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 Courtenay 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.

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.

Does ITRE support real estate firms in Courtenay?

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

Can you help Courtenay 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.

Real Estate IT in Courtenay, BC

Technology counsel for real estate in Courtenay

Courtenay is a growing city in the Comox Valley. For brokerages, developers, property managers and strata corporations in Courtenay, 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 Courtenay managing broker follows what the office needs and not what a vendor pays us to sell. Our team works from Vancouver and supports Courtenay 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 Courtenay 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 Nanaimo, Oak Bay and Campbell River.

A measured first ninety days

The first ninety days with ITRE follow a simple pattern for Courtenay 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 Courtenay offices

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 Courtenay firms that engage with us now.

Protecting client information in Courtenay

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

What the local economy asks of your systems

Because Courtenay draws on government and public-sector work in the capital region, tourism and hospitality, forestry, marine industries and a growing tech scene, clients and counterparties arrive from many industries and expect modern, professional handling of their information. Offers, mortgage documents and identification arrive by email and phone, and each is a potential point of exposure. We help Courtenay firms design a secure, repeatable route for those records, so that quality of service and quality of protection rise together.

Who we advise in Courtenay

In Courtenay our clients include appraisers, developers & builders and strata corporations, 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.

Keeping Courtenay 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.
