What kind of Security systems are good for my new home?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

Should I have a security system? What kind? How much is too much? How much is too little? What does it cost? Many new home buyers are asking these very questions. They look to their agents for answers. As an agent I can not always tell them what they must do, but can give them the facts so they can decide what it right for them.

 

The most popular and often affordable home security systems are the RING Video Doorbell.  It easily replaces your existing doorbell. It records crystal clear pictures and sound.

 

 

For in home security, choosing a system the monitors your doors, windows and often a motion sensor. In my area the Comcast system is tops and you get a great bargain by bundling cable, phone, Internet and security. The old favorites ATD and Honeywell are still around. Shop around as cost can differ greatly. 

 

In the end, being a full time agent is not always about showings homes, writing offers and making sales. It is knowing what is available in your area and communicating with your clients. Answering questions. Spending time with them that makes you GREAT and not just part of the crowd.

 

The MOST IMPORTANT thing in real estate for me is to provide great service. To stand out from the crowd by being there through each step of the buying or selling process. My message that I want to share in Real Estate, is that my philosophy is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.

Good morning Scott Godzyk,

Smart homes are in demand for a large portion of our market and increasingly so..the ring is a good choice for many..I love the camera feature and can see who is walking up to your door, even when you are gone!

Hi Scott- we installed a ring doorbell last fall and love it. During the holidays, I'd gotten an alert from UPS that they had delivered a package but when I looked nothing was there. I was able to go over my Ring videos and saw that no one had dropped off a package. Everything worked out when I contacted UPS...in the holiday rush, my package had been delivered to my neighbor.

So many people do look to their agent for more than just advice about buying or selling a home and this is one area they expect us to know something about.  Ring is a good choice for many consumers.

Interestingly enough, I've been hearing a lot about Ring, and I've been considering getting one.

That is why i love the Ring at my home and office. Motion turns it on and it records crystal clear pictures and sound. It beams to my iphone live. It records if i am busy. It doesnt fully replace a door or window alarm, but is always watching Nina Hollander

I live in a good area too Barbara Todaro but these days it is nice to have a camera always watching, I solved a case by catching a delivery man taking something out of an open car down the road, so it makes me feel better anyway

It was teh best thing I boiught on Amazon Myrl Jeffcoat . They have one that replaces the door bell hooking right into the wires and another like the one i got, where there was no door bell works on batteries, they last 4 weeks, then simply plug it in, 3 hours later ready for another month or duty and no wiring cost

I sold a house with one Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886 , and my seller sat and showed me, i bought one and LOVE the ring now. I have 3, one at home, work and put one at myback door that acts like a look out. Catches great shots of nature anyway.

Morning Scott.

My wife wants one, trouble is like you indicated in this post, so many different ones to choose from.  When I'm home, our security system is Mr. Ruger and 7 of his friends.
