Coldwell Banker Introduces First-Ever Smart-Home Staging Kit

This survey was conducted online by Parks Associates on behalf of the Coldwell Banker brand within the United States between June 6-9, 2016 through a third party via its omnibus product. The survey was conducted among 1,250 adults (ages 18 and over) among whom 801 own at least one smart home product. For the purposes of the survey, “smart home technology/products” were defined as products or tools that aid in controlling a home’s functions such as lighting, temperature, security, safety, and entertainment, either remotely by a phone, tablet, computer or with a separate automatic system within the home itself. Survey sample was demographically targeted to be representative of the U.S. general population.
