Overview
Real Estate CRM platforms typically store contacts with associated property interests, companies as client organizations, and deals organized by transaction type or pipeline stage. HighLevel consolidates these into Contacts, Companies, and Opportunities with a built-in pipeline builder, plus support for custom objects when your data model extends beyond the standard set. The migration carries over all contact records with names, emails, phones, addresses, and custom property fields. Company records migrate as HighLevel Companies with associated contact links. Deals and their associated pipelines map to HighLevel Opportunities and Opportunity Pipelines with stage-by-stage value mapping. Activity history—calls logged, emails sent, meetings scheduled—transfers as HighLevel Tasks and Events with original timestamps and assigned owners preserved. Workflows, automation sequences, and drip campaigns do not migrate; HighLevel's Workflow Builder is architecturally different from most Real Estate CRM automation engines, so FlitStack exports your existing workflow definitions as a reference document your team can use to rebuild them in HighLevel. We use HighLevel's API (200,000 requests/day per sub-account) to pull data from the source and write to HighLevel, handling relationship resolution between contacts, companies, and opportunities during the migration run. Custom fields that have no native HighLevel equivalent become custom fields in HighLevel's Contact, Company, or Opportunity object as appropriate.
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 CRM object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Real Estate CRM
Contact
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Real Estate CRM contacts map directly to HighLevel Contacts. The primary company association migrates as a lookup link to the corresponding HighLevel Company record. Multiple company associations collapse to a primary Company link with secondary associations preserved as tags for reference.
Real Estate CRM
Company
HighLevel
Company
1:1Real Estate CRM company records map to HighLevel Companies. Company addresses, domains, and industry classifications transfer as HighLevel Company fields. If your Real Estate CRM supports parent‑child company hierarchies, the parent link migrates as the HighLevel Parent Company lookup. Phone numbers and any custom company fields such as ‘License Number’ also transfer to the corresponding HighLevel fields.
Real Estate CRM
Deal / Transaction
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Real Estate CRM deals (transactions, listings, or closings) map to HighLevel Opportunities. The deal name becomes the Opportunity name. Deal value or sale price maps to the Opportunity value field. The deal stage (e.g., Prospect, Under Contract, Closed) maps to the corresponding stage in the HighLevel Opportunity Pipeline.
Real Estate CRM
Pipeline
HighLevel
Opportunity Pipeline
1:1Each Real Estate CRM pipeline (e.g., Buyer Pipeline, Seller Pipeline, Rental Pipeline) becomes a separate HighLevel Opportunity Pipeline. Pipeline stages within each source pipeline map to corresponding stages in the destination pipeline, preserving stage order and probability percentages where configured.
Real Estate CRM
Activity: Call Log
HighLevel
Task
1:1Call logs from the Real Estate CRM transfer as HighLevel Tasks with Task Type set to 'Call'. The call notes, duration (if stored), and outcome fields migrate as the task description. Original call timestamp and assigned owner are preserved. Tasks attach to the corresponding Contact or Opportunity record.
Real Estate CRM
Activity: Email
HighLevel
Task
1:1Email history from the Real Estate CRM becomes HighLevel Tasks with Task Type set to 'Email'. Subject line and email body transfer as the task subject and description. HighLevel's Conversation Stream captures email threads at the contact level; the migrated task provides the historical record alongside new emails sent from HighLevel.
Real Estate CRM
Activity: Meeting / Showing
HighLevel
Task / Calendar Event
1:1Scheduled showings and meetings map to HighLevel Tasks with meeting-specific fields (property address, showing type) preserved as task descriptions. If the source stores calendar entries with start/end times, those transfer as Calendar Events in HighLevel linked to the relevant Contact or Opportunity.
Real Estate CRM
Custom Property: Lead Source
HighLevel
Custom Field on Contact
1:1Lead source properties (Zillow, Realtor.com, Referral, etc.) migrate as a HighLevel custom pick-list field on Contact. The pick-list values are created in HighLevel based on the distinct values found in the source data, then each contact's value maps to the corresponding pick-list option.
Real Estate CRM
Custom Property: Property Interest
HighLevel
Custom Field on Contact + Tag
1:1Property interest fields (desired neighborhoods, property types, price range) migrate as individual custom fields on the HighLevel Contact. High‑value or high‑priority interest tags (e.g., 'Hot Buyer', 'Investor') also become HighLevel Tags for segmentation use in Workflows and Smart Lists. Price range can be split into two number fields (minimum and maximum) to enable range queries, while interest tags trigger drip sequences and stage updates.
Real Estate CRM
Custom Object: Property Listing
HighLevel
Custom Object
1:1Real Estate CRM custom objects representing property listings map to HighLevel Custom Objects. Listing address, price, status, and bedrooms/bathrooms become Custom Object fields. Listing-to-contact associations (interested buyers) migrate as Custom Object relationships linking the listing record to the corresponding HighLevel Contact.
Real Estate CRM
Owner / Agent
HighLevel
User (assigned via email match)
1:1Real Estate CRM owner or agent IDs resolve to HighLevel Users by email address. Before migration, we match each owner email to an existing HighLevel user. Unmatched owners are flagged so your team can create or invite the user to HighLevel before the full migration run.
Real Estate CRM
Attachment / File
HighLevel
File (attached to record)
1:1File attachments on contacts, companies, or deals download from the source and re-upload to the corresponding HighLevel record. File names and upload timestamps are preserved. HighLevel's file size limit (25MB per file) applies; files exceeding this threshold are flagged for manual handling.
Real Estate CRM
Tag / Label
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Tags from the Real Estate CRM (e.g., 'Hot Lead', 'Past Client', 'Investor') migrate as HighLevel Tags on the corresponding Contact record. Tags are preserved verbatim where they exactly match existing HighLevel tags; new tags are created in HighLevel as part of the migration.
Real Estate CRM
Note / Comment
HighLevel
Contact Note / Opportunity Note
1:1Notes attached to contacts or deals migrate as HighLevel Notes on the corresponding Contact or Opportunity. Note content, author, and creation timestamp are preserved. Rich-text formatting in source notes is simplified to plain text in HighLevel Notes.
Real Estate CRM
Workflow / Automation
HighLevel
N/A
1:1Workflows, sequences, and automation rules do not migrate. FlitStack exports the workflow definitions (trigger types, conditions, action sequences) from the source as a structured JSON and PDF reference document. Your team uses this to rebuild automations in HighLevel's Workflow Builder, which operates on a different trigger‑action model than most Real Estate CRM automation engines. The export also includes a visual diagram of each workflow’s logic flow.

Migration approach
Audit source data and map to HighLevel schema
FlitStack connects to your Real Estate CRM via API and performs a data audit: record counts by object, custom field inventory, pipeline and stage definitions, and activity volume. We compare this against HighLevel's standard objects (Contact, Company, Opportunity) and identify gaps that require custom fields or custom objects. This audit produces a Migration Plan document that lists the exact field mappings, value mappings, and any pre-requisites (e.g., creating a HighLevel Opportunity Pipeline before migration data lands). You review and approve the plan before any data moves.
Create HighLevel pipelines and custom fields
With the Migration Plan approved, your team (or FlitStack with admin credentials) creates the HighLevel Opportunity Pipelines, custom fields on Contact and Company, and any custom objects needed for property listings or other source-specific entities. FlitStack delivers a step-by-step setup guide with the exact field names, pick-list values, and field types to create in HighLevel so there is no guesswork. Pipeline stages are set up with the correct probability percentages and ordering before migration data is written.
Resolve owners and users by email
Real Estate CRM owner or agent IDs are resolved to HighLevel Users by email address match. FlitStack generates a User Resolution Report listing every owner in the source, their email, and whether a matching HighLevel user exists. Unmatched owners are flagged with a clear action: invite the user to HighLevel first, or designate a fallback owner for their records. No record migrates without a confirmed HighLevel user assignment; records without a resolved owner are held and reported separately for manual assignment after migration.
Run sample migration with field-level verification
A representative slice of data—typically 100 to 500 records covering contacts from each pipeline stage, companies with multiple contacts, and records with custom field values—migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values so you can verify that stage names mapped correctly, custom fields populated as expected, and owner resolution worked. You approve the sample before the full migration run commits. This step is the checkpoint that prevents a full-data bad run.
Full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates to HighLevel. A delta-pickup window—typically 24 to 48 hours—runs after the initial bulk load, capturing any records created or modified in the Real Estate CRM during the migration window. FlitStack uses HighLevel's API (200,000 requests/day per sub-account) to write data in batches, managing rate limits and backoff automatically. An audit log records every operation. If reconciliation reveals missing records or mismatched field values, one-click rollback reverts the HighLevel environment to its pre-migration state so the team can investigate and re-run.
Post-migration validation and workflow reference delivery
FlitStack delivers a Validation Report comparing record counts and field populations between source and destination. You verify that contact totals, opportunity totals, and custom field覆盖率 match expectations. Simultaneously, FlitStack delivers the Workflow Export package: a JSON and PDF document describing your source workflow triggers, conditions, and actions. Your team uses this to rebuild automations in HighLevel's Workflow Builder. FlitStack's support team is available for a 30-day post-migration window to address data discrepancies or mapping questions.
