Overview
Homesnap Pro was a mobile-first real estate CRM centered on property listings, showing coordination, and agent-client communication. Salesforce Sales Cloud is a general-purpose CRM that requires real estate data to be modeled using standard objects (Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity) plus custom objects for property listings and showing records. The migration extracts client contacts, property listings, showing history, messages, and transaction data from Homesnap Pro and loads them into Salesforce using the Bulk API, with a parallel delta‑pickup phase that captures any changes made during the cutover window. We resolve Homesnap Pro agents to Salesforce users by email match, and we preserve the original create timestamps as custom datetime fields (because Salesforce’s CreatedDate reflects the migration load time). Homesnap Pro custom properties are mapped to custom fields scoped to the appropriate Salesforce object, such as Client_Type__c on Contact or Status__c on Property__c. Workflows, automations, and MLS feed logic have no direct Salesforce equivalent and must be rebuilt; we export the source configuration definitions to support that rebuild work.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Homesnap Pro object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, 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
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Homesnap Pro agents resolve to Salesforce Users by email match. Agents without a matching Salesforce user are flagged before migration so the brokerage can invite them or assign their records to a fallback user owner. The flagged list includes each agent’s email and mismatch reason. The brokerage may choose to create Salesforce users or assign the records to an admin owner to maintain data integrity throughout the cutover.
Homesnap Pro
Client
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact / Lead
1:manyHomesnap Pro clients who are active buyers or sellers become Salesforce Contacts. Prospects without a transaction history route to Leads. The split is based on the presence of a linked transaction in the source data — clients with at least one showing or offer become Contacts.
Homesnap Pro
Client (buyer/seller type)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom field on Contact
1:1Homesnap Pro's buyer/seller classification migrates as a custom pick-list field (Client_Type__c) on Contact. Values (Buyer, Seller, Both, Landlord, Tenant) are preserved exactly and mapped to the custom field's pick-list options in Salesforce. This custom field enables segmentation for targeted marketing and reporting, and can be marked as required on the Contact layout to enforce data consistency. Additional sub‑types can be added as separate pick‑list values during the schema build.
Homesnap Pro
Property / Listing
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Property__c (custom object)
1:1Homesnap Pro listings have no Salesforce standard equivalent. We create a Property__c custom object with fields for address, MLS number, list price, status, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and listing agent. The object links to the listing Contact (seller) via a lookup.
Homesnap Pro
Property (listing status)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Property__c.Status__c
1:1Homesnap Pro listing status values (Active, Pending, Sold, Withdrawn, Expired) map to Salesforce custom pick-list values on Property__c.Status__c. Status transitions and their timestamps are preserved as an audit text field, allowing you to reconstruct the history of each listing post‑migration. This audit field records the previous status, the new status, and the date/time of the change, providing a timeline for reporting and compliance without relying on Salesforce’s native audit capabilities.
Homesnap Pro
Showing
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Showing__c (custom object) / Event
1:1Homesnap Pro showings map to a custom Showing__c object linked to Property__c and Contact. We also create Salesforce Events for calendar visibility. Each showing stores agent, client, property, scheduled time, status, feedback, and notes. The Showing__c record includes lookups to the showing agent User and the client Contact, ensuring referential integrity. Status values (Confirmed, Completed, Cancelled, No‑show) are mapped to a pick‑list, and feedback is stored in a text field.
Homesnap Pro
Message / Communication
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task / EmailMessage
1:1Homesnap Pro client messages map to Salesforce Tasks with Type='Email' or 'Call' depending on content. Original timestamps, sender, and recipient are preserved. Rich-text formatting in messages is converted to plain text for Salesforce compatibility. If a message includes an attachment, the file is saved to Salesforce Files and linked to the related Contact or Property record, maintaining a complete communication history within the CRM.
Homesnap Pro
Transaction / Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Homesnap Pro transactions map directly to Salesforce Opportunities. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and agent owner are preserved, and transaction stages are mapped to Salesforce Opportunity Stage values per the brokerage's sales process. Custom fields for commission amount, agent split, and transaction type are added to capture financial context. Property is stored as a lookup to Property__c, and client is linked via AccountId, with contacts added through OpportunityContactRole.
Homesnap Pro
Transaction commission
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity custom fields
1:1Homesnap Pro commission data (agreed commission, split percentage, transaction fee) migrates to custom Number and Currency fields on Opportunity (Commission_Amount__c, Agent_Split__c). These are non‑standard fields that require a Salesforce admin to expose them on the page layouts and to include them in reports and dashboards. By adding these fields to the Opportunity layout, agents can view commission details inline, and managers can build commission‑related reports without relying on external spreadsheets.
Homesnap Pro
Custom properties (Homesnap Pro extended fields)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom fields on relevant object
1:1Every Homesnap Pro custom property is analyzed for type and object scope. Numeric properties map to Number fields, text to Text, dates to Date, and pick‑lists to pick‑lists. We create each as a custom field on the appropriate Salesforce object using the __c suffix naming convention.
Homesnap Pro
Attachment / File
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument / Salesforce Files
1:1Files attached to Homesnap Pro listings or transactions are downloaded and uploaded to Salesforce Files, linked to the Property__c, Opportunity, or Contact record. File size limits (25MB per file) are respected; files over limit are compressed. We preserve the file name and date, and create a Salesforce File version entry referencing the source system. If a file cannot be transferred due to size or format, we log it for handling.
Homesnap Pro
Team / Office (Homesnap Pro grouping)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account / Territory / Account Team
1:1Homesnap Pro teams and office groupings map to Salesforce Territories or Account Teams depending on the brokerage's Salesforce model. We surface this as a planning decision before migration runs, since the choice affects sharing rules, record access, and reporting hierarchies. During planning, we help you define whether teams should be modeled as Territories, Account Teams, or a combination, and we document the implications for agent onboarding and performance tracking.

Migration approach
Scope and export from Homesnap Pro API
We authenticate against the Homesnap Pro API using your credentials and export all record types: clients, properties, showings, transactions, messages, and custom properties. We assess API rate limits and pagination to determine the extraction timeline. If your brokerage has already lost API access, we work with whatever data export is available from CoStar's transition tools and flag any gaps in the data quality report.
Design Salesforce custom objects and fields
Based on the exported data, we design the Property__c, Showing__c, and any additional custom objects needed for your brokerage's data. We deliver a schema plan listing every custom field, type, pick-list value, and object relationship. Your Salesforce admin creates these before data validation runs. We also identify which Salesforce standard fields (Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity) receive migrated data and configure value mappings for pick-lists like listing status and transaction type.
Resolve agents by email and assign ownership
Homesnap Pro agents are matched to Salesforce Users by email address. Unmatched agents are flagged before migration — your team either creates Salesforce users for them or designates a fallback owner such as a designated admin account. Every migrated record lands with a valid OwnerId in Salesforce so no orphaned records exist after the migration, and we also map each agent’s role or profile where present to maintain reporting hierarchies. If an agent’s email cannot be resolved, we assign the record to the designated fallback user and note the discrepancy for later resolution.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (typically 200–500 records covering clients, properties, showings, and transactions) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to destination field values so you can verify property status mapping, showing date preservation, and transaction stage routing before the full run commits. The sample run also validates that custom pick‑list values, required fields, and lookup relationships resolve correctly. Any mapping errors are corrected before the bulk load proceeds, and we provide a detailed validation report highlighting any records that require manual review.
Full migration with delta-pickup and rollback
The full dataset loads into Salesforce using Bulk API to handle high record volumes efficiently. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified in Homesnap Pro during the cutover window so Salesforce reflects the final state at go-live. An audit log records every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation against the source export shows discrepancies that exceed your tolerance threshold.
