Do you provide legal or compliance advice?

No. We are an IT services and consulting firm. We build the technical controls and evidence that your lawyer or compliance officer specifies for obligations such as FINTRAC record keeping, PIPEDA and BC PIPA, and we are happy to work alongside your advisors.

Who will I speak with at ITRE?

You will speak with a senior advisor from the start. ITRE is a sub-brand of SAZ.ca and Sedighi.ca, led by Ali Sedighi, MBA, who has more than seventeen years of delivery experience and personally reviews the guidance we publish.

Is there a contract lock-in for North Vancouver clients?

No. After onboarding, engagements run month to month. You retain ownership of your domains, accounts and data from the first day, and we provide a documented handover if you decide to leave.

Can you help North Vancouver firms protect against wire fraud?

Yes. We harden mailboxes, monitor for look-alike domains and suspicious forwarding rules, and help you adopt a short call-back procedure for any change in payment instructions. We also run briefings with realistic closing-day scenarios for staff and agents.

How quickly can a North Vancouver brokerage be onboarded?

A typical brokerage is onboarded in stages over four to eight weeks, beginning with identity and email protection. Timing depends on the number of users and devices and on how much needs to be migrated, and we schedule changes around your closing calendar.

Real Estate IT in North Vancouver, BC

A trusted advisor on technology, in North Vancouver

North Vancouver is a waterfront city on the North Shore of Metro Vancouver. In a market where one fraudulent email can redirect a deposit and one lost laptop can expose a client file, North Vancouver real estate professionals deserve the same quality of counsel they expect from their lawyer and accountant. ITRE brings that discipline to technology: a clear standard, a written plan and a named advisor who will tell you plainly what matters. Our parent practice, SAZ.ca, supplies the strategy layer, so choices are made against a budget and a roadmap.

Support that keeps pace with a closing calendar

Real estate does not slow down for a help desk's business hours. ITRE supports North Vancouver clients remotely through phone, email and portal, with extended coverage and an escalation path for closing-day problems. When equipment, cabling or a network installation needs hands on site, we coordinate trusted local trades near North Vancouver, including Langley, Tsawwassen and Coquitlam, and supervise the work against a written scope.

A measured first ninety days

The first ninety days with ITRE follow a simple pattern for North Vancouver firms: stabilise, secure, then improve. We stabilise by inventorying what you own, secure by closing the highest-risk gaps, and improve by agreeing a roadmap with a budget. You receive a short written summary each month and a call with your advisor each quarter.

Protecting client information in North Vancouver

Real estate files are rich in personal information: identification, income, banking and family details. For North Vancouver firms, BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, for cross-border activity, PIPEDA set the standard for how that information must be collected, protected and retained, and reporting entities have further record-keeping duties. We do not give legal advice, but we build the access controls, retention schedules and audit trails that your lawyer and compliance officer need to rely on.

What the local economy asks of your systems

Because North Vancouver draws on a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR, clients and counterparties arrive from many industries and expect modern, professional handling of their information. Offers, mortgage documents and identification arrive by email and phone, and each is a potential point of exposure. We help North Vancouver firms design a secure, repeatable route for those records, so that quality of service and quality of protection rise together.

Resilience planning for North Vancouver firms

The practical risks for businesses in the Lower Mainland include earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage. Our approach is deliberately modest: protect the records that cannot be recreated, define how quickly each system must return, and test the recovery rather than assume it. For many North Vancouver offices this means immutable backups, a documented recovery order and a yearly table-top exercise that takes ninety minutes.

Industry knowledge, not generic IT

Our North Vancouver engagements draw on practice with property managers, commercial real estate firms and strata corporations, so conversations begin from the vocabulary of your business: trust accounts, subject removals, completion dates, rent rolls and draw schedules. That familiarity shortens discovery, avoids wasteful hardware and ensures the technology we recommend serves the way your transactions are really conducted.

What technology costs for a North Vancouver firm

Pricing is published as starting-from ranges. Managed IT begins at $89 to $199 per user per month depending on scope, projects start at $2,500, advisory retainers from $1,500 per month and a brokerage cybersecurity assessment from $1,900, all in Canadian dollars with 5% GST added. New North Vancouver clients receive a 10% launch discount, there is no lock-in, and the first thirty-minute consultation is free.
