Is there a contract lock-in for Whalley 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.

What does managed IT cost for a firm in Whalley?

Managed IT starts at $89 to $199 per user per month depending on scope, with projects from $2,500 and advisory retainers from $1,500 per month. Prices are in Canadian dollars with 5% GST added, and new clients receive a 10% launch discount.

How quickly can a Whalley 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.

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.

Can you support agents who use their own devices?

Yes. We use mobile device management and app protection to separate brokerage data from personal content, enforce encryption and updates, and allow remote removal of brokerage data without touching an agent's personal photographs or messages.

Real Estate IT in Whalley, BC

Technology counsel for real estate in Whalley

Whalley is the downtown core of Surrey. For brokerages, developers, property managers and strata corporations in Whalley, ITRE provides senior-led technology advice and hands-on delivery, under the direction of Ali Sedighi, MBA. We are an IT services and consulting firm, not a reseller, which means a recommendation to a Whalley managing broker follows what the office needs and not what a vendor pays us to sell. Our team works from Vancouver and supports Whalley clients remotely, attending in person when a move, installation or closing-week emergency requires it.

Industry knowledge, not generic IT

Our Whalley engagements draw on practice with proptech startups, reits & asset managers 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.

The Whalley 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 Whalley as a single undifferentiated market.

Keeping Whalley 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.

Remote-first, on-site when it counts

Most technology problems are solved without a visit. For Whalley 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 North Vancouver, Tsawwassen and North Delta.

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

A measured first ninety days

The first ninety days with ITRE follow a simple pattern for Whalley 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 Whalley

Real estate files are rich in personal information: identification, income, banking and family details. For Whalley 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.
