Overview

What this migration involves

PropertySimple is a real-estate CRM where the primary object is the agent profile, with listings, ZIP-code marketing zones, leads, and social media automation as first-class features. Twenty CRM follows a conventional CRM data model built around People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks — plus unlimited custom objects via Settings → Data Model. The two platforms share no native object equivalence for PropertySimple's listing, ad campaign, and ZIP-code marketing data, which means those objects must be translated into Twenty's generic custom object framework. We export PropertySimple contacts, companies, deals, and notes via their export API, then map them into Twenty's standard objects, create a PropertyListing custom object for listing data, and use a custom AgentRelation junction object to preserve agent-to-contact associations. PropertySimple's social media automation and ad campaign logic do not migrate — we export workflow definitions as a reference document for rebuild. Activity history migrates as Tasks linked to the relevant People record. Owner resolution uses email matching against Twenty workspace members. The migration runs in two passes: a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run, and a delta pickup window captures in-flight changes during cutover.

PropertySimple

What's pushing teams away

  • Agents report that customer support is slow to respond and difficult to reach when complex issues arise, leading to frustration during critical campaign periods.
  • The AI-generated content quality is inconsistent, with some agents noting that auto-generated posts require significant editing before publishing.
  • Reviews.io data shows a low average rating of 2.70, with only 26 customers out of 97 giving positive reviews, indicating a significant portion of users are dissatisfied with the platform.
  • Some agents experience confusion with the platform's CRM features, finding them less robust than dedicated real estate CRMs for managing transaction pipelines and client relationships.

Choosing

Twenty CRM logo

Twenty CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Top open-source CRM on GitHub with 40.6K stars, giving teams full source code access and infrastructure ownership without per-feature licensing surprises.
  • Free self-hosting under AGPL-3.0 means unlimited users and custom objects for the cost of cloud infrastructure alone, typically $20–100/month.
  • Pricing page explicitly mocks competitors for charging add-on fees for API access, webhooks, and workflows — transparency that resonates with RevOps teams burned by Salesforce.
  • Unlimited custom objects and fields with no price impact, letting teams shape the data model to their business rather than forcing business into rigid schemas.
  • Modern TypeScript/React/PostgreSQL stack means developer-led teams can extend, self-host, or integrate without fighting legacy architecture.

Object mapping

How PropertySimple objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a PropertySimple 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.

PropertySimple

Contact / Lead

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple contact records map directly to Twenty People. Every field — name, email, phone, address — transfers as a standard People field. Owner resolution uses email match against Twenty workspace members; any PropertySimple owner without a Twenty account is flagged before migration commits.

PropertySimple

Company / Brokerage

maps to

Twenty CRM

Companies

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple brokerage and company records map to Twenty Companies. The company name, domain/website, industry classification, employee count, and annual revenue transfer as standard fields. Parent-child company hierarchies in PropertySimple map to Twenty's Parent CompanyId relation, preserving organizational structures across both platforms. Any company records without parent relationships import as standalone Twenty Company entries.

PropertySimple

Deal / Transaction

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunities

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple deal records map to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name, amount, stage, expected close date, and owner transfer as standard Opportunity fields. Stage names are mapped value-by-value to Twenty's Opportunities stage pick-list, preserving probability percentages and forecast categories for accurate pipeline reporting. Deal notes and custom fields migrate to the Opportunity record's note section and custom fields respectively.

PropertySimple

Agent Profile

maps to

Twenty CRM

People + AgentRelation custom junction

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple's agent profile has no direct equivalent in Twenty's standard model. We translate the agent to a People record with a custom AgentRelation junction object linking the agent to their contacts and deals — this preserves the agent-centric relationship without forcing every agent into a standard contact role.

PropertySimple

Listing / Property

maps to

Twenty CRM

PropertyListing custom object

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple listing records have no Twenty standard equivalent. We create a PropertyListing custom object in Twenty via Settings → Data Model before migration. Fields include listing address, price, status, bedrooms/bathrooms, listing date, and a relation to the agent People record via a custom junction.

PropertySimple

ZIP Code Marketing Zone

maps to

Twenty CRM

Territory custom object + relation

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple's ZIP-code marketing exclusivity zones are a billing and marketing construct with no Twenty equivalent. We create a Territory custom object to hold ZIP codes, exclusivity status, and associated campaigns — linked to the agent People record and the PropertyListing records in that zone.

PropertySimple

Ad Campaign / Autopilot

maps to

Twenty CRM

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple Autopilot ad campaigns and social media posting schedules are a platform-specific billing feature with no data model in Twenty. We export campaign definitions as a reference document for rebuild using Twenty's workflow builder or an external automation tool like Zapier or n8n.

PropertySimple

Note / Call Log

maps to

Twenty CRM

Notes + Tasks

1:many
Fully supported

PropertySimple free-form notes and call logs split into Twenty's Notes and Tasks objects. Text notes become Twenty Notes linked to the relevant People, Company, or Opportunity record. Call logs with disposition, duration, and outcome become Tasks with the Task type set to Call and original timestamps preserved.

PropertySimple

Contact Custom Properties

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom fields on People

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple custom contact properties migrate as custom fields on Twenty's People object. These must be pre-created in Settings → Data Model before the migration run. We capture the property name, type, and pick-list values to configure the correct field type in Twenty.

PropertySimple

Lead Source

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom field on People

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple lead source tracking (referral, website inquiry, ZIP code advertisement, social media, etc.) has no standard equivalent in Twenty People. We create a LeadSource custom select field on the People object via Settings → Data Model and map each PropertySimple source value to the corresponding option. This preserves attribution data for reporting and allows teams to analyze which channels generate the most qualified leads in Twenty's analytics views.

PropertySimple

Activity / Engagement History

maps to

Twenty CRM

Tasks

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple engagement records — emails, calls, meetings, and follow-up tasks — migrate as Twenty Tasks linked to the relevant People record. Each Task preserves the original timestamp, activity type, and owner. Task.type is set to Email, Call, or Meeting based on the source activity kind.

PropertySimple

Attachment / File

maps to

Twenty CRM

Notes (with file attachment)

1:1
Fully supported

PropertySimple file attachments on contacts, companies, and deals re-upload to Twenty Notes as file attachments. File size limits are enforced at 25MB per file. Inline images in PropertySimple notes are extracted, rehosted as file attachments in Twenty, and linked to the same Note record.

Pair-specific challenges

  • PropertySimple agent profiles have no natural People record equivalent in Twenty

    PropertySimple's agent profile is the primary entity in that platform — it carries the agent's social accounts, ZIP-code zones, ad campaign data, and billing relationship. Twenty has no agent-specific object; agents are just People records. We handle this by creating a People record for each agent and building a custom AgentRelation junction object in Twenty's Settings → Data Model that links agents to their contacts, listings, and deals. This junction object must be created before the migration run, and the migration plan must document which Twenty workspace users correspond to which PropertySimple agents so the relation records are populated correctly.

  • Listing, ZIP-zone, and ad campaign data require custom objects that must be pre-created in Twenty

    PropertySimple's listing records, ZIP-code marketing zones, and Autopilot campaign data are not standard CRM objects — they have no Twenty standard equivalent. The migration plan must define the PropertyListing and Territory custom objects, their fields, and their relations in Twenty's Settings → Data Model before any data loads. The Twenty CSV import process creates records but not fields — if the custom objects and fields do not exist at migration time, the import will fail or silently drop those records. We include a custom object setup checklist as part of every PropertySimple migration plan.

  • Social media automation and ad campaign logic cannot migrate and must be rebuilt

    PropertySimple's Autopilot Plan and ZIP-code ad campaigns are defined by the platform's own marketing automation engine, not stored as CRM workflow records. There is no exportable workflow definition — the automation logic lives in PropertySimple's proprietary system. Twenty has no native social media automation and its workflow builder supports triggers, conditions, and actions but does not have a native TikTok or Instagram integration. We export a reference document describing each active campaign (platform, posting schedule, target audience, associated listings) so your team can rebuild using Twenty's workflow builder, Zapier, or a dedicated social media scheduling tool. This step is always manual and must be scoped separately from the data migration.

  • Twenty CSV import limit of 20,000 records per file constrains large PropertySimple datasets

    Twenty's CSV import supports a maximum of 20,000 records per file per object type. PropertySimple accounts with large volumes of historical contacts, companies, and deals may exceed this limit on a single import pass. We handle this by splitting large object exports into multiple CSV files and running sequential import passes, maintaining referential integrity by ensuring the 'one' side of each relation (Companies first, then People, then Opportunities) completes before related records are imported. For datasets over 50,000 total records, we recommend the API-based import path using Twenty's REST or GraphQL API to bypass the CSV file size constraint entirely.

  • PropertySimple has no documented public API for bulk record extraction

    Unlike mainstream CRMs with well-documented REST APIs, PropertySimple's export capability is limited to CSV downloads from the UI. There is no bulk API access for programmatic extraction, which means large datasets must be exported in multiple UI sessions or via a browser-automation approach. We work around this by coordinating with your team to run full exports from PropertySimple's Settings → Data Management section before migration begins. Any records not accessible via the UI export must be manually extracted, which adds time to the discovery phase and can affect the migration timeline estimate.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful PropertySimple to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit PropertySimple data and create Twenty workspace schema

    We export all PropertySimple contacts, companies, deals, notes, agent profiles, listings, and ZIP zones via the UI export function. Simultaneously, we create the Twenty workspace schema: People, Companies, and Opportunities standard objects are ready out of the box, but we create PropertyListing and Territory custom objects via Settings → Data Model, define all custom fields on People and Opportunities, and set up the AgentRelation junction object linking agents to their records. This schema must be complete before any data loads.

  2. Resolve agents and owners by email against Twenty workspace members

    Before migration, we collect the list of Twenty workspace members and match PropertySimple agent and owner records by email address. Any PropertySimple owner without a corresponding Twenty user is flagged — your team either creates the Twenty user first or assigns those records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Twenty without an owner assignment, which is required for Opportunities and all activity Tasks.

  3. Migrate Companies first, then People, then Opportunities, then custom objects

    Twenty's import order requires the 'one' side of every relation to exist before the 'many' side is imported. We sequence the migration: Companies → People (linked via companyId) → Opportunities (linked via companyId and People for contact roles) → PropertyListing custom object → Territory custom object → AgentRelation junction records → Notes and Tasks. This ordering prevents referential integrity failures and ensures that every contact has a valid companyId before the full migration runs.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run

    A representative slice of 100–500 records — covering a sample of contacts, companies, deals, a listing, and activity history — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source value, the mapped destination field, and the migrated value so you can verify the mapping logic before the full commit. This catches incorrect stage mappings, owner resolution failures, and custom field type mismatches before they affect your full dataset.

  5. Cut over with delta-pickup window and post-migration verification

    The full migration runs against Twenty using the validated mapping from the sample run. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in PropertySimple during the cutover. FlitStack AI uses scoped read access on PropertySimple — your team keeps working in PropertySimple throughout the migration. After the full run, we run a record-count reconciliation and field-completeness check against the source export, surfacing any gaps for manual review.
