Overview
Real Estate 7 is a WordPress theme with a built-in CRM (CT Leads Pro) that stores contacts, property listings, tasks, and lead scores in the WordPress database. HubSpot CRM provides a dedicated SaaS platform with Contacts, Companies, Deals, and support for custom objects — but Real Estate 7 data lives in WordPress custom tables rather than a standard API, requiring database-level extraction and schema transformation. The migration carries Real Estate 7 contacts, companies, property listings, tasks, notes, and lead-score values into HubSpot. HubSpot's custom objects (Enterprise tier) handle the property listing model that has no standard equivalent. Workflows, IDX integrations, Follow Up Boss connections, and marketing-automation logic do not migrate — those require a separate rebuild plan. FlitStack sequences the export from WordPress, transforms the data shape, and loads it into HubSpot via the HubSpot API, running a field-level diff before committing the full dataset. All original timestamps, owner assignments, and lead-score history are preserved so your agents see a complete prospect picture from day one in the new system.
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 Real Estate 7 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.
Real Estate 7
CT Contact / wp_users + wp_usermeta
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Real Estate 7 stores contacts in WordPress user tables and a custom CT Contact post type. HubSpot Contact receives firstname, lastname, email, phone, address, and custom properties directly. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users — unmatched owners flagged before migration.
Real Estate 7
CT Company (brokerage / agency)
HubSpot
Company
1:1Brokerage and agency records in Real Estate 7 map directly to HubSpot Company objects. The mapping preserves company name, domain, address, industry classification, and employee count. Parent-child company hierarchies present in Real Estate 7 are maintained through HubSpot's parent_company_id association field, ensuring organizational structure transfers intact.
Real Estate 7
CT Listing (property)
HubSpot
Custom Object: Property__c
1:1Real Estate 7's CT Listing is a custom post type with price, beds, baths, sqft, MLS ID, property type, status, showing instructions, and HOA fee fields. HubSpot has no standard Property object — we create a Property__c custom object (Enterprise) and map every listing field. Address components compose into HubSpot's street, city, state, zip format.
Real Estate 7
CT Listing status (Active / Pending / Sold)
HubSpot
Property__c.Status__c
1:1Listing status values from Real Estate 7 map to a Property__c.Status__c pick-list in HubSpot. The 'Active' status maps directly to 'Active', 'Pending' maps to 'Under Contract', and 'Sold' maps to 'Closed'. Any custom or non-standard status values present in Real Estate 7 require individual value-by-value mapping during the planning phase before migration runs.
Real Estate 7
Contact-to-Listing associations (lead interested in property)
HubSpot
Custom junction object: Property_Interest__c
1:1Real Estate 7 tracks which contacts are interested in which listings. HubSpot's standard Contact-Deal association doesn't cover property interests — we create a Property_Interest__c junction object linking Contact to Property__c with fields for interest type (buyer / seller / renter), status, and date.
Real Estate 7
Lead score (hubspotscore)
HubSpot
Contact.Lead_Score__c (custom)
1:1Real Estate 7 calculates a 0–100 lead score based on engagement. We preserve this as Lead_Score__c on HubSpot Contact. HubSpot's native lead scoring is separate and must be rebuilt as a HubSpot Workflow or Breeze AI feature — the historical score value is preserved for reporting continuity.
Real Estate 7
Real Estate 7 Alerts (property alerts assigned to leads)
HubSpot
HubSpot Lists (static + active)
1:manyReal Estate 7 lets agents create property alerts and assign them to leads. HubSpot has no direct alert object — we split these into HubSpot Lists (static lists per alert type) and Workflow enrollment triggers. Active alert subscriptions become Workflows that re-enroll contacts when matching properties are added.
Real Estate 7
Task (follow-up, showing, call log)
HubSpot
Task
1:1Real Estate 7 task records (follow-ups, showing schedules, call logs) map to HubSpot Tasks. Original due dates, owners, and completion status preserved. Task subject and body translate directly. Tasks linked to Property__c records maintain the association via the Property_Interest__c junction or a custom task field.
Real Estate 7
Note (agent notes on contacts / listings)
HubSpot
Engagement (Note)
1:1Agent notes created in Real Estate 7 transfer to HubSpot as Engagement Notes attached to the relevant Contact or Property__c record. We preserve original creation timestamps and owner IDs from the WordPress system. Notes containing rich-text formatting retain their formatting during migration. Any notes associated with listings are linked to the corresponding Property__c record through a custom note association field to maintain context.
Real Estate 7
Campaign (Real Estate 7 marketing campaigns)
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow / Campaign (rebuild)
1:1Real Estate 7 campaign definitions (email lists, trigger conditions, timing rules) do not have a HubSpot equivalent at the data layer. We export campaign names, associated contact lists, and send-history as a reference CSV for your HubSpot admin to rebuild using HubSpot Workflows and Campaigns.
Real Estate 7
Attachment / File (listing photos, contracts)
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Real Estate 7 stores files attached to listings and contacts (photos, PDFs, contracts) in the WordPress media library. We download all media, re-upload to HubSpot Files, and associate them to the corresponding Contact or Property__c record. File size limits apply — HubSpot supports up to 250MB per file.
Real Estate 7
Follow Up Boss sync data
HubSpot
No equivalent (integration deprecated)
1:1Real Estate 7's Follow Up Boss integration syncs leads and activity data bidirectionally. After migration to HubSpot, the Follow Up Boss integration must be replaced with HubSpot's native lead management. Historical FUB activity (calls, texts, showings) is preserved as HubSpot Tasks and Notes.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Real Estate 7 WordPress database and map export targets
FlitStack requests read access to the WordPress database (wp-admin + phpMyAdmin or direct MySQL). We run a discovery query against wp_posts filtered by post_type (ct_contact, ct_listing, ct_company) and wp_postmeta to enumerate every custom field in use. We produce a data audit report: record counts per post type, custom field inventory with value samples, media file count, and owner/agent user IDs. This report confirms the extraction scope and identifies any custom post types your team has added beyond the standard Real Estate 7 schema.
Write WordPress export script and validate sample extract
FlitStack writes a PHP or MySQL export script that queries the WordPress database, extracts records in structured CSV format, and includes all custom meta fields. We run a test extraction on a 100-record sample, validate field completeness, and share the output for your review. Your developer approves the extraction logic before we run the full export. This step runs against a staging clone of your WordPress site if available, or during a low-traffic window on production with your approval.
Configure HubSpot custom object schema for property listings
While the WordPress export runs, FlitStack creates the Property__c custom object in HubSpot (requires Enterprise tier). We add all custom fields identified in the audit: price__c, bedrooms__c, bathrooms__c, square_feet__c, mls_id__c, property_type__c, status__c, hoa_fee__c, year_built__c, listing_agent__c, and the Property_Interest__c junction object linking Property__c to Contact. If your HubSpot plan is below Enterprise, we configure a Deal-based workaround and document the limitation in the migration plan.
Run full WordPress export and transform to HubSpot field format
The full export script runs against the WordPress database, extracting all contacts, companies, listings, tasks, notes, and media references. FlitStack transforms each record: field names map to HubSpot property names, pick-list values map via the value-mapping table, addresses decompose into HubSpot's street/city/state/zip fields, and owner IDs resolve to HubSpot user IDs by email match. Unresolved owners and malformed data are flagged in a pre-migration exception report for your team to address before the load runs.
Load sample migration and run field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 200–500 records across contacts, companies, listings, and tasks) loads into HubSpot via the HubSpot API. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values — you verify lead score preservation, address decomposition, listing price formatting, and owner resolution. Any mapping errors are corrected before the full run. You sign off on the sample diff before we schedule the full migration window.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback window
The full dataset loads into HubSpot via the Bulk Import API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new or modified records in Real Estate 7 during cutover. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record operation (created, updated, skipped, errored) and provides a one-click rollback that removes all migrated records if reconciliation fails. After delta-pickup closes, your team validates record counts and a random record spot-check before formally accepting the migration.
