team that truly understands both lifestyle and technology.
