Quick answer

What should a real estate agency look for in managed IT support?

Real estate agencies run on phones, laptops and tablets used away from the office, plus CRM, property management and trust accounting software, email and shared files. Landlord, tenant and buyer details need protecting, and agents need access that works at an open home as well as at the desk. Good managed IT for an agency combines device management, Microsoft 365 security, tested backups and monitoring. AristaTech is a Sydney managed IT provider based in Alexandria, supporting businesses since 2007, with an Australian-based team and a written SLA for managed clients.

Why It Matters

When Technology Fails, Buyers and Tenants Wait

An agent locked out of email on auction day, a property manager who cannot open a lease, or a fake email asking a tenant to change bank details: in an agency, small IT problems reach clients quickly.

Whether your agency has a couple of staff or several offices, the aim is the same: technology that works in the office and on the road, so your team can focus on clients.

Common IT Challenges Facing Real Estate Agencies

Most IT problems in an agency start small and become part of the routine. Over time they eat into the working day and add risk.

report_problem Former staff still have access to email or the CRM

We help agencies with Microsoft 365, mobile devices, secure access, endpoint protection, backup and recovery, the office network and technology planning, so the environment stays stable and your team can get on with clients.

How Managed IT Helps

What Managed IT Looks Like for a Real Estate Agency

Managed IT means one accountable team looks after your whole environment for a monthly fee agreed in writing, with projects scoped separately. We monitor, patch and maintain your systems, and manage the devices your agents carry, so many problems are caught early.

Managed clients get a written SLA. Our response targets are 15 to 30 minutes for critical issues, 1 hour for high, 4 business hours for normal and the next business day for low, with 24/7 phone support for critical issues. Exact terms are set in each client's contract.

All our staff are Australian-based. We work from Alexandria, cover all of Sydney metro and also support clients in Victoria and Queensland. Whether onsite attendance is included depends on your plan.

Microsoft 365 for the Office and the Road

Many agencies use Microsoft 365 mostly for email. Set up properly, it also gives agents email, calendars and files on their phones, with sign-in security that protects the agency if a device is lost. As a Microsoft partner and CSP reseller, we can also supply and manage your licences. See our Microsoft 365 & cloud services.

Working With Your CRM and Property Management Software Vendors

Agencies run CRM, property management, trust accounting and listing tools alongside Microsoft 365. When something stops working, your team shouldn't have to work out whether the fault is the software, a phone, the network or the internet. We investigate, deal with your software vendors on versions and licences, and keep you updated.

Client Trust Depends On It

Protecting Landlord, Tenant and Buyer Information

Agencies handle personal information and often trust money, so a compromised mailbox can lead to fake payment requests. We put layers of protection in place without making day-to-day work harder for agents. We can also assess your agency against ASD's Essential Eight, a practical security baseline. Your agency remains responsible for its regulatory obligations. We do not provide legal or regulatory advice or guarantee a compliance outcome.

Busy-Period Planning

IT Readiness Before Busy Weekends and Month-End

Auction weekends, open homes and end-of-month rent runs are the wrong time for a device to fail or a backup to be untested. We schedule patching around business-critical periods and review the basics:

AI Agents for Real Estate

Where AI Agents Could Help Your Agency

AI agents can take repetitive admin work off agents and property managers. A staff member reviews the output before anything goes to a client, landlord or tenant.

Enquiry follow-up

Sort new buyer, renter and appraisal enquiries, pull out the details and draft a reply for an agent to check and send.

Maintenance requests

Sort incoming maintenance requests by property and urgency, and draft messages to tenants and tradespeople for the property manager to approve.

Inspection notes

Turn an agent's inspection notes into a tidy first draft for the property manager to review.

Listing drafts

Prepare first drafts of property descriptions from the agent's notes, ready for the agent to edit.

Scheduling

Draft open home and inspection reminders for buyers and tenants, based on times your team has set.

CRM updates

Update contact records after enquiries and inspections, with every change logged for review.

Every pilot starts with one workflow. We set up least-privilege access, human approval gates and audit logs, so you can see what the agent did and when. Before anything starts, we agree with you what information the agent can and cannot see. Learn more about AI agents for business and our approach to agentic AI.
