IT Services for Real Estate Companies
Protecting Transactions & Client Data
Real estate transactions involve large sums of money, making the industry a prime target for wire fraud and business email compromise. Click One MSP provides specialized IT security for brokerages, title companies, and property management firms.
Why Real Estate Need Specialized IT
Real estate transactions routinely involve six and seven-figure wire transfers, making the industry one of the most targeted for business email compromise and wire fraud. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center receives over 13,000 real estate BEC complaints annually, with losses exceeding $1.1 billion.
Beyond wire fraud, real estate companies manage sensitive client data across multiple locations and devices — purchase agreements, financial disclosures, Social Security numbers for credit applications, and bank account details for closing transactions.
Click One MSP provides specialized IT security for real estate brokerages, title companies, and property management firms — protecting transactions, client data, and agent devices across every location.
IT Challenges Facing Real Estate
Wire Fraud & BEC
Criminals monitor email conversations and insert fraudulent wire instructions at the perfect moment. A single successful attack costs $150,000+ on average.
Agent Mobility
Agents work from open houses, client meetings, coffee shops, and home offices. Every unsecured WiFi connection is a potential breach point.
MLS & Platform Security
Access to MLS systems, transaction management platforms, and CRM databases must be secure yet accessible from any location.
Multi-Office Management
Brokerages with multiple offices need consistent security policies, centralized management, and reliable connectivity across all locations.
