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.

Is there a contract lock-in for North Saanich 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.

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 North Saanich, BC

A trusted advisor on technology, in North Saanich

North Saanich is a semi-rural municipality near Victoria International Airport. In a market where one fraudulent email can redirect a deposit and one lost laptop can expose a client file, North Saanich 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.

Plain pricing for North Saanich 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 North Saanich firms that engage with us now.

Resilience planning for North Saanich firms

The practical risks for businesses on Vancouver Island include ferry disruptions, winter windstorms that take out power and a subduction-zone earthquake risk that makes off-island backup essential. 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 North Saanich offices this means immutable backups, a documented recovery order and a yearly table-top exercise that takes ninety minutes.

Remote-first, on-site when it counts

Most technology problems are solved without a visit. For North Saanich 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 Qualicum Beach, Parksville and Langford.

Industry knowledge, not generic IT

Our North Saanich engagements draw on practice with developers & builders, real estate lawyers & conveyancers and reits & asset 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.

The North Saanich 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 North Saanich as a single undifferentiated market.

A measured first ninety days

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

Wire fraud and impersonation risk in North Saanich

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