How quickly can a Comox 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.

What does managed IT cost for a firm in Comox?

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.

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.

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.

Real Estate IT in Comox, BC

Technology counsel for real estate in Comox

Comox is a historic and growing community in the Comox Valley. For brokerages, developers, property managers and strata corporations in Comox, 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 Comox managing broker follows what the office needs and not what a vendor pays us to sell. Our team works from Vancouver and supports Comox clients remotely, attending in person when a move, installation or closing-week emergency requires it.

Remote-first, on-site when it counts

Most technology problems are solved without a visit. For Comox 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 Vancouver Island and the neighbouring communities of Victoria, Chemainus and Campbell River.

Wire fraud and impersonation risk in Comox

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

The Comox property landscape

Real estate activity on Vancouver Island sits within government and public-sector work in the capital region, tourism and hospitality, forestry, marine industries and a growing tech scene. 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 Comox as a single undifferentiated market.

Keeping Comox offices working through disruption

On Vancouver Island, firms contend with ferry disruptions, winter windstorms that take out power and a subduction-zone earthquake risk that makes off-island backup essential. 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.

Industry knowledge, not generic IT

Our Comox engagements draw on practice with real estate teams, reits & asset managers and developers & builders, 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.

Plain pricing for Comox 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 Comox firms that engage with us now.

Beginning the relationship

A typical start for a Comox 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.
