Overview

What this migration involves

Brokerkit structures its data around agents, recruiting pipelines, and retention pipelines — HubSpot models the same information as Contacts with custom properties, Deals with pipeline-stage mapping, and association labels as custom fields or Multiple Checkbox properties. FlitStack AI extracts agents as Contacts, company records as Companies, pipeline stages as Deal stage values, labels as custom pick-list or checkbox properties, and interaction history as Notes, Tasks, and Calls. We preserve original create dates, stage-entered timestamps, and owner assignment by email match. Any Brokerkit Smart List criteria export as a rebuild reference for HubSpot Active Lists — Smart List logic does not auto-transfer because HubSpot Active Lists do not natively support time-in-stage conditions. Workflows and automation rules are outside migration scope; we document them for your HubSpot admin to rebuild in HubSpot's automation tools. The migration runs via HubSpot's Contacts API and Bulk API for large record sets, with a sample pass before the full run so you verify stage mapping and label conversion before commit.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Brokerkit logo

Brokerkit

What's pushing teams away

  • The platform lacks deep customization options, leaving brokerages with non-standard recruiting workflows forced to work around the tool's opinionated structure.
  • Canadian market integrations do not exist, and no native equivalents to US tools like RealMetrix means international teams have no path forward within the platform.
  • Reporting and analytics fall short for teams that need pipeline attribution broken down beyond basic source-level tracking.

Choosing

HubSpot logo

HubSpot

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Brokerkit objects map to HubSpot

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

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

Brokerkit

Agent

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Agents map directly to HubSpot Contacts. Brokerkit agent name, email, phone, and address fields map to HubSpot's standard Contact properties, and any additional custom fields are transferred via custom properties created in HubSpot. The primary company association is stored as Contact.Company, establishing the link to the brokerage record. Original create dates and owner assignments are preserved via custom datetime and owner lookup to maintain historical context after migration.

Brokerkit

Agent

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:many
Fully supported

When a Brokerkit agent has an associated brokerage or team name that represents an organization, FlitStack creates a HubSpot Company record and links the Contact to it via Contact.Company. The brokerage entity is created once and reused for all agents sharing that name.

Brokerkit

Recruiting Pipeline

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Pipeline

1:1
Fully supported

Each Brokerkit pipeline (Recruiting, Retention, Referral) becomes a separate HubSpot Deal Pipeline. Pipeline stage names map one-to-one to HubSpot Deal stage values within each pipeline, preserving stage order and probability settings from Brokerkit. Probability percentages transfer to the corresponding HubSpot stage settings so deal forecasting reflects your original funnel weights. Any custom stage metadata is noted for manual recreation in HubSpot if required.

Brokerkit

Pipeline Stage

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Stage names are mapped value-by-value. Brokerkit stage names like 'New Lead', 'Interview Scheduled', 'Offer Extended', and 'Hired' map to HubSpot Deal stage values with identical or equivalent labels. Stage-entry timestamps are preserved as a custom datetime property on the Deal.

Brokerkit

Agent Label / Tag

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Multiple Checkbox Property

1:1
Fully supported

Brokerkit's multi-value labels (Top Producer, Team Lead, New Hire cohort) migrate as HubSpot Multiple Checkbox properties on Contact. Each unique label becomes a checkbox option. We create the property in HubSpot before migration and map each agent's label values to the corresponding checkbox selections.

Brokerkit

Agent License Number

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Custom Property

1:1
Fully supported

Brokerkit license_number, state, and expiration_date are not native HubSpot fields. FlitStack creates custom text and date properties on Contact — License_Number__c, License_State__c, and License_Expires__c — and maps the values directly from each Brokerkit agent record. Where license_state uses a set of values, we configure a pick-list property to enforce consistency. Expiration dates are stored in ISO format, and any dates within 90 days of migration are flagged for renewal follow-up.

Brokerkit

Agent Status

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Property

1:1
Fully supported

Agent status values in Brokerkit (Active, Inactive, Suspended) map to a HubSpot custom pick-list property on Contact. We create the pick-list with those values as options, ensuring each agent receives the status label. The mapping preserves the status value so reporting on agent activity by status works identically in HubSpot after migration. If Brokerkit stores a status‑change timestamp, that date is captured in a custom datetime field for historical tracking.

Brokerkit

Interaction (Note)

maps to

HubSpot

Note on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Brokerkit notes linked to an agent migrate as HubSpot Notes attached to the corresponding Contact. The note body, author, and original create date are preserved. Note polarity (positive/negative flag) maps to a custom property on the Note if present in Brokerkit.

Brokerkit

Interaction (Call / Meeting)

maps to

HubSpot

Call / Meeting Engagement on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Agent calls and meetings migrate as HubSpot Call and Meeting engagements linked to the Contact. Duration, outcome (connected, voicemail, no answer), and timestamp are mapped to HubSpot's engagement properties, and call direction (inbound/outbound) is stored in a property if present. Notes attached to a call or meeting are transferred as text on the engagement record. Owner resolution uses email match to HubSpot users, with unresolved owners flagged for manual assignment.

Brokerkit

Smart List

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Active List

1:1
Fully supported

Brokerkit Smart List definitions export as a criteria reference document for your HubSpot admin. Active Lists do not natively support time-in-stage conditions, so Smart Lists with temporal criteria require manual rebuild in HubSpot. We document every Smart List name, criteria, and agent count for rebuild planning.

Brokerkit

Brokerage / Parent Company

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Company (Parent)

1:1
Fully supported

When Brokerkit tracks parent brokerage entities, these migrate as HubSpot Company records. If the brokerage has multiple sub-offices tracked as child entities, HubSpot's Parent Company field preserves the hierarchy. We sequence Company creation before Contact creation to ensure the lookup resolves correctly.

Brokerkit

Agent Owner

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Owner

1:1
Fully supported

Brokerkit owner assignments map to HubSpot Contact Owner by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so your team can either invite them to HubSpot or reassign records to a fallback owner. No record lands without an owner assignment.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Brokerkit Smart List time-in-stage logic has no native HubSpot Active List equivalent

    Brokerkit Smart Lists can filter agents by time-in-stage — agents who have been in 'Interview' for more than 7 days, for example. HubSpot Active Lists support property-based filtering (equals, contains, greater than) but do not natively calculate duration-in-stage from stage-entry timestamps. FlitStack exports your Smart List criteria as a named document with the agent count and filtering logic so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them as Active Lists or using HubSpot workflow enrollment triggers. This is a manual step — no automation transfers.

  • Multi-value labels require Multiple Checkbox property creation in HubSpot before migration

    Brokerkit agents can carry multiple labels simultaneously — Top Producer, Team Lead, 2024 Cohort. HubSpot's standard contact properties are single-value unless you configure a Multiple Checkbox field type. We create the Multiple Checkbox property in HubSpot before migration, mapping each Brokerkit label to a checkbox option. If you have more than 200 unique label values in Brokerkit, we consolidate low-frequency labels into an 'Other' catch-all option to stay within HubSpot's property cardinality limits. Label name collisions (case-insensitive) are deduplicated during property creation.

  • Pipeline-to-pipeline stage mapping requires HubSpot pipelines to exist before Deals load

    HubSpot requires that a Deal Pipeline and its stage values exist before Deals can be assigned to that pipeline. We create the HubSpot pipelines and stage values in your account first, matching the Brokerkit pipeline names and stage order exactly. If your Brokerkit pipelines have stage names that conflict with HubSpot's reserved stage names (Appointment Scheduled, Decision Maker Bought In, etc.), we append a suffix so the stages map cleanly. The pipeline setup is delivered as a pre-migration checklist so your HubSpot admin can review and approve before data loads.

  • Brokerkit agent associations to multiple brokerages collapse to a primary Company link

    In Brokerkit, a managing broker may be associated with both their own brokerage and a parent franchise. HubSpot Contacts have one primary Company association and can add secondary associations via the Contact to Company association panel. We migrate the most recently modified or most actively engaged brokerage as the primary Company link and surface the others in the association panel. If your reporting depends on a specific brokerage being primary, you can specify a priority rule before migration — we apply it consistently across all affected contacts.

  • License expiration date timezone handling must be explicitly specified

    Brokerkit stores license_expiration_date without a timezone component. When migrating to HubSpot's date property (License_Expires__c), the date is interpreted as UTC at midnight. If your brokerage operates across multiple states with different timezone rules for license expiry, you should specify whether to treat the date as the brokerage's home timezone or as UTC. We flag all records with license_expiration_date in the next 90 days after migration so your team can audit them proactively.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Brokerkit to HubSpot data migration

  1. Discovery audit and schema mapping

    FlitStack catalogs every Brokerkit object — agents, pipelines, stages, labels, and interaction types — and generates a schema map showing the HubSpot equivalent for each. We identify custom fields that require property creation in HubSpot, flag any label value collisions, and confirm the email addresses used for owner matching against your HubSpot user list. The audit output is a migration plan your team reviews before any data moves.

  2. Set up HubSpot schema before data loads

    We create the custom contact properties required for the migration: License_Number__c (text), License_State__c (text), and License_Expires__c (date) for license data; a pick-list property for agent status (Active, Inactive, Suspended); and a Multiple Checkbox property that enumerates each unique Brokerkit label as an option. We also configure the Deal pipelines and stage values to mirror your Brokerkit pipelines, preserving stage names, order, and probability settings. All property IDs and pipeline IDs are recorded in the migration workbook. This step requires a HubSpot admin to review and approve the schema changes in your account before data loads begin.

  3. Sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 50–200 agents migrates first — spanning different pipeline stages, label combinations, and owner assignments. We produce a field-level diff comparing Brokerkit source values against the HubSpot destination fields so you can verify label conversion, license number population, pipeline stage assignment, and owner matching before the full run commits. You approve the sample output before we schedule the full migration.

  4. Full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full record set loads into HubSpot. We run in batches to stay within HubSpot API rate limits and maintain data integrity. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new agents or stage changes made in Brokerkit during the cutover. All interactions (notes, calls, meetings) are linked to the correct Contact record. Audit log records every operation. One-click rollback reverts the destination if reconciliation finds unexpected gaps.

  5. Smart List export and rebuild handoff

    We export your Brokerkit Smart List definitions — names, criteria operators, values, and matching agent counts — as a structured reference document. Your HubSpot admin uses this to rebuild Active Lists or workflow enrollment criteria. FlitStack does not automate Smart List recreation because HubSpot's criteria model differs from Brokerkit's; the handoff document makes the rebuild a straightforward manual task rather than a reverse-engineering exercise.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Tiered plans scale from solo broker to 10-seat brokerage with predictable per-user pricing.
  • Built-in SMS and email follow-up sequences without requiring a separate engagement platform.
  • Multi-admin account support on Core and Expansion tiers enables office manager delegation.
  • Strong customer support reputation with responsive ticket resolution and webinar-based onboarding resources.

Weaknesses

  • No public API documentation means migration relies on CSV exports, which can truncate long text fields.
  • Canadian market has no integrations or localization, making the platform US-only for practical purposes.
  • Limited customization compared to general-purpose CRMs like HubSpot or Follow Up Boss.

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.
