The estate agency IT problem

Generic IT support costs you more than the invoice. Every hour your CRM is down is an hour without instructions.

Estate agencies running generic IT support services spend too much time explaining their software to engineers who have never heard of it. Genmar IT's engineers are trained specifically on estate agency technology - which means faster fixes, fewer escalations and no lost time translating your workflow to a generalist helpdesk.

Our IT support takes too long to fix CRM issues.

A generic IT company that does not know Reapit, Alto, Dezrez or any other estate agency CRM cannot fix issues quickly. Genmar IT engineers are trained on estate agency software and can often diagnose issues before the call ends.

We have had a cyber incident and are worried about future risk.

Estate agencies hold significant volumes of client personal data and financial information. Genmar IT's proactive monitoring and cybersecurity service identifies vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

Our IT costs are unpredictable and we never know what we are paying for.

Genmar IT offers fixed monthly pricing with clearly defined scope. No surprise invoices, no per-incident charges for issues that fall within the managed service.

We are growing and our IT needs to scale with us.

As you add branches, negotiators and cloud tools, your IT infrastructure complexity grows. Genmar IT's managed service scales with your agency and their virtual CIO service plans the technology roadmap as you grow.

How Genmar IT works for estate and lettings agents

Six managed IT capabilities that keep estate agencies running without interruption.

Genmar IT takes ownership of the entire IT environment - not just break-fix support. Their proactive approach means most issues are identified and resolved before your team notices them.

2

24/7 proactive monitoring

Continuous monitoring of your IT infrastructure identifies performance degradation, security threats and system failures before they cause downtime. Genmar IT responds to alerts without you needing to raise a ticket.

What makes Genmar IT different from a general IT company?
