How quickly can a Surrey 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.

What does a first consultation involve?

The first thirty-minute consultation is free. We ask about your office, systems and concerns, offer a candid view of priorities and, where useful, follow with a short written findings note. There is no obligation to proceed.

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 Surrey 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.

Real Estate IT in Surrey, BC

The IT partner for Surrey brokerages and developers

Surrey is BC's second-largest city and one of the fastest-growing urban centres in Canada. ITRE serves real estate firms in Surrey with managed IT, wire-fraud protection, compliance-minded record keeping and the integrations that connect a CRM to a website and a phone line. Engagements begin with a conversation with an experienced advisor, not a sales script, and continue with plain-language reporting your managing broker, owner or council can read in five minutes. We serve every region of Canada, and Surrey receives the same standard as any other.

Remote-first, on-site when it counts

Most technology problems are solved without a visit. For Surrey firms we resolve the large majority remotely, with the agent's consent, and reserve site visits for installations, moves and incidents that need physical attention. Where local labour is needed, we manage it, drawing on contacts throughout the Lower Mainland and the neighbouring communities of Westwood Plateau, Richmond and Fort Langley.

Who we advise in Surrey

In Surrey our clients include reits & asset managers, mortgage brokers and commercial real estate firms, along with the lawyers, lenders and managers who work beside them. Each group has distinct records, regulators and risks, which is why we maintain separate service profiles for them. A strata council has little in common with a developer's sales centre, yet both depend on trustworthy records and careful handling of personal information.

Beginning the relationship

A typical start for a Surrey client is a thirty-minute conversation with a senior advisor, followed by a short written findings note: what we saw, what matters most and what we would do first. If you proceed, we onboard in stages, beginning with identity and email protection, and then devices, backups and the longer-term roadmap. You keep ownership of your accounts, domains and data at every stage.

Keeping Surrey offices working through disruption

In the Lower Mainland, firms contend with earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage. A listing office that cannot reach its files, or a sales centre that loses connectivity on launch weekend, bears a real commercial cost. We plan continuity around the way real estate actually operates: cloud-hosted records, tested backups, a second internet path for critical sites and a short written plan that names who calls whom and in what order.

What technology costs for a Surrey 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 Surrey clients receive a 10% launch discount, there is no lock-in, and the first thirty-minute consultation is free.

The Surrey property landscape

Real estate activity in the Lower Mainland sits within a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR. That mix shapes the technology a firm needs: a residential brokerage depends on responsive mobile systems and a clean CRM, a developer needs dependable site connectivity and secure approvals, and a property or strata manager needs accurate records for owners. ITRE tailors its standards to the type of real estate business, rather than treating Surrey as a single undifferentiated market.

Wire fraud and impersonation risk in Surrey

Business email compromise is the most expensive everyday threat to real estate firms, and it does not respect city limits. A Surrey brokerage, law office or developer can be targeted simply because deposits and closing funds move through it. Our protection programme pairs hardened mailboxes, domain protection and alerting with a short call-back procedure for any change in payment instructions, and we rehearse it with your staff using realistic closing-day scenarios.
