Overview
Propertybase is a real estate CRM built on the Salesforce platform, meaning its underlying data model uses Salesforce objects (Account, Contact, and custom objects with the __c suffix) extended with real estate-specific fields like Listings, Offers, and Enquiries. When migrating to HubSpot, the core challenge is translating Propertybase's Salesforce-centric schema into HubSpot's property-based model — Salesforce Account maps to HubSpot Company, Propertybase Individual Contact routes to HubSpot Contact, and Propertybase Listing and Offer map to HubSpot custom objects or Deals depending on your pipeline configuration. FlitStack AI extracts Propertybase data via the Salesforce Bulk API, mapping standard fields (name, email, phone, address) directly to HubSpot properties and creating HubSpot custom properties for Propertybase custom fields and real estate-specific attributes like square footage, MLS ID, zoning classification, and listing status. Associations between contacts, companies, listings, and offers are preserved as HubSpot associations or custom object relationships. Original create dates and modified timestamps are stored in custom datetime fields since HubSpot's native createdate is set at import time. Propertybase workflows, sequences, automation rules, and email templates do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder. Reports and dashboards are also not migrated; the underlying data moves, but you must recreate reporting in HubSpot. FlitStack delivers a workflow-export document summarizing your Propertybase automation logic as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Propertybase 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.
Propertybase
Account (Company)
HubSpot
Company
1:1Propertybase Company maps directly to HubSpot Company. Standard fields including company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue transfer as HubSpot properties without transformation. Parent-child company hierarchies in Propertybase map to HubSpot's parent company association, preserving the organizational structure across platforms. Address fields from Propertybase billing address map to HubSpot's company address properties.
Propertybase
Contact (Company Contact — Systemisindividual = FALSE)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Propertybase Company Contacts map to HubSpot Contacts with the company association pre-linked at import time. Standard fields including name, email, phone, and title transfer directly to HubSpot Contact properties. The Systemisindividual flag used in Propertybase to distinguish individual contacts from company contacts is dropped in HubSpot since HubSpot Contact objects are unified and do not require this distinction. Contact records land with their associated company already linked.
Propertybase
Contact (Individual Contact — Systemisindividual = TRUE)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Propertybase Individual Contacts map to HubSpot Contacts without a primary company association. The 'ghost' Account that Propertybase creates behind the scenes for Salesforce compliance is not replicated in HubSpot — the Contact lands cleanly without a company link unless you specify one.
Propertybase
Enquiry / Request
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1Propertybase Enquiries and Requests map to HubSpot Tickets as the closest equivalent for inbound inquiry tracking. Enquiry source, status, and description transfer as Ticket properties. If your team used Enquiries primarily as lead records rather than support tickets, HubSpot Deals or a custom object may be a better destination — FlitStack surfaces this choice before migration.
Propertybase
Listing (Project / Individual)
HubSpot
Custom Object (Listing) or Deal
1:1Propertybase Listings have no direct HubSpot equivalent. FlitStack creates a HubSpot Custom Object named 'Listing' with properties for address, price, listing status, square footage, MLS ID, zoning, and bedrooms/bathrooms. Alternatively, Listings can map to HubSpot Deals if your team prefers to track listings within the sales pipeline — this choice is made during planning.
Propertybase
Offer / Contract
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Propertybase Offers and Contracts map to HubSpot Deals. Offer amount, status, contingencies, and close date transfer as Deal properties. The offer is associated with the Listing (via Custom Object association or Deal association) and the purchasing Contact. Offer status (pending, accepted, rejected) maps to Deal stage.
Propertybase
Listing Agent / Owner
HubSpot
Contact (owner assignment)
1:1Propertybase Listing Agent and Owner fields store a user reference. FlitStack resolves these by email match to HubSpot users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so you can either invite them to HubSpot or reassign records to a fallback owner.
Propertybase
Activity History (Tasks, Events, Notes)
HubSpot
Engagement Timeline
1:1Propertybase activity history including calls, emails, meetings, and notes attached to contacts or listings migrates to HubSpot's engagement timeline. Original timestamps, owners, and body content are preserved exactly as they appear in Propertybase. Notes with rich-text formatting are re-imported as HubSpot engagement notes with formatting intact, and each engagement links to its associated contact or listing record.
Propertybase
Propertybase Custom Objects (e.g., Projects, Buildings)
HubSpot
HubSpot Custom Objects
1:1Any Propertybase custom objects beyond the standard set of Listing, Offer, and Enquiry map 1:1 to HubSpot Custom Objects. FlitStack creates the destination custom object schema in HubSpot before importing records, mapping each custom field to the equivalent HubSpot property type including picklists, dates, numbers, and text. This ensures complex entities such as Buildings or Projects transfer completely with all attributes intact.
Propertybase
Attachment / File (Media Loader)
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Propertybase file attachments (listing photos, contract PDFs) stored via Media Loader are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, then re-associated with the corresponding Listing or Offer record. HubSpot's 25MB per-file limit applies — larger files are flagged for manual handling.
Propertybase
Workflow Rules
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflows
1:1Propertybase Workflow Rules and Process Builder automations do not migrate. FlitStack exports your workflow definitions as a structured rebuild reference (trigger, criteria, actions) that your HubSpot admin can use to recreate equivalent automations in HubSpot's workflow builder.
Propertybase
Reports and Dashboards
HubSpot
HubSpot Reports
1:1Propertybase reports and Salesforce dashboards do not transfer due to platform differences in reporting architecture. The underlying data including contacts, companies, deals, and listings migrates completely, but report configurations must be rebuilt in HubSpot's report builder. FlitStack validates that all source data is present and correctly associated in HubSpot before you begin rebuilding reports, giving you confidence in your data foundation when you start recreating your analytics suite.

Migration approach
Audit Propertybase custom fields and create HubSpot custom properties
FlitStack extracts the full field inventory from your Propertybase org via the Salesforce API, including all custom fields on Account, Contact, Listing__c, Offer__c, and any additional custom objects. We generate a HubSpot custom property manifest listing every field that needs a destination property created. Your HubSpot admin (or our team via the HubSpot API) creates these properties before migration — schema must exist before data can land. This step also identifies formula and roll-up fields that will be absent from the export so you can plan post-migration recalculation.
Resolve owners and configure HubSpot user accounts
Propertybase owner assignments are Salesforce user references. FlitStack matches them to HubSpot users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged with the associated record count so your team can either invite them to HubSpot or reassign their records to a fallback owner before migration. This step ensures no record lands in HubSpot without a valid owner — a requirement for HubSpot's permission model to function correctly from day one.
Migrate accounts and companies first, then contacts, then custom objects
HubSpot requires company records to exist before contacts can be associated. FlitStack sequences the migration as: (1) Propertybase Accounts → HubSpot Companies, (2) Propertybase Contacts → HubSpot Contacts with company associations, (3) Propertybase Listings → HubSpot Custom Objects or Deals, (4) Propertybase Offers → HubSpot Deals linked to Listings and Contacts. This dependency chain prevents orphaned records and ensures foreign key relationships resolve correctly on the destination side.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, listings, and offers. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values so you can verify that custom field mapping, association links, owner resolution, and status value mapping all landed correctly. This sample validates the mapping plan before any production data moves, giving your team a chance to correct property configurations or value mappings before the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full migration runs against your HubSpot portal using the validated mapping plan. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Propertybase during the cutover period so your HubSpot portal reflects the final state at go-live. FlitStack generates a complete audit log of every record imported, every association created, and every field mapped. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals unexpected discrepancies, allowing you to revert to the pre-migration state without data loss.
