IT for brokerages, from listing to closing
Your agents work from their phones, and every closing draws email scammers. We set up your brokerage so deals keep moving and nobody gets tricked into wiring money to the wrong account.
For real estate
What we handle for you
- 01
Wire fraud at closing
Scammers get into an agent's or title company's email, wait for a closing, then send the buyer new wiring instructions. We make your part of that chain a much harder target.
- Multi-factor sign-in on every agent and staff mailbox
- Alerts for suspicious logins and new mail forwarding rules
- Training for agents and staff on spotting a fake wire request
- 02
Transaction files and access
Dotloop, SkySlope and your MLS hold contracts, disclosures and client IDs. We manage who can get to them and make sure an agent who leaves doesn't take the brokerage's files along.
- User setup and support for Dotloop, SkySlope and your MLS login
- Brokerage email and file storage in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Clean offboarding when an agent leaves, including email and shared files
- 03
Agent devices and support
Many agents are independent contractors using their own phones and laptops. We set a few simple rules for those devices and give agents a help desk they can reach between showings.
- Basic security rules for any personal phone that opens brokerage email
- A U.S.-based help desk for agents and office staff
- Office Wi-Fi, printers and the conference room screen kept working
- 04
Websites and local marketing
Buyers and sellers still start with a search. We build brokerage websites and help you show up on Google, in Google Business Profile results and in AI search tools like ChatGPT.
- Brokerage websites built and kept up by our team
- Local SEO and a Google Business Profile for each office
- Google and social ads, plus visibility in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews
Why WITTCO
Why brokerages work with WITTCO
We handle both the IT and the marketing, so one team understands your office from the website to the closing table.
Email comes first
Locking down email is the first thing we do for a brokerage, because that is where most closing scams start.
Built for agent turnover
Agents join and leave all the time. New agents get set up quickly, and departing agents lose access when they go instead of months later.
Local, with U.S.-based support
We're based in Lacombe on the Northshore and work with offices across Louisiana, the Mississippi Gulf Coast and southern Alabama. All of our support is in the U.S.
Questions
Questions brokers ask us
How do closing wire fraud scams usually work?
Someone gets into an email account on the deal, often through a phishing link, and reads along quietly. Near closing, they send the buyer new wiring instructions from that account or a lookalike address. Multi-factor sign-in, login alerts and a firm rule to verify wiring by phone make this much harder to pull off.
Our agents use their own phones. Can you still protect brokerage email?
Yes. We can require a passcode and an up-to-date operating system before a phone opens brokerage email, and remove brokerage data when an agent leaves without touching their personal photos or texts.
Do you work with Dotloop and SkySlope?
Yes. We handle user setup, access and the email and file storage around them, and we contact the vendor with you when the problem is on their end. If you are switching platforms, we help plan the move.
Can you help with our website and Google listing too?
Yes. We build and maintain brokerage websites, manage Google Business Profiles, run Google and social ads, and work on how you show up in AI search tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. The same team that runs your IT handles it, so you only have one team to call.
