A friendly tech team for Creston realtors

Creston is a farming town in the Creston Valley. Realtors in Creston are busy, and the last thing you need is a weekend lost to a CRM import or a locked-out email account. RealtyIT handles the setup, the security and the ongoing questions for solo agents, teams and small brokerages, so you can get back to showings. Our guidance is reviewed by Ali Sedighi, MBA, a technology strategist with more than 17 years of experience.

Keeping your phone, laptop and inbox safe

Your devices hold contact lists, signed documents and ID copies. We encrypt laptops, set screen locks, enable remote wipe on phones and review your inbox for hidden forwarding rules. For Creston teams we add shared password vaults and a clean offboarding checklist, so a departing agent never walks away with live access to client data under your care.

New to real estate in Creston?

Your first year is expensive enough without paying for software you do not need. We help new Creston licensees choose a small, sensible stack: a professional email address on your own domain, a CRM from day one, a simple website, a shared calendar and a password manager. Then we show you how to use it in a one-hour session. Many new agents tell us the best part is knowing exactly who to ask when something breaks.

Support that knows your setup

Calling a generic help desk is slow and frustrating. Because we set up your stack, we already know how your CRM, email and phone are connected. For Creston agents, that means a ten-minute fix instead of an hour of explanation. A monthly health check also catches expiring licences, missed updates and failing backups before they become urgent.

Brokerage-grade tech for independents

Independent brokerages in Creston carry big responsibilities with small staffs. We help managing brokers set up managed devices, backups, secure file storage and access reviews, then keep an eye on them each month. That frees you to coach agents and supervise deals instead of troubleshooting a printer.

Is it worth it?

If better follow-up books even one extra appointment a month, or a scam is stopped before it costs a client thousands of dollars, the tech pays for itself. For Creston agents we start with a free consultation and a short plan that ranks changes by value, so your first dollars go to the fixes that matter most. Pricing starts from $89 per month, plus 5% GST.

The tools Creston agents ask us about most

Most Creston agents start with four questions: which CRM, which website, how to handle email and calendars and how to keep it all safe. We usually recommend a CRM such as Follow Up Boss, kvCORE or HubSpot, an IDX website tied to the CRM, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for email and one shared place for documents. We pick what fits your budget, then connect it so you do not copy and paste between apps.

Selling in Creston: the digital side of the job

Neighbouring communities such as Castlegar, Nakusp and New Denver send buyers and sellers through Creston all year, and most of them start online. Your website, your Google profile, your social accounts and your CRM all need to tell the same story and pass leads along. We connect those pieces so a click on an ad or a neighbourhood page ends up as a named lead in your pipeline, ready for a follow-up.

Quick answers

What privacy rules apply to agents?

Agents handle personal information governed by privacy law such as BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, for cross-border activity, PIPEDA, plus brokerage and regulator requirements. We are not a law firm, but we help you apply good practice: limited collection, controlled access, safe storage and timely deletion.

How fast can a Creston agent get set up?

A typical CRM and email setup takes one to two weeks from kickoff, mostly depending on how quickly we receive access to your accounts. Urgent security fixes, such as turning on multi-factor sign-in, can often be done in a single afternoon.

Is there a contract?

Our plans are month-to-month with no lock-in, and you own every account and domain we set up. One-time projects are fixed-scope so you know the cost and outcomes before we start.

Can you help protect me from wire fraud and phishing?

Yes. We set up multi-factor authentication, spoof protection for your email domain and a simple call-back rule for any payment change, and we run a short awareness session using real-estate examples. No service can promise zero risk, but these steps close the most common doors.

Do you replace my brokerage's IT?

No. We complement it. Many agents use the brokerage's transaction platform and add their own CRM, website and devices. We stay within your brokerage's policies and help you document how your tools connect to theirs.
