Real estate and property management

Buildings that are connected before the tenants arrive

Owners, managers and brokerages deal with connectivity twice: for their own teams, and for the buildings they run. We help you bring carriers into a property, connect leasing and management offices, and keep the lines that elevators, alarms and gates depend on working.

What makes this industry different

Tenants ask what's available

Good carrier choice in a building is a leasing advantage.

Copper lines are being retired

Elevators, fire panels and gate systems often still depend on them.

Offices open and close

Leasing and sales offices need service quickly and for short terms.

Agents live on their mobiles

Calls should still present the company's number and be easy to hand over.

The tenant asked which carriers served the building

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

A prospective tenant's first question is about connectivity. The owner does not know, the leasing agent guesses, and the tenant signs elsewhere.

What a consultant changes

Telecom Agency finds out which carriers reach each property and approaches others about serving it, which gives the leasing team a real answer. The advisor also replaces the copper lines behind elevators, alarms and gates before they are retired, and connects management offices and mobile staff. Across a portfolio, a broker becomes the single record of every circuit, contract and renewal date, which most owners have never had.

How Telecom Agency shops the market for real estate and property management

The advice
An advisor establishes which carriers serve each building, approaches others about serving it, and plans replacements for copper lines behind elevators, alarms and gates.
The price
Carriers are asked to quote across the portfolio. Copper replacement is priced per line against what the old lines cost.
The service
Every circuit, contract and renewal date is recorded for the whole portfolio, and the advisor deals with each provider.
  • No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
  • Every provider compared, none favoured
  • One contact for every carrier
  • Reviews and support after the install

Questions from real estate and property management

Ask anything else when we talk. The first conversation costs nothing.

Can you find out which carriers serve a building?

Yes. Use the availability check on any provider page for a first look, and we confirm with the carriers directly.

What replaces an elevator phone line?

Purpose-built devices that connect over cellular and internet with battery backup. We match them to what your local code requires.

Do you work with single buildings or portfolios?

Both. For portfolios we track every circuit and contract across the properties.
