Migrate your Sierra Interactive data
Real estate CRM and IDX website platform built for lead capture, behavioral automation, and SEO-optimized agent sites. Most popular with teams and brokers who need integrated lead generation alongside CRM capabilities.
In its favor
Why people choose Sierra Interactive
The signal that keeps Sierra Interactive on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
The platform combines IDX websites and CRM in a single system, eliminating the need to maintain a separate website vendor and keeping lead data in one place from first click to close.
Lead generation tools like IntelliSearch, behavioral tracking, and native lead routing help teams prioritize high-intent leads over cold, unqualified traffic from volume-focused competitors.
The Lead Import Wizard supports bulk CSV imports, making it practical to migrate existing lead lists from prior CRMs or offline databases without manual entry.
Nearly 100 integrations including Google Calendar, Shilo, Fello, and major IDX feeds mean teams can keep existing tools while adopting Sierra's CRM layer.
Fast, SEO-optimized IDX websites give agents organic search visibility without needing a separate web development vendor or hosting provider.
The CRM is considered basic compared to more robust real estate or enterprise CRMs, lacking advanced analytics, reporting dashboards, and deep pipeline management features that scaling teams need.
Site customization is limited, and agents do not own their website — it remains on Sierra's domain, which creates SEO risk and switching costs when leaving.
Price-prohibitive for solo agents or small teams: monthly costs of $500–$1500+ plus setup fees and annual commitments make it expensive relative to simpler alternatives.
Marketing automation features are underwhelming — email marketing capabilities are weak, and Action Plans require significant manual configuration without intuitive builders.
Feature development has been slow according to long-time users, with competitors adding AI tools and modern integrations faster than Sierra ships updates.

What gets migrated
Sierra Interactive object support
Object-by-object support for Sierra Interactive migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Leads
Fully supportedLeads are the primary CRM object. We can export via API (Find Leads, Retrieve Lead Details) and import via the Lead Import Wizard CSV. Custom lead properties map directly to destination fields. Lead status and lifecycle stage map to the destination's equivalent stage field.
Notes
Fully supportedNotes attach to Leads via the Add Note / Get Lead Notes endpoints. We preserve note content, author, and timestamp. Notes are migrated as a child object of the parent Lead.
Saved Listings
Mapping requiredSaved Listings store a lead's saved properties. The relationship between Lead and Listing must be recreated in the destination — we map the listing reference ID and property details, but destination-side listing data may not exist in an identical form.
Saved Searches
Mapping requiredSaved Searches are a Sierra-native concept storing search criteria a lead has saved. We export the search parameters and recreate them as saved searches or alerts in the destination CRM where supported.
Lead Tasks
Fully supportedLead Tasks include Add/Update/Remove/Find operations. We migrate task content, due dates, completion status, and owner assignment. Recurring tasks require re-establishment of triggers in the destination platform.
Action Plans
Mapping requiredAction Plans are sequences of emails, texts, ringless voicemails, and phone call tasks tied to automation triggers. These are not standard workflow objects — they require manual reconstruction in the destination CRM using native automation tools.
Lead Tags
Fully supportedTags are flat categorical labels on Leads. We migrate the full tag set and re-apply them as tags or labels in the destination platform.
Lead Sources
Fully supportedLead Sources track origination channel (website, Zillow, Realtor.com, ads, sphere, etc.). We preserve the source attribution per Lead record.
Users (Agents)
Mapping requiredAgents and Users are distinct objects. We migrate user profiles and agent assignments, but role-based permissions and team hierarchies may not map 1:1 to the destination's permission model.
Lead Ponds
Not in this platformLead Ponds are a Sierra-specific lead grouping/filtering concept with no standard CRM equivalent. We do not migrate Lead Pond assignments as standalone objects — we migrate the underlying lead records and their characteristics instead.
WebHook Subscriptions
Not in this platformWebHooks are outbound event subscriptions configured in Sierra. These are platform-specific integrations and cannot be migrated — they must be rebuilt in the new platform's event system.
Property Views
Mapping requiredProperty View events track what listings a lead has viewed. We export these as engagement activity records and map them to the destination's activity or engagement history object.
Saved Search Alerts
Mapping requiredAutomated alerts triggered by Saved Search criteria are tied to Sierra's native IDX. We document the criteria so they can be recreated as email alerts or CRM-based notifications in the destination.
Offices
Mapping requiredOffice records define team or brokerage structure. We migrate office metadata and map agent-to-office assignments. The destination may use Teams, Brokerages, or Companies for this concept.
