Overview

What this migration involves

Agentbox structures its CRM around real estate-specific objects: Contacts linked to Agents, Properties with listings and appraisals, and buyer/tenant requirements that store search criteria alongside contact records. Freshsales uses a standard Lead → Contact → Account → Deal model with a Deals module that supports multiple pipelines, custom fields, and custom modules. The two platforms diverge most sharply on property and listing data — Agentbox stores these as native objects tied to a CoreLogic integration, while Freshsales has no native real estate schema. FlitStack AI extracts Agentbox contacts, companies, agents, tasks, and notes via API export, transforms property and listing references into Freshsales custom modules, and maps buyer requirements to contact-level custom fields. Automations, CoreLogic live-data connections, and appraisal workflows do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Freshsales or documented for your admin. Owner resolution runs on email match against Freshsales users. A 24–48-hour delta-pickup window captures records modified during cutover before the final reconciliation.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Agentbox

What's pushing teams away

  • Past appraisal records cannot be migrated and must be recreated manually after go-live, creating a gap in historical data for agencies with long sales histories.
  • Prospecting map views and CoreLogic live data are Agentbox-native integrations that do not transfer to competing platforms, forcing agents to rebuild their market intelligence workflow.
  • Agencies using unsupported CRM source systems must engage a third-party specialist at additional cost, with Agentbox charging $800 plus GST on top of the specialist's reformatting fees.
  • Website customisation settings including property tile layouts and filter configurations do not export via the standard migration path and require manual reconfiguration.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How Agentbox objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Agentbox object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Agentbox

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox contacts migrate directly to Freshsales contacts via a one-to-one field mapping. The primary linked Agent becomes the OwnerId reference in Freshsales, resolved through email matching against Freshsales user accounts. All standard contact fields — including first name, last name, email address, phone number, mobile number, physical address components, and contact type — map directly without transformation. The contact type field in Agentbox may require a pick-list value review in Freshsales to ensure consistency across migrated records.

Agentbox

Company

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox company records encompass agency branches, property developer clients, and landlord records, all mapping to Freshsales accounts. The company type and industry fields present a mapping challenge because Freshsales standard industry pick-list values do not fully cover real estate sub-types such as property management firms, strata management companies, or boutique developer agencies. We store these specialized sub-types in a custom pick-list field on the Account record to preserve the full agency classification context from Agentbox.

Agentbox

Agent

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox agent profiles containing name, email address, mobile number, and license credentials transform into Freshsales user accounts. License numbers representing regulatory compliance requirements are preserved in a custom text field named License_Number__c on the User record. Email address serves as the matching key driving the OwnerId linkage for all records migrated from Agentbox, ensuring that agent-owned contacts, properties, and listings land under the correct Freshsales user account automatically.

Agentbox

Property

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Module: Property

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox native property objects containing address, property type, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and price guide have no direct Freshsales equivalent. FlitStack creates a Property custom module within Freshsales and migrates every property record into this module, establishing a lookup relationship linking each property to its owning Contact or Account record. This lookup preserves the relationship context from Agentbox where properties were tied to specific contacts or companies.

Agentbox

Listing

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Module: Listing

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox listing records storing listing status, listing type, asking price, and REA listing identifier migrate into a Freshsales Listing custom module. Historical REA import data originally brought into Agentbox may include structured sub-records such as price history or agent notes that do not map cleanly to individual fields. When direct field mapping is not possible, this nested historical data is preserved as a JSON-formatted text blob within a custom long-text field on the Listing record, maintaining data completeness even if the original structure cannot be normalized.

Agentbox

Appraisal

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Module: Appraisal

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox appraisal records containing property address, appraisal date, appraised value, and appraiser agent information require a dedicated Appraisal custom module in Freshsales. Each migrated appraisal record is linked via lookup relationships to both the corresponding Property custom module record and the Contact record of the client who requested the appraisal, preserving the relational structure from Agentbox where appraisals were inherently tied to specific properties and clients.

Agentbox

Buyer Requirement

maps to

Freshsales

Contact (custom fields)

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox buyer and tenant requirement records containing budget range, property type preferences, preferred location, and desired bedroom count migrate as custom fields on the Freshsales Contact record. When Agentbox stores multiple criteria values within a single field, these are preserved using pipe-delimited text strings or converted to multi-select custom fields depending on the original source field structure, ensuring the requirement data remains searchable and actionable in Freshsales.

Agentbox

Note / Task

maps to

Freshsales

Note / Task

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox notes and tasks attached to contacts, properties, or listings migrate to Freshsales Notes and Tasks respectively, with original creation timestamps and linked agent associations preserved. When notes in Agentbox were attached to Property or Appraisal custom module records that cannot receive notes directly in Freshsales, those notes are attached to the linked Contact record instead, maintaining the informational context even if the attachment point shifts within the data model.

Agentbox

Tag / Category

maps to

Freshsales

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Agentbox contact categories and tags migrate to Freshsales tags applied to the corresponding Contact, Account, or custom module record depending on what object received the tag in Agentbox. Tags transfer as-is without transformation so that all filtering logic, segmentation rules, and automated workflow triggers built on tag conditions in Agentbox continue functioning in Freshsales using the identical tag names and application scope.

Agentbox

Attachment / File

maps to

Freshsales

File

1:1
Fully supported

Files attached to Agentbox contacts, companies, or listings are downloaded from the source system and re-uploaded to Freshsales Files attached to the equivalent record in the destination CRM. Freshsales enforces a 25-megabyte per-file size limit; any files exceeding this threshold are flagged in the migration audit report for manual handling, ensuring your team can individually assess and transfer oversized attachments through alternative methods.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Property, Listing, and Appraisal objects have no Freshsales native equivalent

    Agentbox stores properties, listings, and appraisals as first-class database objects tied to the CoreLogic integration and REA import pipeline. Freshsales has no native schema for any of these — they must become custom modules that your Freshsales admin creates before data lands. Custom modules on Freshsales require the Enterprise plan, or a Pro plan with custom module access enabled. We deliver a pre-migration schema plan listing every custom module, field, and pick-list value that needs to be created so your Freshsales setup is ready before the first record migrates. Without this pre-work, property records land as unstructured notes with no field-level searchability.

  • CoreLogic live-data integration does not transfer to Freshsales

    Agentbox connects to CoreLogic for real-time on-the-market data, comparable sales, and suburb analytics. Freshsales has no native CoreLogic connector — market data enrichment must be rebuilt using Freshsales's built-in Freddy AI enrichment or a third-party data enrichment tool like Clearbit for contact data. Historical CoreLogic data that Agentbox stored in property records is preserved as text fields in the Freshsales custom modules, but live lookups stop at migration. Teams relying on automated market alerts or real-time comparable analysis need to rebuild this workflow in Freshsales or through an external integration.

  • Agent-to-user owner resolution requires pre-seeded Freshsales users

    Agentbox agents are the primary owners of contacts, properties, and listings. Freshsales records require an OwnerId pointing to an existing User. If an Agentbox agent email does not match a Freshsales user, the record lands under a fallback owner (typically the admin user) and loses its original ownership chain. Before migration, your team must create Freshsales user accounts for every agent who should retain record ownership. We provide an agent-email list from the Agentbox export and cross-reference it against your Freshsales user list, flagging every unmatched agent so you can create accounts before the migration window opens.

  • Buyer and tenant requirements collapse from structured criteria to flat custom fields

    Agentbox stores buyer and tenant requirements as structured multi-field objects (budget range, property type, location preferences, bedroom count, inspection availability). Freshsales does not have a native requirements object. We map these as custom fields on the Contact record, but complex nested criteria — such as conditional preferences (e.g., 'prefer north-facing but flexible on orientation') — lose structure and become free-text fields. If your sales process depends on structured buyer criteria for matching or automated alerts, you'll need to rebuild that logic in Freshsales using workflow conditions on the custom contact fields.

  • REA historical listing data imported into Agentbox stores as flat text in Freshsales custom modules

    Agentbox's REA import brings in historical listing data with field-level structure (listing ID, status, price history, agent notes). Freshsales Listing custom modules can hold these fields, but the REA-specific identifiers and price-history sub-records may need to be stored as a JSON long-text blob or a series of note attachments rather than normalized fields, depending on how many price-history rows exist per listing. We surface this in the pre-migration data audit and give you the choice between a normalized custom-module structure and a preserved-as-imported fallback.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Agentbox to Freshsales data migration

  1. Audit Agentbox schema and export via API

    FlitStack AI connects to your Agentbox instance via API using scoped read access and exports all records across Contacts, Companies, Agents, Properties, Listings, Appraisals, Notes, Tasks, and Tags. We profile the data for duplicates, missing required fields, and orphaned records (contacts with no linked agent, properties with no linked contact). The audit report identifies every Agentbox field and object so we can build the complete mapping plan before touching Freshsales.

  2. Build Freshsales schema plan and create custom modules

    Based on the Agentbox export, FlitStack delivers a Freshsales schema setup plan: the custom modules to create (Property, Listing, Appraisal), every custom field on Contact and Account, pick-list values for property type and listing status, and the ownership mapping from Agentbox agent IDs to Freshsales user emails. Your admin creates the schema before migration; we validate the setup before writing data.

  3. Resolve agents to Freshsales users by email

    Each Agentbox agent profile is matched by its email address against the Freshsales user directory. When an agent's email corresponds to an existing Freshsales user account, all records owned by that agent in Agentbox receive the matching Freshsales user as the OwnerId automatically upon migration. For agents whose email addresses do not match any Freshsales user, FlitStack generates a pre-migration report listing every unmatched agent with step-by-step instructions for creating the corresponding Freshsales user account before the migration window opens. Any Agentbox records owned by agents without a Freshsales match are assigned to a designated fallback admin user and flagged in the migration audit log, enabling your team to reassign ownership to the correct user post-migration if needed.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–500 records across contacts, companies, properties, listings, and appraisals — migrates to Freshsales first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source and destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm that buyer requirements mapped correctly, property addresses landed in the right custom module, and owner resolution produced the expected OwnerId values. No full migration commits until you approve the sample.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset migrates to Freshsales using sequenced writes: Accounts first, then Contacts and Users in parallel, then custom module records (Properties, Listings, Appraisals), then Notes and Tasks. A 24–48-hour delta-pickup window runs after the main migration to capture any Agentbox records created or modified during the cutover. The audit log records every operation. One-click rollback reverts the Freshsales instance to its pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues.

Most Agentbox-to-Freshsales migrations complete within 48–72 hours for datasets under 50,000 records. The planning and schema setup phase (creating Freshsales custom modules for Properties, Listings, and Appraisals) typically takes 3–5 business days and runs in parallel with the data audit. Complex migrations with high record counts, extensive historical appraisal data, or multi-branch agency setups extend to 5–7 days. The longest single phase is usually getting Freshsales custom modules configured before data lands.
