Real estate IT in Montreal, Quebec
Technology counsel and delivery for real estate firms in Montreal, backed by senior oversight from Ali Sedighi, MBA.
A trusted advisor on technology, in Montreal
Montreal is Quebec's largest city and cultural hub. In a market where one fraudulent email can redirect a deposit and one lost laptop can expose a client file, Montreal 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.
Who we advise in Montreal
In Montreal our clients include proptech startups, brokerages and reits & asset managers, 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.
What the local economy asks of your systems
Because Montreal draws on aerospace, AI and technology, manufacturing, finance and creative industries, 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 Montreal firms design a secure, repeatable route for those records, so that quality of service and quality of protection rise together.

Plain pricing for Montreal 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 Montreal firms that engage with us now.
A measured first ninety days
The first ninety days with ITRE follow a simple pattern for Montreal 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.
Resilience planning for Montreal firms
The practical risks for businesses in Quebec include ice storms, spring flooding and severe winter weather. 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 Montreal offices this means immutable backups, a documented recovery order and a yearly table-top exercise that takes ninety minutes.
Support that keeps pace with a closing calendar
Real estate does not slow down for a help desk's business hours. ITRE supports Montreal clients remotely through phone, email and portal, with extended coverage and an escalation path for closing-day problems. When equipment, cabling or a network installation needs hands on site, we coordinate trusted local trades near Montreal, including Moncton, Lethbridge and Saint John, and supervise the work against a written scope.
Wire fraud and impersonation risk in Montreal
Business email compromise is the most expensive everyday threat to real estate firms, and it does not respect city limits. A Montreal 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.
Questions and answers
- 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.
- Does ITRE support real estate firms in Montreal?
- Yes. We serve brokerages, developers, property managers, strata corporations and the professionals who work with them in Montreal. 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 Montreal 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.
- 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 Montreal 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.
