Overview
Brokerkit organizes real estate brokerages around agent-centric recruiting workflows — agents, recruiting sources, license tracking, onboarding sequences, and broker-agent relationships. Freshsales is a general SMB CRM built around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals with lifecycle stages, deal pipelines, and activity tracking. We map Brokerkit agents to Freshsales Contacts and Accounts, recruiting pipelines to Freshsales Deal Pipelines, and license and credential fields to custom fields. Onboarding sequences, recruiting automations, and agent-to-agent sponsorship chains do not transfer — those must be rebuilt in Freshsales' workflow builder using Freshsales' specific conditions, action blocks, and workflow logic. Migration runs via Freshsales REST API with scoped read access so Brokerkit remains operational throughout. We preserve original create and update timestamps, owner assignments by email match, and stage-transition history for reporting continuity. A 24-48 hour delta pickup window captures in-flight changes during cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Brokerkit 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.
Brokerkit
Agent
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Maps 1:1 to Freshsales Contact. Agent name fields (first_name, last_name) map directly to Freshsales FirstName and LastName. Email and phone map to standard Contact fields. License number, license type, license state, MLS ID, and agent status migrate to custom fields since Freshsales has no native real estate licensing fields. Original timestamps and owner assignments are preserved during the transfer.
Brokerkit
Agent
Freshsales
Account
many:1When agents belong to a specific brokerage in Brokerkit, we create an Account record for the brokerage firm and link agents as Contacts under it. The primary company association from Brokerkit becomes the AccountId lookup on the Freshsales Contact. Multiple-agent brokerages consolidate under a single Account with multiple Contact records, preserving the hierarchical relationship.
Brokerkit
Recruiting Pipeline
Freshsales
Deal Pipeline
1:1Each Brokerkit recruiting pipeline becomes a Freshsales Deal Pipeline. If Brokerkit has three recruiting pipelines (e.g., Agent Hire, Team Lead, Office Expansion), we create three Freshsales Deal Pipelines with matching names. Pipeline-level configuration including stage count, stage names, and layout carries over as part of the pipeline setup in Freshsales.
Brokerkit
Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Deal Stage
1:1Stage names from Brokerkit pipelines (Lead, Contacted, Interview, Offer, Hired, Active) map to Freshsales Deal Stages by value. Each stage maps to an equivalent stage name in the corresponding Freshsales pipeline. Stage probability percentages and forecast categories are reapplied based on Freshsales conventions since Brokerkit and Freshsales use different probability models.
Brokerkit
License Information
Freshsales
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1License type (Broker, Agent, Associate), license number, licensing state, and MLS membership ID migrate as custom text and pick-list fields on the Freshsales Contact. These require custom field creation in Freshsales before migration runs since Freshsales has no native real estate licensing fields. We provide complete field specifications during the planning phase.
Brokerkit
Recruiting Source
Freshsales
Custom Field on Contact
1:1Where the agent came from (Indeed, Referral, LinkedIn, Event, Career Site) maps to a custom pick-list field (Recruiting_Source__c) on the Freshsales Contact. This preserves sourcing attribution for recruitment analytics. Custom source values in Brokerkit require value-mapping setup in Freshsales pick-lists before migration to ensure all historical values transfer correctly.
Brokerkit
Sponsor Agent Relationship
Freshsales
Contact-to-Contact Lookup
1:1Agent sponsor-recruit relationships map to a custom Contact-to-Contact lookup field (Sponsor_Agent__c) on the Freshsales Contact. Freshsales has no native self-referential relationship between Contact records, so we use a custom lookup pointing to the sponsoring agent's Contact record. Multi-level sponsor trees require custom report type configuration post-migration for proper hierarchy reporting.
Brokerkit
Onboarding Task
Freshsales
Task
1:1Onboarding tasks, checklist items, and completion statuses migrate as Freshsales Tasks tied to the agent Contact record. Task subject, due date, assigned user, and completion status map directly. Tasks created during onboarding reflect their original due dates and assignees. Incomplete tasks carry over as open tasks in Freshsales ready for follow-up.
Brokerkit
Activity Log
Freshsales
Activity (Task/Event)
1:1Call logs, emails, and notes map to Freshsales Activities — calls and tasks become Tasks with Type='Call' or 'Email', while scheduled meetings become Events. Original timestamps, activity owners, and parent record links are preserved. Activity content and duration data transfer where available in Brokerkit's export.
Brokerkit
Document
Freshsales
Attachment on Contact
1:1Agent documents including contracts, credential files, and onboarding paperwork attach to the Freshsales Contact record as files. Document names and file types are preserved. Large files may be subject to Freshsales file size limits per the plan tier. We notify you if any documents exceed size limits and provide alternatives for handling oversized files.
Brokerkit
Tag
Freshsales
Tag
1:1Agent tags and segmentation labels transfer as Freshsales tags for contact filtering and reporting. Tags like 'Top Performer', 'New Hire', or 'Leadership Track' carry over as-is. Tags used for agent categorization in Brokerkit become available immediately in Freshsales for list views, reports, and workflow triggers.
Brokerkit
Team/Office
Freshsales
Territory or Custom Field
1:1Brokerkit teams and office locations map to Freshsales Territories on Enterprise plans, or to a custom division/department text field on Contact for Growth and Pro tiers. We recommend the custom field approach unless you have Territory Management enabled, as it provides immediate agent categorization without requiring plan upgrades or additional configuration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Pre-migration audit and field mapping specification
We extract a full data dump from Brokerkit covering agents, pipelines, activities, custom fields, and documents. We then produce a detailed field mapping specification document showing exactly which Brokerkit fields map to Freshsales standard or custom fields, including custom field creation requirements for real estate-specific data like license types and MLS IDs. Your Freshsales admin reviews and approves the mapping before any data movement begins.
Freshsales schema preparation
Your Freshsales admin creates the custom fields (License_Number__c, License_Type__c, License_State__c, MLS_ID__c, Recruiting_Source__c, Agent_Status__c, Start_Date__c, Sponsor_Agent__c) and any required pick-list values for license types and recruiting sources. If you have multiple recruiting pipelines in Brokerkit, we set up corresponding Freshsales Deal Pipelines with matching stage names, probability weights, and forecast categories.
Test migration with field-level validation
We run a sample migration of 50-100 agent records plus associated activities, deals, and documents. The field-level diff shows exactly what transferred, what mapped to custom fields, and any records that failed owner resolution due to missing email matches for Freshsales User lookup. You review the test results and approve before we commit to the full migration run. This catches mapping issues early.
Full migration with delta pickup
The full data set transfers to Freshsales via the REST API, maintaining referential integrity with Accounts created before Contacts, and Contacts created before Deals. Owner resolution happens by email match with fallback to a default Freshsales user for unmatched owners. A delta window of 24-48 hours after the initial load captures any Brokerkit records modified during cutover. All records preserve their original create and update timestamps from Brokerkit.
Post-migration validation and workflow rebuild handoff
We generate a reconciliation report comparing Brokerkit record counts and field values against the Freshsales import results. We also deliver the Brokerkit workflow export as a structured JSON/YAML reference document that your Freshsales admin can use to manually reconstruct recruiting sequences in Freshsales' automation builder. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers critical issues requiring reprocessing of the full dataset.
