Overview

What this migration involves

Real Properties stores real estate data across contacts, companies, properties, and deals with property-specific fields like address, price, and square footage. Twenty CRM models this data using People, Companies, custom objects, and Opportunities objects. We map Real Properties contacts to Twenty's People object, companies to Companies, and create a Property custom object for property records. Deal data migrates as Opportunities with stage mapping from the source pipeline. Activity history including notes, tasks, and emails migrates to Twenty's Notes and Tasks objects. Custom fields that have no direct Twenty equivalent become custom fields on the matching object. Workflows, email sequences, and automation rules do not migrate because Twenty's workflow engine uses a different model and these must be rebuilt. The migration uses Twenty's REST API at 100 requests per minute on the Pro tier and 200 requests per minute on the Organization tier, with batch inserts for efficient bulk record creation. All records preserve their original create timestamps and owner assignments from Real Properties.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Real Properties

What's pushing teams away

  • Not applicable — there is no platform to leave. realproperties.com is a brokerage marketing site.
  • If the catalog intended to reference Lone Wolf's CRM product (the technology platform powering this site), users would migrate away for the typical reasons Lone Wolf customers cite (cost, support, integration depth) — but that is a separate product not at this URL.

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 Real Properties objects map to Twenty CRM

Each row shows how a Real Properties 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.

Real Properties

Contact

maps to

Twenty CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties contacts map 1:1 to Twenty People records. Email, phone, job title, and address fields migrate as standard Twenty People fields. The contact's primary company link resolves to a Twenty Company record by domain match during the migration pass. If a matching Company record doesn't exist, the contact is flagged for manual resolution before the full migration run. Duplicate detection runs on email address to prevent duplicate People records in Twenty.

Real Properties

Company

maps to

Twenty CRM

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties company records map directly to Twenty Companies. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and annual revenue migrate as standard Company fields. Parent-company hierarchies map to Twenty's Parent Company relation when configured. Companies without a parent company in the source map as top-level organizations. Industry pick-list values that don't match Twenty's default options are created as custom select options in the target workspace.

Real Properties

Property

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Object: Property

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties property records require a custom object in Twenty. Property-specific fields including address components, price, square footage, property type, MLS number, bedrooms, and bathrooms migrate as custom fields on the Property custom object. The Property object links to a Company record for the listing brokerage and to Opportunities for deal associations. Your Twenty admin must create this custom object in Settings > Data Model before migration begins.

Real Properties

Deal

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties deals map to Twenty Opportunities. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and owner migrate directly as standard Opportunity fields. Pipeline stages map to Twenty Opportunity stage values on a value-by-value basis using the source pipeline name as the key. Probability percentages from Real Properties stage configuration re-apply to the corresponding Twenty stage values. Deals without a stage assignment are flagged for manual stage assignment before the migration run.

Real Properties

Deal Property Link

maps to

Twenty CRM

Property Opportunity Relation

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties links deals to properties through a junction relationship where one deal can involve multiple properties such as portfolio sales. In Twenty, the Property custom object receives a relation to Opportunity, and deal-property links migrate as Opportunity-Property relation records using the property's unique source system identifier. If a deal references multiple properties, FlitStack AI creates multiple relation records linking that single Opportunity to each Property record.

Real Properties

Pipeline

maps to

Twenty CRM

Opportunity Stage Set

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties pipelines with multiple configurable stages such as Prospecting, Showing, Offer, Under Contract, and Closed map to a Twenty Opportunity stage set. Stage names and probability percentages are mapped value-by-value using the source pipeline name as the grouping key. Forecast category assignments from Real Properties are preserved as a custom pick-list field on Opportunity since Twenty handles forecast categorization differently. Your Twenty admin configures the stage set in Settings > Opportunities before migration.

Real Properties

Activity / Note

maps to

Twenty CRM

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties notes and activity logs migrate as Twenty Notes attached to the relevant People, Company, Property, or Opportunity record based on the source record association. Original create timestamps and owner assignments are preserved as note metadata including the original author and creation datetime. Activity type classifications from Real Properties are stored as a custom select field on the Note object for reporting purposes. Notes without a valid parent record are flagged for manual attachment during migration.

Real Properties

Task

maps to

Twenty CRM

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties tasks migrate to Twenty Tasks linked to the parent record which may be a People, Company, Opportunity, or Property custom object. Due dates, assignees, and completion status are preserved including whether the task is open, completed, or cancelled. Open tasks fire as Twenty workflow triggers after migration completes. Overdue tasks retain their original due date for prioritization in Twenty's task view. Task subject lines map to the Task title field directly.

Real Properties

Owner / User

maps to

Twenty CRM

Workspace Member

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties owners resolve to Twenty Workspace Members by email match during the pre-migration resolution pass. Unmatched owners are flagged by name and email address so your team can invite them to Twenty first or assign a fallback user. Records without a valid owner after resolution assign to the fallback user specified in the migration plan. Owner resolution prevents orphaned records in Twenty where no Workspace Member is assigned.

Real Properties

Attachment / File

maps to

Twenty CRM

File Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Property photos, listing documents, and contract attachments migrate as Twenty file attachments on the relevant Property, Company, or Opportunity record. Files re-upload to Twenty's storage system from the source URL or local export; original filenames and MIME types are preserved in the attachment metadata. File size limits apply per Twenty's hosting configuration; files exceeding 25MB are flagged during the data audit and the original URL is stored in a custom text field for reference.

Real Properties

Custom Field (Property)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field on Property Object

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties custom fields on Property records migrate as custom fields on the Property custom object in Twenty. Field types map on a type-aware basis: text to text, number to number, pick-list to select, and date to date. Custom field API names are preserved from Real Properties for traceability in the migration audit log. Pick-list values from Real Properties are created as select options in Twenty. Required field settings are honored if the target field has a value in the source.

Real Properties

Custom Field (Deal)

maps to

Twenty CRM

Custom Field on Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Real Properties custom fields on deals migrate as custom fields on Twenty Opportunities. Commission split percentage fields, referral source pick-lists, and contingency fields map with type-aware transformation to preserve data integrity. Field order and group labels from Real Properties are exported as a human-readable rebuild reference document so your Twenty admin can recreate the original field layout in the Opportunity layout editor. Pick-list values for referral source are created as custom select options matching the source values.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Property records require a custom object that must be created before migration

    Real Properties stores property-specific data (address components, price, square footage, MLS number, bedrooms/bathrooms) on dedicated Property records. Twenty CRM does not have a native Property object — this data must live in a custom object that you create in Settings > Data Model before migration. FlitStack AI delivers a schema setup plan naming each custom field, its type, and its relation to Companies and Opportunities so your Twenty admin can pre-create the object. If you skip this step, property records land without their real estate fields and must be updated manually after migration.

  • Twenty API rate limits cap bulk import throughput at 100 requests per minute on Pro

    The Twenty Pro tier allows 100 API calls per minute; Organization tier allows 200/min. Real Properties exports can contain tens of thousands of records across People, Companies, Properties, and Opportunities. FlitStack AI batches inserts to respect the rate limit and retries on 429 responses. For datasets above 75,000 records, the migration clock time extends because the API throughput ceiling means fewer records land per minute. If your timeline is tight, consider upgrading to the Organization tier during migration for double the throughput.

  • Workflows and email sequences do not migrate — Real Properties automation model is incompatible

    Real Properties automation rules (property-alert triggers, stage-change workflows, drip email sequences) are built on a different event-and-action model than Twenty's workflow engine. Twenty workflows use triggers on record creation, field changes, or scheduled events, but the syntax, available actions, and conditional logic differ from Real Properties. FlitStack AI exports your workflow definitions as a human-readable rebuild reference so your Twenty admin can recreate them in Twenty's workflow builder. Marketing-automation sequences (if Real Properties includes them) must be rebuilt in a dedicated email marketing tool.

  • Deal-property links require relation records that need custom object setup

    Real Properties links deals to properties through a junction relationship — one deal can involve multiple properties (e.g., a portfolio sale). Twenty's Opportunity record links to other objects through standard relations, but many-to-many deal-property relationships need either a custom junction object or a multi-select relation on the Opportunity custom object. FlitStack AI surfaces the link cardinality in the migration plan before data moves so you can choose the right relation model in Twenty's data model settings.

  • Property address components need parsing into Twenty's address format

    Real Properties stores property address in structured fields: street, city, state, and ZIP as separate columns. Twenty's standard address field stores a single multi-line string. FlitStack AI concatenates these components into a formatted address string during the ETL step, preserving the original component fields as custom text fields on the Property object so you retain the structured data. If your Real Properties exports use non-standard address formats (unit numbers in street field, ZIP+4 extensions), these are flagged during the data audit phase for manual review.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Real Properties to Twenty CRM data migration

  1. Audit Real Properties data and design Twenty custom object schema

    FlitStack AI extracts a full data inventory from Real Properties: People count, Company count, Property record count, Deal count, and all custom field definitions with their types. We compare this against Twenty's standard objects and identify what requires custom objects (Property, any deal-property junction). We deliver a schema setup plan listing every custom object, custom field, field type, and relation to create in Twenty before data moves. Your admin creates the schema; we validate it via API before proceeding.

  2. Resolve owners and export all objects in dependency order

    Twenty requires Companies to exist before People (via the companyId relation), and People before Opportunities (for Opportunity Contact Roles). We run an email-match pass against Twenty Workspace Members for all Real Properties owner IDs. Unmatched owners are flagged with the owner's name and email so you can invite them to Twenty or assign a fallback. We then export objects in order: Companies first, then People, then Properties (custom object), then Opportunities, then Notes and Tasks.

  3. Run a sample migration with field-level diff on 200–500 records

    A representative slice migrates first — covering a mix of contacts with companies, property records, deals at different stages, and a few notes or tasks. We generate a field-level diff showing source value versus destination value for every mapped field. You verify that property custom fields landed on the right custom object, deal stages mapped to the correct Twenty stage, and owner resolution worked for the majority of records. Any mapping gaps get fixed before the full run.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit logging

    The full migration runs against Twenty's REST API at the rate-limit ceiling (100/min on Pro, 200/min on Organization). A delta-pickup window opens at migration start — any records modified in Real Properties during the cutover are captured in a second pass. Every operation logs to an audit trail: record count inserted, updated, skipped, and errored. One-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals critical issues.

  5. Deliver export package for workflow rebuild and post-migration verification

    FlitStack AI delivers a workflow export package: human-readable descriptions of every Real Properties automation rule, trigger condition, and action sequence formatted for Twenty's workflow builder syntax. Post-migration, we run a record-count reconciliation against your Real Properties export totals and surface any gaps. You verify the data in Twenty's UI, confirm custom object fields are populated, and sign off before the Real Properties account is deactivated.

  • Modern PostgreSQL-backed data model that developer teams can query, extend, and self-host.

Weaknesses

  • Recent v1.0 release means limited production hardening compared to CRMs with multi-year operational track records.
  • No native email sequencing or sales engagement tools — follow-up cadences require a separate platform.
  • No native two-way email sync or inbox integration, requiring third-party connectors for full activity logging.
  • Self-hosting 'free' pricing hides real infrastructure and DevOps costs that stack up over time.
  • Workflow automation is functional but lacks the complexity needed for sophisticated multi-step sales motions.
