When it comes to the

importance of smart home

80 percent of Realtors

smart home
technologies
gaining
traction
consumers, realtors showing
greater interest in smart home
technologies, certifications
s smart homes become more

popular among consumers,
buyers and sellers are showing greater interest in those

homes and smart-home technologies.
Realtors are showing more interest in a
certification to acknowledge their experience and expertise in those features. This
is according to the National Association of
Realtors' (NAR) inaugural Smart Homes
and Realtors report, which found that
Realtors are becoming more interested in
a smart home certification, despite the fact
that only 15 percent of agents are receiving
questions about smart home technology
from their clients.
realtors a step ahead of

consumers
According to the report, which analyzed
the importance of smart home technology
to Realtors, 42 percent of respondents
stated they are interested in acquiring a
smart home certification, while 22 percent
are not interested and 36 percent were
undecided. "More homeowners are adopting smart-home technology and that will
likely impact buyers' purchase decisions
in the future. While consumer interest in
this trend is still developing, Realtors

are becoming well-versed in successfully
marketing smart homes and their features,
such as devices and appliances," said NAR
President William E. Brown. He is a Realtor from Alamo, California and founder
of Investment Properties, a division of his
family real estate business.
Of the respondents who are interested in a
smart home certification, 23 percent of agents
have one year of experience or less, whereas
54 percent have more than 16 years of experience. There is greater interest in a smart home
designation for agents over 55 years of age
(47 percent), compared to agents 45 years or
younger (30 percent). In terms of smart home
devices, 37 percent of Realtors said clients
find smart locks to be very important, followed by lights at 29 percent and thermostats
at 26 percent. Forty-three percent said clients
were neutral about the importance of voice
control features and 38 percent for smart appliances and doorbells.

six steps
for a
successful
home sale
in 2017
Packing and cleaning

ahead at your own
pace reduces the
amount of work after
the house sells.
tips to reduce stress on your

own timeline
By mindy abramson
reparing a home for sale is a

daunting task.
Implementing
these six steps, well in advance
of selling, reduces stress and
positions you for success.
1. take pictures of
your home
Distinguishing Style
sell, donate, toss, and unsure. Although

this task seems overwhelming, a goal of
reviewing one drawer, shelf, or cabinet a
day is more realistic.
3. address the unsure

category promptly
Eventually, the look of your house

may change to appeal to a large group
of buyers. Preserve memories by photographing every room, the exterior and
the yard. Especially document childrens
growth charts, family photo displays, and
other special creations you may want to
replicate in your new home.
Organize like objects together, box

and label with their descriptions and
a question mark. Store the containers
collectively. If you later need to transfer
them off the premises, place them in the
very back of storage. This will allow time
to determine how much you miss them.
Still not sure? Move them and unpack
them last.
2. make decisions
4. pack
Save time and money by identifying and moving only those items you
plan to utilize in your new space. Scour
every cabinet, closet and drawer to start.
Divide items into 5 categories: keep,
Packing ahead at your own pace

reduces the amount of work after the
house sells. You will also be glad you
conquered the decisions above first. In
general, box items you are saving and
can temporarily live without. Include

any tiny objects. Typically, accessories
used for showcasing will be larger than
your fist.
Remove half of the items in your
closets and cabinets to allow buyers to
see this valuable asset. Storage sells
and stuffed cabinetry reflects limited
space. This can be tricky you may need
to delay certain packing (out of season
clothes, for example) until you know
when you will be listing your house.
Arrange bedroom closet contents by
grouping clothing types; shirts, pants,
dresses, jackets.
5. clean as you go
Wash each area as you proceed. This
minimizes work later.
6. seek professional advice

It is always easier and more efficient
to strategize. You may have an abun-
dance of furniture, art and accessories

and not know what to keep for showcasing and what to store. Or perhaps
you are aware of the need to paint, but
are unsure what colors will coordinate
and sell.
Associate the work with something
positive that brings you joy. Changing
the perception of a burdensome job to a
more pleasant experience increases the
likelihood of finishing the project. Enlist
a partner to help and enjoy the friendship. Listen to music, a book on tape, or
a podcast. Clean out a few drawers while
watching a movie. You may actually
look forward to tackling these chores.
Moving is stressful under the best of
circumstances. Starting early allows you
to accomplish the necessary steps on
your own timeline and in a much more
relaxed manner.

The Cobble System of

articulating concrete mats
offers a wide range of
designs and patterns that
can fit nearly every situation.
Brothers Tom and Sal Riccobene, and

Tom's son Dominic, chuckle while
watching a demonstration of the
porous nature of Cobble Systems.
"The Cobble Systems allows a look to be achieved that

would otherwise be unachievable without spending a lot
of money and having trained people who understand how
to lay small cobble.
riccobene's endless
landscaping solutions
riccobene concrete masonry and design offers ingenious
templates limited only by consumers imagination
n an innocuous office building in the north valley,
magic happens on a regular basis. It is here that

products are conceived, created, developed and
delivered for a range of landscaping needs and
functions. Riccobene Concrete Masonry and Design,
which stems from the fertile and unending tinkering
of brothers Tom and Sal Riccobene, has been a half
century in the making.
We do all that testing here and all that forethought here, Tom Riccobene said on a recent tour
of the facility. The son and grandson of stone masons, Riccobene originally made his mark in concrete
pavers, particular edgers. We basically reinvented
flagstone, he said. It all started from when he was a
kid, watching his elders work.
planting the seed

My grandfather, my uncles and my father were
laying a patio a stone patio,Riccobene said.Theyre
chipping like crazy. Im watching my grandfather chip
and there are chips flying everywhere. He looks up and
he said,Its hard work, isnt it Tommy? His grandfather then paused and pointed to his eye. Thats how
this happened,his grandfather said. His eye was
coming out of his head, almost, because he had been
injured, chipping and breaking stone,Riccobene said.
And that was germ, the seed of Riccobenes innovations.So ever since then, as a kid I said,Im going to
figure that out. Im going to figure out how to make
stones that already fit.That was the idea being born.
By glen rosales / homestyle writer
It wasnt until 1989 that he really was able to buckle

down and make it work and, it and took another 10
years to work on it, he said of the product that would
become known as First Prize, and later, Grand Prize.
patents
Now, decades later, more than 220 million units
have been sold and the company has updated its
patents eight different times. The shelves on one wall
of Riccobenes office are filled with various, ingenious
interlocking bricks, faux stones, pavers and stepping
stones. Some are in the market, some are headed for
the market eventually and some likely will never get
beyond those shelves.
Another wall is crowded with file

folders bursting forth with papers and
diagrams of what to most people would
look like meaningless doodles. These are
my patents, Riccobene said. First we have
to make the idea, figure out if it has value
in the marketplace and all of that kind of
stuff. Then we file a provisional (patent),
which kind of sets our mark and then we
go ahead and file, then prosecute the patent. And that can take anywhere from a
year to five years.
So just how many patents lie amidst
the papers and files and folders? I knew
you were going to ask that, he said with
a smile. I have no idea. Its more than
50, somewhere between 50 and 150 if I
include all of my provisional, filed, patented, or provisional patents.The latest
innovation, which the company is producing itself at the moment, but should be
headed for a national rollout before too
long is called Cobble Systems.
tom riccobene, riccobene concrete masonry and design
cobble system
Called articulating concrete mats in
company literature, what the system does
is produce a unique and easy way to install
a classy, old-world-looking ground cover.
The Cobble Systems allows a look to be
achieved that would otherwise be unachievable without spending a lot of money and
having trained people who understand how
to lay small cobble, Riccobene said. When
we lay small cobble, most of the time whats
going to happen is we have cobbles of different thicknesses and different sizes. And in the
old world, they were basically done in a sand
based site and they would basically have to
just hammer down into the sand base until
the tops were level.
Instead of that laborious, back-breaking,
time-consuming process, the same look can
be easily achieved by two people with no
prior background, he said.What weve done
is taken all of that work out of it, Riccobene
said. Weve gone ahead and put a grid on
the back of the cobbles that allows them to

stay together. When we look at it, theres
a (plastic) grid built into the back side that
allows it to be a single unit. We have something that is flexible so it will articulate over
uneven surfaces.
beauty in its ease, precision

There is 5 1/3 square feet per drop. And
that takes a very little while to put down, lets
say it takes 30 seconds for two people to go
pick it up and put down. A minute to do a
second one and now theyre up to 10 square
feet. Before you know, its down pretty quick.
And the other nice thing about this is the
pieces have got flexibility. When you lay them
in length, you can turn them and theyll stay
together. So now what ends up happening
is you can put in a curved pathway without
really even trying.You can begin to mix colors
and put different kinds of patterns down.
The system is water permeable, as a
display in the company lab graphically shows,
The laying system

is so easy to install
that two people
can easily handle
the 5 1/3 square
foot sections.
and it can be weaved into any number of patterns, even circles.The grids are easily shaped
so you can cut off whatever you didnt want
in that space with tin snips because you can
cut through them pretty easilysaid company
marketing director Mary Brown-Montanez.
So if you just wanted to pull the circle out of
the design, you could do that. It just depends
on what your brain can think up.
a new generation
And now venturing into a new generation, Riccobenes son, Dominic, is adding to
the production with his own, special flair as a
trained film maker who at one time worked
for NASA communications. The slick movie
productions show, for instance, provides a
range of possibilities in which the Cobble
Systems can be used.Dominic adds a whole
new level to things,Riccobene said.We can
take his movies and show them to potential
new clients so they know exactly what were
talking about.
