Overview
Realvolve organizes real estate relationship data around People, Properties, and Transactions, with deep workflow automation for buyer/seller journeys. HighLevel takes a contact-centric approach with Opportunities, Companies, and a visual Workflow Builder — plus built-in funnels, SMS/email marketing, and scheduling that Realvolve users typically lack. We migrate Realvolve's contact records, company associations, transaction histories, and custom fields into HighLevel's equivalent objects via the HighLevel API v2.0, handling tag preservation, owner resolution by email match, and date-field continuity. What cannot move: Realvolve's Workflow Packages (Transaction Coordination Suite, Listing Management Suite, Premium Workflows) run on Realvolve's automation engine and have no direct HighLevel equivalent — we export the workflow definitions as a rebuild reference and your team reconstructs them in HighLevel's Workflow Builder. Realvolve's merge-field templates for email campaigns also require manual recreation in HighLevel's email designer. The migration uses a staged approach: contacts and companies first (via API), then transactions as Opportunities, then activity history, with a delta-pickup window capturing records modified during cutover.
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 Realvolve 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.
Realvolve
Person (Contact)
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Realvolve's People records map directly to HighLevel Contacts via our standard field mapping. Email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and social media handles transfer as standard Contact fields without transformation. Owner assignment resolves by matching the Realvolve owner email address to an existing HighLevel user account — unmatched owners are flagged for team invitation or record reassignment before migration completes.
Realvolve
Property
HighLevel
Custom Object (Property)
1:1Realvolve's Property records have no native HighLevel equivalent. We create a Property custom object in HighLevel (up to 10 custom objects per sub-account) and map fields like address, MLS number, property type, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Each Property links to Contact records via HighLevel's association model.
Realvolve
Transaction (Deal)
HighLevel
Opportunity
1:1Realvolve Transactions map to HighLevel Opportunities through our standard transformation pipeline. Transaction metadata including closing date, sale price, commission split percentage, and referral partner name become custom fields on the HighLevel Opportunity object. When a single Realvolve transaction links to multiple properties, we preserve the primary property association and flag secondary property links for manual review or junction-object configuration in HighLevel.
Realvolve
Company (Brokerage)
HighLevel
Company
1:1Realvolve company records including brokerages, lenders, title companies, and other business entities map directly to HighLevel Companies. Company name, physical address, website URL, and primary contact phone transfer as standard Company fields. Company-to-contact relationships establish through HighLevel's association linking model, connecting each Company record to its related Contact records in HighLevel.
Realvolve
Tag / Category
HighLevel
Tag
1:1Realvolve's contact categories and classification tags migrate to HighLevel Tags using our direct tag mapping process. Tag-based segmentation logic including Realvolve dynamic group memberships converts to tag memberships on the corresponding HighLevel Contacts. The automated filtering logic from Realvolve's dynamic groups must be rebuilt manually as HighLevel SmartList filters using tag conditions and custom field criteria.
Realvolve
Workflow
HighLevel
Workflow
1:1Realvolve Workflow Packages cannot migrate directly — they use Realvolve's proprietary workflow engine with pause-and-wait triggers that do not map to HighLevel's event-action model. We export workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference document and your team rebuilds them in HighLevel's Workflow Builder.
Realvolve
Note / Activity
HighLevel
Note / Activity
1:1Realvolve notes and comprehensive activity history including calls, emails, meetings, and tasks migrate to HighLevel Notes and Activity records. Original creation timestamps and assigned activity owners preserve exactly as they appear in Realvolve. HighLevel associates each migrated activity with its relevant Contact record using the contact association ID from Realvolve, maintaining the complete activity timeline on each contact profile.
Realvolve
Document / File
HighLevel
File / Attachment
1:1Realvolve File Manager documents attached to transactions or contacts download and re-upload to HighLevel as files attached to the corresponding Opportunity or Contact record. Each file preserves its original filename and attachment context during migration. File size limits apply according to HighLevel's storage configuration for your sub-account tier — large files may require additional storage provisioning before migration runs.
Realvolve
Dynamic Group
HighLevel
SmartList
1:1Realvolve dynamic groups automatically filter contacts based on property-value conditions and field criteria. These dynamic group definitions are not directly migratable to HighLevel because the underlying automation engine differs. We export the complete filter criteria as a structured reference document. HighLevel SmartLists then recreate the segmentation logic using a combination of tag filters, custom field conditions, and date-based criteria to replicate the original dynamic group behavior.
Realvolve
Email Template / Merge Field
HighLevel
Email Template
1:1Realvolve email templates using proprietary custom merge fields do not transfer directly to HighLevel's template engine. The complete template body and full list of merge-field variable names export as a structured reference document for your team. HighLevel's template engine uses liquid-template-style variables with different field names and object scopes, requiring complete manual reconstruction of each template in HighLevel's visual email designer.
Realvolve
Calendar Event
HighLevel
Appointment / Calendar Event
1:1Realvolve calendar events including showing appointments, listing presentations, and client meetings migrate to HighLevel Appointments using the native calendar integration. Original start date and time, end time, assigned user, and linked contact associations preserve exactly as recorded in Realvolve. Each appointment links to its corresponding Contact record in HighLevel for complete scheduling visibility on the contact timeline.
Realvolve
User / Team Member
HighLevel
User
1:1Realvolve users resolve to HighLevel users by matching email address exactly. Unmatched Realvolve users are flagged in the pre-migration audit report — teams must either invite them to join the HighLevel sub-account first or reassign their records to an existing HighLevel user before migration runs. Role-based permissions, team hierarchies, and access control settings require manual configuration in HighLevel's user management settings after migration completes.

Migration approach
Schema discovery and Realvolve data audit
We pull a full export from Realvolve covering People, Companies, Properties, Transactions, activity history, tags, and workflow package definitions. This audit identifies the exact count of custom fields on each object, the number of active workflow packages, the volume of document attachments, and any non-standard data patterns (duplicate records, missing email addresses, circular property associations). The output is a migration plan specifying which HighLevel custom objects and custom fields to create before data lands.
Create HighLevel schema: custom objects, custom fields, and tag taxonomy
Before migrating data, we create the Property custom object in HighLevel (with fields for address, MLS number, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms) and any custom fields on the Opportunity object for commission splits, transaction type, referral partner, and closing-date metadata. We also set up the tag taxonomy that maps to Realvolve's contact categories. This step requires admin-level access to the HighLevel sub-account and typically takes 1-2 days depending on the number of custom fields.
Migrate contacts, companies, and property records with owner resolution
Contacts and Companies move first via HighLevel's API v2.0. Owner resolution matches Realvolve owner email addresses to HighLevel user accounts — unmatched owners are flagged and your team either invites them to HighLevel or reassigns records to a fallback user. Properties migrate next as custom object records, linked to the primary contact via HighLevel's association API. Each property record stores the Realvolve ID for traceability. Tags apply during contact migration based on the Realvolve contact category mapping.
Migrate transactions as Opportunities and attach activity history
Realvolve Transactions migrate as HighLevel Opportunities with transaction metadata mapped to custom Opportunity fields (commission amount, commission split, transaction type, referral partner). Closing dates map directly to the HighLevel Opportunity Close Date. Activity history (notes, calls, emails, meetings) migrates as associated records on the relevant Contact or Opportunity. Files attached to transactions download and re-upload as Opportunity attachments in HighLevel.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and tag audit
A representative sample (typically 100-500 records spanning contacts, companies, properties, and transactions) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify commission field mapping, property association integrity, and tag accuracy before committing to the full run. Any value-mapping errors or missing custom field data surface here and get corrected before the full migration.
Full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback readiness
The full data set migrates with a delta-pickup window (typically 24-48 hours) that captures any Realvolve records created or modified during the cutover window. Your team continues working in Realvolve throughout the migration — FlitStack uses scoped read access only. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After cutover, your team begins rebuilding Realvolve workflows in HighLevel's Workflow Builder using the exported definition reference.
