Home Fire Sprinklers Save Lives and Sell Houses

Janet Hall is a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Realty representing Goad and Hall Builders in Pleasant View, Tennessee.

When Realtor® Janet Hall shows a new home with fire sprinklers installed, she relies on the expertise of the nonprofit and noncommercial Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) to help her explain the lifesaving technology.

“We use HFSC’s educational material during our open houses and when we do our final walk-through with our buyers,” Hall says. The free information, which includes brochures, videos and Web downloads, provides real estate professionals with the facts about new home installation, maintenance, and cost; and it helps you counter the common myths that often circulate about fire sprinkler systems.

With increasing interest in fire sprinkler protection, HFSC’s information is more valuable to REALTORs® than ever. You can trust HFSC as your resource. HFSC is purely educational. It does not sell products or services.

Hall often teams up with her local fire department to present a live fire demonstration that helps people understand how fast a home fire spreads. She says prospective buyers are impressed with the added protection of fire sprinklers. “They see sprinklered homes as better… more like an extra perk.”
