Overview
Real Estate 7 is a WordPress-integrated CRM that stores lead records, contact details, and basic deal pipeline data within a CMS-adjacent database structure. It prioritizes website lead capture and IDX integration over deep sales automation. Freshsales is a full-featured CRM with separate Lead, Contact, Account, and Deal objects, contact lifecycle stages, multiple sales pipelines, and a tiered feature model where custom modules and advanced workflows require the Enterprise plan. The migration carries Real Estate 7 contacts, companies, and deal records into Freshsales standard objects, maps Real Estate 7 lead statuses to Freshsales lifecycle stages, and surfaces custom property fields that require Freshsales custom field creation. Workflow automations, website integrations, and IDX connections do not migrate — these must be rebuilt using Freshsales workflows or evaluated against Freshsales' built-in capabilities. The migration uses API-based extraction from Real Estate 7 and bulk import into Freshsales with owner resolution by email match. During the migration, Real Estate 7 create dates and modification timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields to maintain historical data integrity. Clients on Freshsales Growth or Pro tiers will use custom fields for property associations, while Enterprise tier clients may opt for dedicated Property custom modules to maintain relational data structures.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Real Estate 7 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.
Real Estate 7
Contact / Lead
Freshsales
Contact / Lead
1:1Real Estate 7 contact records map to Freshsales Contacts when they include company association or transaction history. Records without company association map to Freshsales Leads. The split occurs based on whether the contact has a linked property or deal in Real Estate 7.
Real Estate 7
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Real Estate 7 company records representing brokerages, developer partners, and other business entities map directly to Freshsales Accounts. The mapping preserves company name, physical address, website URL, and industry classification as standard Freshsales Account fields. All company metadata from Real Estate 7 transfers without transformation, and the hierarchical relationship between contacts and their associated company is maintained during import into Freshsales.
Real Estate 7
Deal / Transaction
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Real Estate 7 transaction records representing property deals, listings, or sales opportunities migrate to Freshsales Deals. Each deal automatically inherits its linked contact and account relationships from the source transaction record. Deal stage names undergo value-by-value mapping to corresponding Freshsales pipeline stages configured in the target account during pre-migration setup.
Real Estate 7
Property Listing
Freshsales
Custom Field on Contact / Account
1:1Real Estate 7 stores property associations as linked records. Freshsales has no native property object in standard tiers, so property IDs and listing status migrate as custom text fields on the Contact or Account record. If the client has Freshsales Enterprise, a dedicated Property custom module can be created.
Real Estate 7
Lead Status
Freshsales
Lifecycle Stage
1:1Real Estate 7 lead status values (hot/warm/cold) map to Freshsales lifecycle stages. Hot maps to Sales Qualified Lead (SQL), warm maps to Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL), cold maps to Lead. Custom status values require pick-list value mapping in Freshsales before import.
Real Estate 7
Task / Follow-up
Freshsales
Task
1:1Real Estate 7 follow-up tasks and scheduled reminders migrate to Freshsales Tasks with full fidelity preservation. The original due dates, assigned task owners (resolved via email matching to Freshsales User records), and task completion status transfer directly. Completed tasks import with their status field set to 'Completed' and the original completion timestamp maintained for historical accuracy.
Real Estate 7
Email / Note
Freshsales
Note
1:1Real Estate 7 contact notes and email history text migrate as Freshsales Notes attached to the corresponding Contact or Account record. Rich-text formatting from HTML email content is simplified to plain text during migration, while the note body and association to the correct contact or account record are fully preserved in Freshsales.
Real Estate 7
User / Owner
Freshsales
User
1:1Real Estate 7 WordPress user accounts are resolved against Freshsales users by matching email addresses. Unmatched users are flagged in a pre-migration report before the migration runs. The client must assign a fallback Freshsales owner for records belonging to users not yet provisioned in Freshsales, ensuring no records remain unassigned after migration.
Real Estate 7
Campaign
Freshsales
Campaign
1:1Real Estate 7 marketing campaign records and their associated metadata migrate to Freshsales Campaigns with campaign name, start date, and end date preserved. Campaign membership records linking contacts to campaigns transfer as Freshsales Campaign Member records, each connected to the corresponding Contact record already imported into Freshsales.
Real Estate 7
Custom Contact Properties
Freshsales
Custom Fields
1:1Real Estate 7 custom contact properties (beyond standard fields) require Freshsales custom field creation before migration. FlitStack generates a custom field creation checklist based on the property inventory. Field type mapping applies: text properties to text fields, numeric properties to number fields, date properties to date fields.

Migration approach
Audit Real Estate 7 data inventory and Freshsales schema setup
FlitStack extracts the complete record inventory from Real Estate 7: contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes, campaigns, and custom contact properties. Simultaneously, we audit the target Freshsales account for existing pipelines, lifecycle stage pick-list values, custom field definitions, and user accounts. This phase produces a data readiness report identifying gaps in Freshsales schema that must be resolved before import, including missing pipeline stages, uncreated custom fields, and unmatched owner emails.
Create Freshsales custom fields and pipeline stages
Using the schema gap report from Phase 1, FlitStack creates the Freshsales custom fields and pipeline stage configurations required for the migration. This includes lifecycle stage pick-list values, custom fields for property IDs and budget ranges, and pipeline definitions matching the Real Estate 7 transaction stages. The client approves the custom field manifest and pipeline configuration before Phase 3 begins. This step is the primary determinant of migration timeline — any schema changes requested after Phase 3 add scope.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates from Real Estate 7 to Freshsales covering contacts, accounts, deals, and tasks. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values, including lifecycle stage mapping, owner resolution results, and custom field population. The client reviews the diff and validates lifecycle stage routing and deal stage assignment. Sample migration approval is required before the full production migration proceeds.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates from Real Estate 7 to Freshsales using API-based extraction and bulk import. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs in parallel with client sign-off on the migration, capturing any records modified in Real Estate 7 during the cutover period. FlitStack resolves all owner assignments by email match and flags any remaining unmatched owners with a remediation report. The audit log captures every import operation for reconciliation review.
Deliver reconciliation report and rollback plan
FlitStack delivers a post-migration reconciliation report showing record counts by object, mapping validation results, and a list of records that require manual review (typically records with unmapped custom fields or owner resolution failures). A one-click rollback plan is available if reconciliation reveals systematic issues affecting more than 5% of records. The client activates Freshsales as the primary CRM on the agreed go-live date, and the Real Estate 7 read-access credential is revoked.
