Overview
Homesnap Pro is a real estate agent productivity platform built around MLS search, showing scheduling, and consumer-facing lead capture — it does not function as a traditional CRM with structured pipeline management. Freshsales uses a Lead-Contact-Account-Deal model with built-in lifecycle stages, multiple pipelines, and AI-powered contact scoring. The migration transfers Homesnap agent profiles, client contact records, property interest associations, showing activities, and in-app messages into Freshsales Contacts and Accounts, with deals created from closed transactions where applicable. Automations, marketing campaigns, and the Homesnap consumer portal do not have Freshsales equivalents and must be rebuilt from scratch. The migration leverages scoped API read access from Homesnap Pro with a staged load into Freshsales, followed by a 24-48 hour delta pickup window to capture any records modified during the cutover period. This approach ensures your Freshsales instance reflects the complete state of your Homesnap Pro data at go-live, with all owner assignments and original create dates preserved for accurate pipeline reporting.
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 Homesnap Pro 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.
Homesnap Pro
Agent Profile
Freshsales
User
1:1Homesnap agent accounts map directly to Freshsales Users using email address as the primary match key. Owner resolution for all migrated records is performed using the matched User ID. Any unmatched agents are flagged in a pre-migration report with instructions for manual assignment or Freshsales user invitation before migration proceeds.
Homesnap Pro
Client Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Homesnap client records containing names, phone numbers, and email addresses map directly to Freshsales Contacts using email as the match key. The client's primary associated property is preserved as a linked reference to the corresponding mapped Account record for full relationship context.
Homesnap Pro
Client Contact (unverified email)
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Homesnap clients that lack a verified email address are routed to Freshsales Leads rather than Contacts, which aligns with Freshsales' data quality requirements for Contact records. Lead status defaults to 'New' with original source attribution preserved for downstream qualification workflows.
Homesnap Pro
Property Record
Freshsales
Account
1:1Homesnap property records map to Freshsales Accounts using the property street address as the Account Name. The Account type field is set to 'Real Estate' via an automated value mapping rule during migration. The original MLS number is stored in a custom field for reference and cross-referencing with MLS systems.
Homesnap Pro
Property Interest Association
Freshsales
Account Contact Relationship
many:1Homesnap allows a client to express interest in multiple properties simultaneously. These N-to-1 associations between client contacts and property records map to Freshsales Account Contact Relationship records, with the interest type (Buyer, Seller, Both) preserved as a custom field on the relationship for accurate client intent tracking.
Homesnap Pro
Closed Transaction
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Homesnap transactions marked as closed map to Freshsales Deals. The deal name derives from the property address, the amount is populated from the sale price, and the close date is set from the transaction date. Pipeline and stage assignment is configured per the target Freshsales pipeline setup during migration.
Homesnap Pro
Showing Activity
Freshsales
Task
1:1Homesnap showing records map to Freshsales Tasks with Task Type set to 'Showing'. The original showing date and time, attending client names, and property address are all preserved in the task record. Each task is linked to the corresponding Account and Contact records via lookups for complete activity context.
Homesnap Pro
In-App Message
Freshsales
Task
1:1Homesnap client-agent messages are migrated as Freshsales Tasks with Task Type set to 'Message'. The message body, timestamp, sender role, and linked contact are fully preserved. Rich media attachments are downloaded and re-hosted within Freshsales file storage limits during the migration.
Homesnap Pro
Saved Search / Favorite Property
Freshsales
Custom Field on Account
1:1Homesnap saved searches and favorited properties have no direct Freshsales equivalent object. These are preserved as text-formatted custom fields on the related Account record, listing property addresses, search criteria, and price ranges for manual reference and future Smart List rebuilding.
Homesnap Pro
Agent Performance Report
Freshsales
Custom Report
1:1Homesnap Business Suite produces agent production metrics and office rankings that do not map to any Freshsales native object or report template. These are exported as CSV reference files and must be fully rebuilt as custom Freshsales Analytics reports or external BI dashboards post-migration.
Homesnap Pro
MLS Listing Data
Freshsales
Account (supplemental)
1:1Homesnap MLS data accessed through the platform is licensed per MLS subscription agreement, not owned data. It cannot be legally exported to Freshsales. Agents must maintain MLS access independently through Homes.com or direct MLS tools. Listing associations used in client conversations are noted on Account records as text references.
Homesnap Pro
Homesnap Marketing / Concierge Leads
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Buyer and seller leads generated through Homesnap Concierge map to Freshsales Leads with lead source set to 'Homesnap Concierge'. These records are treated as standard leads and follow Freshsales' native lead scoring, qualification workflow, and conversion process from day one in the new CRM.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract Homesnap agent and client data via scoped API
FlitStack AI authenticates against the Homesnap Pro API using scoped read access scoped to the migrating agent's account. We extract agent profiles, client contacts, property associations, showing activities, in-app messages, and Concierge lead records. Data is written to a staging environment in JSON format with original timestamps, IDs, and owner references preserved. MLS listing data accessed through Homesnap is identified as read-only licensed content and excluded from extraction.
Create Freshsales Users and resolve owner assignments
Before any data lands in Freshsales, we create User records for each migrating Homesnap agent. Matching is performed by email address. Unmatched agents are flagged in a pre-migration report with instructions for either inviting them to Freshsales or reassigning their records to a fallback owner. This step sequences first because Freshsales requires a valid OwnerId on all Leads, Contacts, and Deals.
Migrate property records to Accounts, then contacts to Contacts and Leads
We sequence the migration carefully to respect Freshsales' foreign-key dependencies between objects. Accounts are migrated first because they serve as the parent records for contacts and deals. Then Contacts and Leads are migrated, with Leads receiving records that lack verified email addresses per Freshsales data quality rules. Deals linked to closed transactions follow, mapped to their associated Account records. Activity records including showings and messages are migrated last, linked to their parent Account and Contact records via the preserved IDs. Each batch undergoes validation against Freshsales field-level requirements before committing to ensure data integrity.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 100 to 500 records spanning agents, clients, properties, and activities — is migrated first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field values. You verify that property addresses mapped correctly to Account names, that contact routing (Lead vs. Contact) matched your business rules, and that activity timestamps are preserved. Sample approval gates the full migration run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Freshsales with a 24-48 hour delta-pickup window following the initial load. Any records created or modified in Homesnap Pro during the cutover window are captured and applied to Freshsales before the final audit. Audit logs document every record created, every transformation applied, and every record that required manual resolution. One-click rollback reverts the Freshsales instance to its pre-migration state if reconciliation uncovers critical issues.
