Brokerage Managed IT: the Coquitlam brief
For real estate firms in Coquitlam, Brokerage Managed IT is a practical response to a plain problem: agent laptops and phones configured by whoever happened to be available that week. Brokerage Managed IT is the operating arrangement in which ITRE takes responsibility for the health, security and lifecycle of everything your brokerage runs on: managing broker workstations, agent laptops, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenants, office networks and the line-of-business systems that hold trust and transaction records. We work remotely from Vancouver and attend Coquitlam sites when installation or incident response needs hands on the equipment.

- 24/7 monitoring, patching and endpoint protection on every enrolled device
- Joiner, mover and leaver workflows tied to licensing changes at the brokerage
- Quarterly advisory review with a written technology roadmap and budget
- Hardware and licence inventory with warranty and renewal tracking
- A security baseline of multi-factor authentication, encryption and email protection

Speak with an advisor

Scope for Coquitlam clients
We scope Brokerage Managed IT for Coquitlam in stages so budget and effort follow risk. The first stage focuses on A documented device and identity standard for managing brokers, staff and agents; later stages extend to the rest of the service as your team is ready. Tools commonly involved include Microsoft 365, Intune, Microsoft Defender, Google Workspace, Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti, though we remain independent and will recommend what fits the business, not a catalogue.
How we work
Our process is the same in Coquitlam as anywhere: a thirty-minute discovery call, a short findings note, an agreed plan and staged delivery. We measure results openly. Measured by the share of enrolled devices meeting the baseline, time to onboard or offboard an agent, and quarterly patch compliance. You will always know who is responsible, what has changed and what happens next.
Coquitlam context, handled properly
The commercial setting in Coquitlam draws on a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR. Connectivity is best described as dense fibre, carrier-neutral data centres and a deep pool of local IT talent, but also heavy competition for it and constant office-lease churn, and operational risk includes earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage. We reflect each of these in how we design and support Brokerage Managed IT, rather than shipping a template that ignores the place where the office or site actually operates.
