How quickly can a Burnaby 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 help Burnaby 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.

Does ITRE support real estate firms in Burnaby?

Yes. We serve brokerages, developers, property managers, strata corporations and the professionals who work with them in Burnaby. Most support is delivered remotely from Vancouver, and we coordinate on-site work through trusted local trades when a visit is required.

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 Burnaby, BC

A trusted advisor on technology, in Burnaby

Burnaby is a commercial and tech hub in Metro Vancouver. In a market where one fraudulent email can redirect a deposit and one lost laptop can expose a client file, Burnaby 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.

A measured first ninety days

The first ninety days with ITRE follow a simple pattern for Burnaby 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.

Plain pricing for Burnaby offices

We list our prices because a managing broker should not need a meeting to learn the order of magnitude. Starting points are $89 to $199 per user per month for managed IT, $2,500 for projects, $1,500 per month for senior advisory and $1,900 for a cybersecurity assessment. Terms are month-to-month, GST is added, and a 10% launch discount applies to Burnaby firms that engage with us now.

Keeping Burnaby offices working through disruption

In British Columbia, firms contend with seismic, wildfire and flood events that vary sharply by region. 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.

The Burnaby property landscape

Real estate activity in British Columbia sits within technology, trade, natural resources, film, tourism and a strong professional-services base. 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 Burnaby as a single undifferentiated market.

Industry knowledge, not generic IT

Our Burnaby engagements draw on practice with developers & builders, real estate lawyers & conveyancers and property managers, 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.

Support that keeps pace with a closing calendar

Real estate does not slow down for a help desk's business hours. ITRE supports Burnaby 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 Burnaby, including Kelowna, Victoria and Vancouver, and supervise the work against a written scope.

Wire fraud and impersonation risk in Burnaby

Business email compromise is the most expensive everyday threat to real estate firms, and it does not respect city limits. A Burnaby 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.
