Deals close. IT keeps up.

Deals cannot wait on technology. We keep transactions moving, agents productive, and wire fraud out of your inboxes.

From the office to the open house

Mobile agents. Money on a deadline.

Most brokerages we meet already have IT help of some kind, usually whoever set up the office years ago. It was fine when everyone worked from the same building. Then agents went mobile, everything moved to the cloud, and wire fraud turned every closing into a target.

Your agents are rarely at a desk. They need the current listing sheet, the signed disclosure, and the closing packet from a car, an open house, or a kitchen table at 9pm, on whatever device is in their hand, without copying client files onto it.

We cover both ends, and support answers in an average of 17 minutes when an agent is stuck. A 24/7/365 security operations center watches the accounts themselves, because a mailbox quietly taken over is how wire fraud starts. If you have someone in house already, we work alongside them.

What we handle for brokerages.

  • Wire fraud defenses that actually workEmail authentication and impersonation detection catch the spoofed message, and a written verification rule catches the rest. Changed wire instructions get confirmed by phone at a number already on file, every time, no exceptions.
  • Fast onboarding and offboardingA new agent has email, files, and platform access on their first day. A departing one loses every bit of it the same day, across all systems at once, with nothing left behind on a personal device.
  • Cloud files, available anywhereListings, contracts, and closing documents live in the cloud, so an agent opens the current version from a laptop, a phone, or a personal device without anything sensitive being copied off.
  • Client documents kept where they belongTax returns, pre-approvals, and identification documents move through secure sharing instead of email attachments and personal cloud accounts, which is also what your errors and omissions carrier wants to see.
  • Training aimed at the closing tableYour agents and transaction coordinators get short, realistic training on the pressure and secrecy pattern fraudsters use during a closing window, because the person who spots the fake is worth more than any filter.
  • A 24/7/365 security operations centerReal analysts watching for the account takeover that starts a wire fraud, not just software sending alerts. A suspicious sign-in on an agent mailbox gets investigated and shut down the same night.
Built for the transaction

Why real estate IT is different.

Two things define risk in a brokerage: the wire and the deadline. Generic IT support addresses neither.

Every closing is a fraud target

Real estate sits at the top of the FBI list for business email compromise losses, and the reason is structural. Large sums move between parties who have often never met, on a date an attacker can predict by reading one email thread. Defending that takes protected mailboxes and a verification rule nobody skips.

The office is wherever your agents are

Most of your people are not at a desk. They work from cars, coffee shops, listings, and their own kitchens, on devices the brokerage does not own and cannot replace. That is workable, but only with protected access, secure file sharing, and multi-factor sign-in on every account.

Deadlines turn small problems into big ones

An agent locked out of their email on an ordinary Tuesday is a minor annoyance. The same lockout ninety minutes before a signing puts a commission and a client relationship at risk. Support has to be sized for the deadline rather than for the ticket, which is why response time is the number we hold ourselves to.

Straight answers

Questions brokerages ask us.

How do you actually stop wire fraud?+

We lock down your email so outsiders cannot send messages that look like your brokerage, and we flag anyone impersonating the title company or your agents. Then the rule: wire instructions change by phone, never by email.

Our agents are independent contractors using their own laptops. Can you secure that?+

Yes, and this is the normal situation in a brokerage. We protect the brokerage data rather than the personal device: managed access to email and files, encryption, a passcode requirement, and the ability to remove company data remotely. Agents keep control of their own machines.

Do you support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?+

Both, and we run them to the same standard: multi-factor sign-in on every account, sharing rules that keep client documents inside the brokerage, and file storage organized so agents find the current version instead of emailing copies around. If you are on one and considering the other, we will tell you honestly whether the move is worth it.

How fast can you onboard and offboard agents?+

Same day, usually within the hour once we have the request. A new agent gets email, file access, and the platforms they need before their first appointment. A departure is the more important half: we cut access everywhere at once, including email, files, and anything on a personal device, so nobody keeps a door open after they leave.

Can you support agents in the evenings and on weekends?+

Standard support runs Monday through Friday from 7am to 7pm, with emergency support outside those hours, which is when a surprising number of real estate deadlines land. Brokerages that need routine help at any hour can move to our 7x24 support plan.

What does IT support cost for a brokerage?+

One flat rate, with unlimited support included, under our Keep IT Simple™ managed IT plan. No per ticket billing and no hourly surprises the week three deals close at once.
