Overview
BrokerKit stores a real-estate-specific data model built around agents, recruits, companies, deals, and recruiting-pipeline stages. Zoho CRM uses standard CRM modules — Contacts, Leads, Accounts, Deals — with custom fields and Blueprint automation for process control. FlitStack AI extracts BrokerKit agent records, recruit profiles, company data, and active recruiting deals via the BrokerKit API, then maps them to Zoho CRM Contacts, Leads, Accounts, and Deals. License numbers, recruiting stages, and agent-specialty multi-select fields require Zoho custom fields, which we create during the migration run. Recruiting workflows and drip sequences do not transfer — we export your BrokerKit workflow definitions as a reference document your Zoho specialist uses to rebuild them in Zoho's Blueprint tool. Owner resolution matches BrokerKit agent emails to Zoho user accounts by email lookup. Delta-pickup captures any recruits or deals modified during cutover so Zoho CRM reflects BrokerKit's final state at go-live. All timestamps, owner assignments, and custom property values are preserved across the migration, ensuring your brokerage data remains intact and actionable from day one.
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 Zoho CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Brokerkit
Agent
Zoho CRM
Contact
1:1BrokerKit agents map 1:1 to Zoho CRM Contacts. Name, email, phone, and address fields migrate directly with no transformation. The BrokerKit teams field becomes a custom Team_Name__c pick-list on the Contact record, preserving team associations. Primary company association maps to AccountId lookup in Zoho, linking agents to their brokerage accounts.
Brokerkit
Agent
Zoho CRM
Custom field — Agent_License_Number__c
1:1License number is a standard field in BrokerKit but Zoho CRM has no native agent-license field. We create Agent_License_Number__c as a text field on the Contact module during migration. A companion date field Agent_License_Expiry__c is also created to preserve license expiration dates for compliance tracking.
Brokerkit
Agent
Zoho CRM
Custom field — Agent_Specialties__c
1:1BrokerKit agent specialties are a multi-select list stored as a standard field. Zoho CRM Contact does not have a native multi-select for specialties — we create Agent_Specialties__c as a multi-select picklist field on Contact and map values one-by-one from BrokerKit's list to preserve all specialty selections.
Brokerkit
Recruit
Zoho CRM
Lead
1:1BrokerKit recruits map to Zoho CRM Leads. First name, last name, email, phone, and source information migrate directly. BrokerKit's recruiting stage (New Lead, Contacted, Interview, Signed) maps to the Lead Status picklist using value-by-value mapping so stage names are preserved in Zoho reports for continuity.
Brokerkit
Recruit
Zoho CRM
Custom field — Recruiting_Stage__c
1:1Zoho Lead Status is the standard pipeline field but teams want a dedicated Recruiting_Stage__c custom field for visibility without relying on the standard Lead Status picklist. We create this as a picklist on Lead and populate it from BrokerKit's recruiting_stage field during migration.
Brokerkit
Company
Zoho CRM
Account
1:1BrokerKit companies map to Zoho CRM Accounts. Company name, domain/website, industry, and employee count migrate directly. Parent-company relationships in BrokerKit map to Zoho's Parent Account lookup. Multi-address records collapse to a single billing address in Zoho unless your team specifies per-record handling.
Brokerkit
Deal
Zoho CRM
Deal
1:1BrokerKit recruiting deals map to Zoho CRM Deals. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and owner migrate. Each BrokerKit recruiting pipeline becomes a Zoho Pipeline — we create the pipeline in Zoho first, then assign each deal to its corresponding pipeline during the migration load.
Brokerkit
Pipeline Stage
Zoho CRM
Deal Stage (per Pipeline)
1:1Stage names in BrokerKit (New Lead, Contacted, Interview, Signed, Active) map to Zoho Deal Stage values per pipeline. We create the stages in Zoho with matching names before loading deal data. Stage-entered timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields (Stage_Entered_Date__c) for reporting continuity.
Brokerkit
Activity
Zoho CRM
Task / Event
1:1BrokerKit call logs and meeting records migrate as Zoho Tasks and Events respectively. Original timestamps, activity type, and owner are preserved. Notes attached to activities migrate as Zoho Notes linked to the parent record. We re-upload file attachments to Zoho Files.
Brokerkit
Custom Property (Agent/Recruit/Deal)
Zoho CRM
Custom Field
1:1Any BrokerKit custom properties beyond the standard schema are migrated as Zoho CRM custom fields. We create the field in Zoho first (matching the data type: text, number, date, picklist), then populate it during the migration run. Each custom property requires a separate field in Zoho and adds to migration scope.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Brokerkit gotchas
CSV exports truncate long text fields
No public API means migration tooling is limited
Plan tier limits restrict what data exists
Integration connections do not transfer on migration
Zoho CRM gotchas
API access requires Professional tier or above
Subform fields do not export cleanly via CSV
API credit consumption is non-linear
Export download links expire in 7 days
Owner (User) assignments require pre-mapped user IDs
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discover and document the BrokerKit data model
FlitStack AI connects to BrokerKit via API using your account credentials and enumerates all agents, recruits, companies, deals, activities, and custom properties. We generate a data audit report listing record counts per object, custom property names and data types, pipeline names and stage counts, and owner assignment coverage. This report is the basis for the Zoho schema plan and field mapping document.
Create Zoho CRM custom fields and pipelines before migration
Before any data moves, FlitStack creates all required custom fields in Zoho CRM using the Zoho Field API. This includes Agent_License_Number__c (text field), Agent_License_Expiry__c (date field), Agent_Specialties__c (multi-select picklist), Recruiting_Stage__c (picklist), Original_Create_Date__c (datetime), Source_System_ID__c (text), and other custom fields identified in the discovery audit. We also create Zoho Pipelines and stage definitions matching BrokerKit's recruiting pipeline structure so deal records can reference valid pipeline IDs during import.
Resolve owners and users by email match
BrokerKit agent emails are matched against Zoho CRM user accounts by email address. Records where no match is found are flagged in a pre-migration report. Your team either invites the missing agent as a Zoho user before migration or assigns them to a designated fallback owner. No agent or recruit record loads into Zoho without a resolved owner — this prevents orphaned records in your CRM.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50–200 records — covering agents, recruits, companies, deals, and a few activities — migrates to your Zoho sandbox or a test CRM instance. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against Zoho field values for every mapped field. Your team reviews the diff to verify license number mapping, specialty multi-select rendering, recruiting-stage values, and deal pipeline assignment before the full run is committed.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
All BrokerKit data migrates to Zoho CRM using Zoho's Bulk API with batch sizes up to 100 records per request. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any recruits or deals modified in BrokerKit during the cutover period so Zoho reflects the final state at go-live. FlitStack monitors API credit consumption against Zoho's daily limits and uses webhook-based callbacks instead of polling to reduce credit overhead. Audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation reveals data integrity issues.
