In today's digital-first real estate world, the average realtor isn’t just showing homes—they’re managing sensitive financial transactions, signing digital contracts, and relying on cloud-based CRMs and communication tools to close deals fast.
While technology has made the industry more efficient, it’s also created a growing number of cybersecurity and IT challenges—especially for small to mid-sized real estate firms without a full-time IT team.
So, what does this mean for your brokerage? If you're not actively managing your IT systems and security, you're leaving the door open to downtime, data breaches, and lost revenue.
Here’s why more real estate firms are turning to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in 2025—and how it can transform the way your team works.
Real estate transactions are a goldmine for cybercriminals. Wire fraud scams have exploded in recent years, often starting with a single compromised email account. Once inside, attackers impersonate agents or title companies to divert funds.
✅ An MSP can implement:
Advanced email security & phishing detection
Real-time monitoring for suspicious login activity
Employee training to spot fraud attempts
Most agents use their personal phones and laptops to handle client communications, listings, and digital paperwork. Without proper management, these devices are unsecured entry points into your systems.
✅ We help firms deploy:
Mobile Device Management (MDM) to enforce policies
Remote wipe for lost or stolen devices
VPNs and secure access to internal files
If your systems go down or your internet gets spotty, deals stall. No CRM. No eSignatures. No listings.
✅ With proactive support, you get:
24/7 monitoring and alerts
Regular system health checks
Fast remote and onsite support when you need it most
Depending on your state and client base, you may need to comply with data privacy laws like CCPA or GDPR.Handling personal and financial client data means you're expected to follow proper security protocols—even if you're not a tech company.
✅ MSPs ensure:
Data retention and deletion policies
Encrypted backups
Security policies that hold up to audits
Break/fix IT doesn’t cut it anymore. Real estate teams need a strategic tech partner to:
Scale IT systems as your firm grows
Advise on secure software and cloud services
Help onboard agents quickly and securely
Real estate is fast-paced. You can't afford tech issues, security breaches, or unreliable support. A Managed Service Provider gives you peace of mind, better performance, and a safer environment for your agents and your clients.
