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.

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 Nelson 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.

Is there a contract lock-in for Nelson 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 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.

Real Estate IT in Nelson, BC

The IT partner for Nelson brokerages and developers

Nelson is a scenic arts and tourism city on Kootenay Lake. ITRE serves real estate firms in Nelson with managed IT, wire-fraud protection, compliance-minded record keeping and the integrations that connect a CRM to a website and a phone line. Engagements begin with a conversation with an experienced advisor, not a sales script, and continue with plain-language reporting your managing broker, owner or council can read in five minutes. We serve every region of Canada, and Nelson receives the same standard as any other.

Remote-first, on-site when it counts

Most technology problems are solved without a visit. For Nelson 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 Kootenay and the neighbouring communities of Cranbrook, Fernie and Creston.

A measured first ninety days

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

What the local economy asks of your systems

Because Nelson draws on mining and metals, forestry, tourism, small manufacturing and a strong remote-worker community, 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 Nelson firms design a secure, repeatable route for those records, so that quality of service and quality of protection rise together.

Resilience planning for Nelson firms

The practical risks for businesses in the Kootenay include avalanche and snow closures of highway corridors, wildfire and spring freshet flooding. Our approach is deliberately modest: protect the records that cannot be recreated, define how quickly each system must return, and test the recovery rather than assume it. For many Nelson offices this means immutable backups, a documented recovery order and a yearly table-top exercise that takes ninety minutes.

Wire fraud and impersonation risk in Nelson

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

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

Industry knowledge, not generic IT

Our Nelson engagements draw on practice with real estate teams, real estate lawyers & conveyancers and land developers, 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.
