Overview
Market Leader stores real estate data in a domain-specific schema: Leads with lead_source and referral_source, Companies with broker/agent associations, Deals with market_value and property_address, and Activities (calls, emails, showings) with original timestamps. Twenty CRM uses a clean, general-purpose schema with standard objects (People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, Tasks) that supports unlimited custom fields for anything domain-specific. We map Market Leader contacts → People, companies → Companies, deals → Opportunities, and property-address fields → custom text fields on the Opportunity record. Activities migrate as Tasks or Notes depending on content type. Market Leader's custom fields (lead tiers, listing status, referral type) become Twenty custom fields created before import. Workflows and drip campaigns do not migrate — Market Leader's automation logic must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder or via external sequencing tools. We handle the migration via CSV export from Market Leader and bulk import into Twenty using the documented import order (Companies → People → Opportunities → custom objects), with a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during the 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 Market Leader object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Market Leader
Contact / Lead
Twenty CRM
People
1:1Market Leader contacts and leads both map to Twenty's People object. We preserve the source object type in a custom field (Original_Object_Type__c) so you can filter reports by what the record was in Market Leader. Email, phone, name, and address fields map directly; owner resolution happens via email match against Twenty Workspace Members.
Market Leader
Company
Twenty CRM
Companies
1:1Market Leader companies map to Twenty's Companies object. Brokerage names, agent affiliations, and office associations migrate as text fields or custom fields depending on how Market Leader structures them. Multi-agent companies collapse to a single Company record with People linked via relationship fields.
Market Leader
Deal
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1Market Leader deals map to Twenty Opportunities with a value-mapping pass on the stage field. Real estate-specific fields (property_address, market_value, listing_type) migrate as Twenty custom text and currency fields on the Opportunity record. The deal owner maps to Twenty Opportunity assignee via email match.
Market Leader
Pipeline Stage
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
1:1Market Leader deal stages (New Lead, Showing Scheduled, Offer Made, Under Contract, Closed Won, Closed Lost) map value-by-value to Twenty Opportunity stage pick-list values. You choose which Twenty stages receive which Market Leader stages during the planning phase before migration runs. This mapping decision is documented in your field-mapping spreadsheet and reviewed with you before the migration commit.
Market Leader
Activity (Call / Email / Showing)
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Market Leader activities — calls, emails, showing notes, and general activity logs — map to Twenty Tasks. The original activity type is stored in a custom Task_Type__c field for reporting segmentation. Showing-specific fields (showing_date, feedback) become custom fields on the Task record. All activity timestamps map to Twenty's dueDate or completionDate fields depending on activity status.
Market Leader
Note / Comment
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1Market Leader notes and deal comments migrate to Twenty Notes attached to the corresponding People, Company, or Opportunity record based on the record context in Market Leader. Rich-text formatting is preserved as plain text during migration. Timestamp and author information maps to Twenty's built-in note metadata fields, ensuring your team retains full context on who created each note and when.
Market Leader
Lead Source
Twenty CRM
Custom Field on People
1:1Market Leader's lead_source and referral_source fields have no native equivalent in Twenty. We create a custom pick-list field (Lead_Source__c) on the People object before import, populate it from Market Leader's source values, and flag any unmapped values for your review.
Market Leader
Listing / Property Data
Twenty CRM
Custom Fields on Opportunity
1:1Market Leader stores listing-specific data (mls_number, property_type, bedrooms, bathrooms, square_footage) as deal properties. These map to custom fields on Twenty's Opportunity record. Fields are created in Twenty's Data Model before migration; their types match the source data (text, number, currency).
Market Leader
Campaign / Group
Twenty CRM
No Equivalent
1:1Market Leader campaigns (lead groups for bulk outreach, market-wide campaigns) have no direct Twenty equivalent. Campaign membership data is preserved as custom fields on People (Campaign_Name__c, Campaign_Date__c) as a reference record. The campaign's automation logic must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder.
Market Leader
User / Owner
Twenty CRM
Workspace Member
1:1Market Leader users and deal owners resolve against Twenty Workspace Members by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Twenty first or assigns their records to a fallback member. No record lands without a Twenty assignee.

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.
Market Leader gotchas
Contracted lead products are not native CRM objects
No documented public API for automated data extraction
Lead phone numbers frequently absent from exported records
Drip sequence logic cannot be ported as-is to non-Market Leader platforms
Cancellation notification buried in contract requires 60-day advance notice
Twenty CRM gotchas
Import order is enforced and critical
Export limited to 20,000 records and visible columns only
Soft-deleted records count toward uniqueness and trigger restores
API rate limits cap at 200 req/min on Organization tier
No native email sequences — follow-up cadences require external tools
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Market Leader data and build the field-mapping plan
We pull a full export of all active objects from Market Leader — Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Notes, and any custom properties. We audit record counts, identify duplicate patterns, flag missing required fields, and document every custom property by type. From this we build the field-mapping spreadsheet that defines every source-to-Twenty field mapping, the value maps for pick-list fields, and the list of custom fields that need to be created in Twenty before import. This plan is reviewed with you before any data moves.
Create Twenty custom fields and resolve workspace members
Before the migration file is uploaded, we create all custom fields in Twenty's Data Model — Lead_Source__c, Property_Address__c, MLS_Number__c, and all other domain-specific fields identified in the audit. We also map Market Leader owners to Twenty Workspace Members by email; unmatched owners are flagged so your team either invites them to Twenty or assigns them to a fallback member. No record is migrated without a confirmed Twenty assignee.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first into your Twenty workspace. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the imported Twenty records so you can verify that pick-list values mapped correctly, custom fields populated, and owner assignments resolved as expected. You approve the sample before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full data set migrates in the correct sequence — Companies first (the one-side of relationships), then People linked to Companies, then Opportunities linked to both, then custom objects last. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs after the primary load to capture any records created or modified in Market Leader during the cutover. Your team continues working in Market Leader throughout; FlitStack AI uses scoped read access only. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues.
